I've raved about the MOMO endlessly. It's what I use and what several TG'ers ended up getting. Can't say enough good things about it. Pricey, but if you can afford it, or find a used one, I recommend it.

Though, I am salivating over the yet to be released G25. Love love love...

**Clodhopper** · 09-26-2006, 10:37 AM

Yeah, logitech is killing me with their new G- lineup.. that keyboard, the mice (got one!) and now that steering wheel.

Bastards!

I think MOMO will be the way I'll go. Found a nice deal online, save myself about 30 bucks, but will have to wait a maximum of 2 weeks for it. Not a problem for me, just one a couple races in the demo this morning with they joystick :P My best run had me finish 57 seconds ahead of the pack on a 7 lap run.

GTR2 demo had me for a few hours last night aswell... looks like there are two games I need to get. GT-L will be the definate though, I can't get enough of those cars!

I think you'll be very happy with that wheel.

I should add that we're playing on Professional level difficulty. Don't know if your win vs AI was on that level. Just FYI - I don't want it to be a shock for you when jumping in on League games the first time.

**Clodhopper** · 09-26-2006, 11:25 AM

Playing at novice right now and its a little too easy... I blame the joystick (and I sure as hell can't drive with the keyboard). Get me behind a wheel and I bet I can play with the big boys!

**Mirfee** · 09-26-2006, 01:00 PM

Sounds good Clod. Looking forward to having you join us.

EDIT: That's in the SM-only section, Rocket. He can't see it til his SM status gets renewed.

I'm just getting to know TG as a World of Warcraft player, but I just do that to get away from my sim racing! Glad to see you guys have a presence. I know at least one other race, Vondoom, that's a TG member. I picked up GTR@ last weekend and think it will be a hit. Let me know when you run a GTR2 race, as I'd enjoy some friendly racing!

Thanks for stopping by borghest. Glad you had a few minutes to chat on TS. I'll be sure to post in this forum when we hold an open session. If I remember to, I'll try and PM you to bring it to your attention.

Thanks for your interest. Welcome to TG!

I am so getting this one.

Macau is one of my favorite circuit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2bbPcHV8Vk

Some of the 'news'/speculations I've read are skeptical. Though Simbin is publishing it, apparently it's not the same design team (10tacle) that did GTL/GTR2.

I'm waiting for more info before getting excited.

NCman · 10-01-2006, 12:13 PM

Actually, I think Simbin is the developer and 10tacle is the publisher - but you're right that the design team probably isn't the same one that did GTR1+2 and GTL. It might still be good, but I wouldn't think it's the automatic lock that a Simbin designed game most likely would be.

**Mirfee** · 10-01-2006, 12:28 PM

Yeah, I could have the names mixed up. But as you say, some suttlebutt circulating around says it's not necessarily a top-shelf product given the unclear dev info.

I'll have to see if I can locate what I read (it was one of those totally tangent discoveries whilst looking up GTL/GTR2 stuff).

I play Richard Burns Rally. (rip)

I like rally and RBR is a great rally sim. I just wish they had more cars and stages.
