10 yrs. ago I was racing all the time and was using a wheel that I bought from a company in San Jose, Ca. call Simulation Systems. This company primarily provided high quality, very durable wheels for arcade machines. They decided to market to the general public for a few years and sold a PC wheel/pedals for some $750. When they stopped selling to the general public, this setup was selling for some $1300.
I would like to use this wheel with LFS, so I just hooked it up to my gameport and am finding that my computer is not recogizing the wheel which is set up in Control Panel as a "2 axis/4 button" controller. Last time I used it it worked fine. I am not sure if I have ever used it with my current puter (about 3 yrs old). Is it possible that the newer puter might not work with it? I did check the port with a Microsoft Sidewinder and it found it, so there is no problem with the port. I would love to continue using this wheel and am seeking someone who might have an idea why it is not working. But if I can't get it working-------
What is the current state-of-the-art wheel for Pcs these days, to specifically be using with LFS? I look forward to your feedback and to see you on the tracks soon. Thanks
