So I'm thinking of buying a steering wheel for my computer. What's you're recommended model. The Logitech Wingman? Is "Force Feedback" worth the extra $40 or so?
Which games are the your favorites? Either on the Internet or just on a stand-alone PC.
Thanks!

I use the yellow Wingman Formula GP. It ROCKS. FF is okay, but I find it more of a distraction than anything realistic-like. It's very precise, USB, and works great with my WingMan USB flightstick.

I got the red logitech formula force GP. I generally just play Gran Tourismo 3 with it, but I have to say that going from controllers to the wheel is like night and day as far as enjoyment and control go. It is well worth the $100+ in my opinion. And definately worth $40 more than a non force feedback wheel.

Actually, the best wheel I saw was a $900 setup where you sit in what looks like an F1 or CART tub with a steering wheel, pedals, and shifter. I have thought about that more than once, but can't seem to find a place for it.
