I apologize if there is already a thread like this!!

I have been playing LFS for a while now and I am thinking of buying a steering wheel.

Can anyone recommend a good one or which one I should buy. Please feel free to include hyperlinks, pictures or the names of the different wheels.

Cheers!

Then get on your knees... we have a whole sub-forum dedicated to wheels! :)

My advice: have a read around.

Chris, to save you the bother, I have asked the question and trawled through the forum threads here.

If you are getting a new wheel then the two options that are "affordable" (sort of!) are these two:

Logitech Driving Force Pro - about £65 which seems to be the best of the reasonably priced wheels!

Logitech G25 - the dogs whatsits! If you can afford it, it sounds like the cream of the crop!

====================

as to where and price, I know someone ordered a DFP yesterday through amazon for £60 +5 shipping! as you can find in the link below:

I know where you come from. I use the xbox controller and/or keyboard. they both have good and bad points. I do want to get a wheel though!

I own a VPP Wheel inclusive Hyperreal Pedals (incl. Clutch) and I can say this combo is worth every cent I spend on it.
