JUst an opinion....my Thrustmaster Formula 2 seems pretty good.  The
steering wheel feels a lot like my vee.  the pedals are a bit top
heavy.  I figure they would work better if mounted on a sheet of plywood
for more stability.  I made a special shelf to fit as a triangle
extension to my corner computer desk that mounts it more solid than just
the clamps that come with it.  With some oval tracks, I have taken some
poles, but I can not seem to get the road courses down, hard to really
look ahead.  I also think it is hard not having any seat of your pants
feel.  Does seem to work on improving reflexes and visual response.

Larry...just an old vee driver
