I bought this game a little while ago, played it a couple of times and thought it was alright, except I couldn't get my Logitech Dual Action controller to work with it in analogue.
Today I was in the mood for a driving game again, so I went and bought one of these:

Logitech MOMO linky (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2217,CONTENTID=6030)

It has transformed the game! I love this wheel. I can even move the shifter to the left hand side to make it easier to drive.
The force feedback is cool and I like how the brake pedal actually has a stiffer spring compared to the accelerator pedal.
I'll have to try it out with a couple of other games I have as well as get stuck into Test Drive.

Nice bucko. I was thinking of getting the Logitech G25 and acouple of driving games. Since im not old enough to drive some practice sounds good :twisted: Heres the G25 Link.

Its got the gear stick, 3 peddles, Steering wheel nd all. But its expensive so its either that or the Momo im still thinking.

Does it make it more Realistic Bucko? Like feel like driving a real car or close to it?

It's more realistic than using a keyboard or controller, but nothing like a real car where you feel the g-force and have an idea of when it's about to break loose.

I went with the momo wheel because the cheaper one only used suction cups to hold it in place. This one clamps to the desk.

Yeah, i have some one in my room now with clamp and suctioncaps. But i want a realistic one. If only we could get it to give us the G-force but i guess that isnt around lol. Only one more year until i can get my L's can't wait lol.

The g25 is supposed to be awesome, although sadly I haven't used one. The Momo has been top of the tree for a long time and rightly so.

I use a Saitek R440 and that's been fine for GTR2, GT Legends, and Trackmania United. Solid force feedback as well.

I have this exact wheel, and it's the BOMB for GT2 and GT Legends. I found the games to be almost unplayable without a wheel... on the flipside, this wheel was almost useless with NFS:U2 or Carbon.

Oh well, I love it anyways. :D

Cool beans, enjoy the new toy! I want one of those G25's but it's out of my price range. I just picked up Test Drive Unlimited for the 360 and love it, wish I had a wheel now...:(

I can't get the MOMO wheel to work with TDU. TDU sees the wheel and allows me to assign functions to the axes/buttons. But I can only brake, not accelerate. It says both Brake and Accelerate are assigned to "Combined Pedal." Is this right?

Ok I got it working with the pedals and now I can drive just fine. Still getting used to the wheel. Also the Force Feedback isn't very good, is it?

Nope, I had the same issue. It thinks that both pedals are on one axis. I went into the game controller settings on the control panel and checked all the buttons and pedals, but I"m pretty sure it was an in-game setting that corrected it... I'll try again when I get a chance.

Logitech is a MUST HAVE for anyone that likes to work the racing sims. I found the MOMO setup to be an excellent addition to compliment Nascar 2003 Racing season. The MOMO Racing Wheel works great on my Microsoft Windows XP Professional installation
