Great, innovative steering wheel / pedal combination

The target group of the product is clear: casual gamers who do not need to FFB, have the wherewithal and who want to set up home no racing Station / can. DC again the caution about: The steering wheel actually has no force feedback. Anyone that needs absolutely, should engage in this price range for Logitech G27 or G25. But can one do without it so you can buy with the cockpit a really first-class steering wheel.

I had long toyed with the idea zuzulegen a steering wheel for the PS3 to finally be able to throw the controller in a corner and steer Racing properly again, but for lack of a suitable seat / table - combination I put this project never into practice , Above all, I wanted my living room not fully provide a Racing Seat.

While browsing, I came across the cockpit, ordered it and after detailed test (last F1 2010), I can now issue a strong buy recommendation. The controls are precise, the key assignment is freely programmable and can be adjusted by means of own switch even the steering wheel sensitivity, without having to struggle through the setup menu of games. The cockpit is easily recognized from all games in which I've tested so far. Of course, the high compatibility comes at a price: The cockpit emulates a controller, will therefore always be recognized only as a controller rather than a steering wheel. In some games, the cause can not make certain sensitivity settings. One problem I have not yet felt, because you can change the hardware side directly on the steering wheel sensitivity yes.

Since the cockpit with about 12kg is relatively heavy and the majority of the weight in the base plate is, the stability of the construction is excellent, put away the heavy steering wheel also moves easily. Here, the cockpit is folded with a few simple steps and stowed -The living room is free again. Here's an idea how to find!

For processing: that is absolutely top quality! The steering wheel is coated with rubber mE and skid-proof, the shift paddles click noble and even the pedals are second to none - the outstanding sensitivity of brake and gas is given. The functional switch are nicely illuminated and contribute to the atmosphere. The only drawback: The steering wheel creaks when turning and that should not happen in a product in this price range! Although I must admit that the creaking noises are quieter and less with continuous use. Maybe they disappear also completely.

Conclusion: Great, innovative steering wheel / pedal combination which I unfortunately can only give 4 stars because of the creaking when steering.

A tip: If you look at the prices on the internet comparison, one will find strong fluctuations. A comparison may be worth so!
