Thanks: Gave 4, Got 1 | Wheel stand pro for forza 3
For anyone whos been using the wheel stand pro, does the clamps hold the steering column in place even under force. I was thinking that after using it for sometime that the steering column would lose its strength or start to loosen.
Are there any issues using the wheel stand pro with the xbox360 steering wheel and pedals, and are you able to hold the xbox360 pedals in place?
Any help would be appreciated.
Really want to use steering wheel on Forza 3 from the get go. Used joypad with Forza 2 and when I did get steering wheel, pedals moving was always an issue, and couldnt get near my joypad times. I figure only way I would stick with steering wheel is if I dont touch the joypad on the game at all.

I just got a WSP and have been using it for a week now and i have to say it is excellently engineered. I haven't had one facet of the wheel be it the wheel itself or the pedals move around when playing, doesn't matter how much i rag it about
All you have to do is to make things hand tight because they use very good and very clever fixings.
As for the pedals, once you use the plate and fix them to the stand they are going nowhere, you'll have to push the whole stand through whatever's in front of you to get them to move and even then they'll still be fixed to the stand

Hi Screemer, The M$ wheel is very good for its price of £70 and i think Game may still be doing it for £60 when bought with anything else (just buy the cheapest thing in the store). I'd held off for ages from getting one thinking that it was poor for some reason but it's easily every bit as good as my memories of the Logitech DFP (PS3 only) which itself is a very good wheel...
However if you want the uber wheel then be prepared to part with uber cash and get yourself the fanatec. Just make sure if you do that your interest in Forza 3 is more than a fad!

I got MS Official Wheel and pedals and think its a quality product, and just ordered the wheel stand pro after alot of reading around these forums.
I am now trying to find out if I can add pedals with clutch and gear stick to my MS wheel at a reasonable price as I can not pay up for fanatec wheel. If I had the cash then the Fanatec would be my first choice.

I loose track Screemer, there's so many different versions and it depends which consoles you want it to work on.
I think you need the one that works on everything as this i think is the only one which importantly works with the 360.
@ GMC sorry mate i haven't forgotten i promised pictures of my wheel set up on the wheel stand i will do it this week.

@ GMC sorry mate i haven't forgotten i promised pictures of my wheel set up on the wheel stand i will do it this week.  | Its the Turbo S version you need, its the multi platform version and therefore only one compatible with the 360. I have one on order myself (the Clubsport edition as this comes with the all aluminum pedals the other version comes with standard pedals). I will be using it with both Forza and GT5 when it is released.
Its the best "mid priced" wheel out there, all in costing me about £550!! But bear in mind that cost includes the Fanatec wheel stand which bumped the price up about £100. I went for the Club sport edition simply because If I bought the standard edition the uber pedals would be another £150 when I bought separately at a later date (which I know I would have!!). So there is a (relative) saving to be made in buying them as an integral package.

i'm sure the fanetec will be good but i doubt it will be 10x better than the M$ wheel. Personally i'd have to play racing games non stop to justify such expenditure...

Lol!! You could well be right but **** it I know I wont regret it and I pretty much will be playing nothing else for a good few months at least!! then when GT5 is finally released it will definately justify my flagrent disregard of the credit crunch

I'm going to have a go at making a Wheel Stand Pro variation, doesn't look much to it really.
