I just broke down and got myself a Logitech momo FF wheel Saturday.

I have seen all the chatter in game about how much faster a wheel is than a mouse so I expected to plug it in and shave a second or 2 right away...

I have a pretty quick BW XRT setup, and I was running low 1:26 laps consistently with my mouse.
I have my lines nad brake/shift points all worked out so much that I barely even have to think about it anymore on that track, just zone out and go!

I tried and tried and the best lap I could turn with my wheel was 1:29...
Now I'm kind of dissappointed, I really like the immersion you get from using a FF wheel and pedals but I'm wondering if the pedals simply make you slower... I mean I can click from mouse1 to mouse 2 way faster than I can get my foot off the gas and onto the brake.

Do you wheel guys use another method for throttle control?

I just unlocked this game Saturday after about 2 months of Demo racing and I'm hooked!

I am curious about how each of you LFS veterans approched the overwhelming task of learning the tracks & cars...

I know BW like the back of my hand (from the demo obviously) but when I go to join a MP server noone runs that track with the XRT.

I don't have any decent Setups for any of the new cars (other than easy race sets) and it's difficult to stay out of peoples way when I dont know the tracks.
I mean I see theres a turn coming up in 100M but I dont know if I can take it foot on the floor, or if I have to drop to 2nd gear... so I get rammed ALOT.

I hate playing single player, and I will never be offered any decent setups by AI1, 2 or 3.

Please give me some suggestions on how to start with the massive learning curve that is LFS.
