Whats a good Wheel combo for Nascar 3 ?

[airspro]

My friend at work is a Nascar nut and he is a pretty new PC user too .

What would u recommend ? USB would be nice to ease install etc , but not if you would lose the "feel" etc . I can't hold a line to save my bellybutton but it's really not my sport  

I remember quite a few here did both though .

I will pass this post on to my buddie Dick , thanks all in advance .

i have a logitech wingman formula force, it's a force feed back wheel and pedals, it has a usb adaptor pig tail so you can set it up either way, costs about $150 but works great

Sidewinder FF wheel is nice.

I'd recomend ditching N3 and getting N4.. totally awesome game.

Tell him to forget that pansy Nascar stuff and get Grand Prix Legends instead!.

P.S. Using the Guillemot FF Wheel here. The new logitech pedals are apperantly crap.

NASCAR 4 is designed around the GPL physics model... only with more horsepower

Hey thanks all . I forwarded this post to him so he could decide  

Only reason I told him 3 was he bought the "afordable" Dell pc and it's a 700 celery , with intergrated 8 mb intell v card   so don't know how 4 would run ?

Hey I really liked the Legends demo , was like I was a little boy again , hehe ( got pics sitting with the neighbor boys racing our slot cars when LeMans was on the TV ). Does that work at all with D3D ?

Also , u all say the 4 version is awsome , whats the major change ?

PS> I am going to check out all your wheel recomdations too  

Thanks

I'm sure he'll need a better video card, I got 15-20 fps on my old machine - a celeron 400 with a Voodoo3 PCI.  It will probably run with all the details turned down, but for another $150 he can get a GeForce2 MX or ATI Radeon that should work help.  More RAM can't hurt either.

LOL! You mean one word, 11 letters and only 3 vowels.  Maybe this is why I always cough up flem while pronouncing German words

  OK he bought a Microsoft FFB wheel from buy.com . I got the game working for him at last , man sometimes !!!

I bought back my old TM GT wheel   , much better than a joystick . I am 30 % into the demo for N4 , screenshots look great . Plus have ordered GPL , I found it on Amazon.com , the resellers had it for 13 bucks plus 5 to ship . I read on  http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/boards/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Grand+Prix+Legends&number=21&DaysPrune=20&LastLogin=

that they have a patch so u can run it in D3D  

thanks for all your time and effort in helping
