"360 degree" games usually have unrestricted movement, and use a spinner like (mouse like) sensor to detect turn. Notice the "usually". Some 270 games: outrun spy hunter hard drivin' (wheel turned closer to the g25's 900 degrees, but meets the other "270 degree" stuff) Some 360 games: sprint (4/8/super/championship) off road pole position As a general rule that has exceptions: top down track games: 360 in the cockpit race: 270 There are more 270 games (~50% more), and almost all of the newer games with steering wheels fit under "270 games" category, so the differnce is increasing over time. OTOH, most of my favorite old classics were 360 degree games: super sprint, off road, destruction derby, pole position. So it depends on what games you like. |

There is no substitute for an arcade 360deg wheel, other than a spinner. No 'off the shelf' PC steering wheel will be any good for 360deg wheel games. |

Sorry to Hijack but its on topic. Seeing as im going to get a spinner for driving games too I could do with some pedals. Does anyone have any experience with these pedals or does anyone have any views on them? Linky I take it from you guys are saying it would be best to get tthe pot version and interface it with an AKI to my IPAC? Looking at the mounting dimensions they would be to deep to mount to my cocktail side :( I suppose I could build an extension box, Ill have to go have a measure and a play. |

I have those pedals, and I am going to have to build a box for them too. My coin door sits too low to install it in the cab. Those pedals are used in a lot of driving games and they work great. They are the only pedals I know of that work well for both stand-up and sit-down games, |
