@xdlugia1 No it doesn't feel weird at all, but then I've been palying racing sims with a wheel for 5 years now so I guess I'm just used to it.

[xdlugia1]

@UKOGjonboy I see... That's just like me. I'm not braking with left foot on the road, but when I drive Go-Kart I brake with left (because it is impossible to brake with right).

But my question is: Doesn't it feel wierd to use left foot braking when driving a regular road car on a sim?

[UKOGjonboy]

@xdlugia1 Oh yes I do drive in real life, very much, I'm a Paramedic on rapid response cars....driving cars at speed is part of my job and on the road they don't come much more qualified than my collegues and I am, unless you're a traffic cop, Left foot braking depends on the car you're in. In road cars obviously I don't left foot brake but on track when I've driven Formula Ford and Formula First I have left foot braked in the past.

[xdlugia1]

@UKOGjonboy Yeah, you have to use left foot to brake in karts. But in real life, you you brake with your left foot there too, or......... Don't you drive in real life?

[UKOGjonboy]

@xdlugia1 Yes at the moment I Left foot brake partly due to the pole in the way on the playseat and partly because I find it comfortable to race that way, I've always Left Foot Braked woith Sim Wheels, from Logitech DFP, M$, Logitech DFX, Fanatec PWTS and Fanatec GT2, I also Left Foot brake when in Karts and have been a left foot braker in single seater cars such as Formula Ford and Formula First.

@xdlugia1 If you've never used any other wheel then the MS one will feel quite good BUT! Before owning an MS wheel I'd owned the Logitech DFP for my PS2 it cost £54 and was a brilliant wheel, great FFb, 900* support, brilliant pedals and great clamps.the MS wheel cost me £82 and had reasonable FFb, only 270*, horribly uncomfortable pedals and crap clamps! It's a poor wheel which was 4 years out of date on the day it was released 4 Years ago...now it's 8 years out of date! And still overpriced.

[xdlugia1]

@UKOGjonboy Actually the Microsoft Wheel is very good, but it may feel bad because you're used to the Fanatec one. But I wish the MS one had 900* instead of simply 270*.

As a student I may not have enough money, but maybe when I grow rich! xD

But one more question: When you have your wheel and pedals on that stand, a pole in the centre will make you unable of moving your foot from gas to brake (Which people do IRL), do you have to use both feet then?

[UKOGjonboy]

@xdlugia1 The Microsoft wheel is a plasticy, unreliable and overpriced toy...I've had one, it was OK but for the price I wouldn't touch it..if it was $50 I would think about it, however the Fanatec is well worth the money. The GT2 is the wheel for you and your XBox use..it's $300 with the pedals..not $400, however the price would rise if you want Clubsport pedals. Have a look at some of the later episodes of my review vids and you'll find a comparison between M$, Fanatec and Logitech wheels

[xdlugia1]

Nice, but is it worth 400$ or should I get a Microsoft Wheel for 80$?
