LFS and iRacing in Windows 7 64-bit
My son gave me the RGT for my birthday. He likes his Logitech Momo but was unable to find one for me at a decent price.
The RGT wheel and pedals are well constructed and function properly, for the most part. The driver setup went so fast I thought something was wrong, so I did it again. You need to understand that "Control Panel" means the ThrustMaster Control Panel, not Windows'. The device driver for Win7 64-bit is in beta. The Test Effects section does not work. Watch out when you power up the wheel. It WILL immediately rotate lock-to-lock with all of its considerable force.
Response of the wheel in Live for Speed and iRacing is immediate and accurate. My main beef is the notchiness that the force feedback motor provides. It distracts from the precision driving experience. By fiddling with the "Control Panel" and game Controller settings, I was able to minimize that effect.
My old wheel is a Traxxas Free Wheel Racing Controller. It looks like an RC car transmitter. Actually, it's a PC game port version of their RC car wheel with nothing in the antenna hole. It is extremely quick and accurate for steering, throttle/brake and shifting but lacks other buttons and hat features. Also, I found no game ports that support Win7 64-bit. My times with the RGT are still worse than my times with the Traxxas.
My only other complaint with the RGT is that the pedals are pretty close together for my big feet. The clutch and shifter add a nice touch of realism to the games. However, if you forget to clutch when you stop, the engine goes to idle anyway rather than stalling. That may be a function of the games rather than the controller. I have not tried the analog paddles for throttle and brake yet.
Finally, the clamp seems strong enough but the wheel wobbled slightly forward and back when tightened down on my desk top. By moving 2 of the adhesive-backed rubber feet from directly under the clamp to positions closer to the flange that fits against the edge of the desk, I completely eliminated the wobble.
