Cheap and Easy Driving Wheel/Pedals
Knievel:
I'm posting this for those looking for a cheap way to add some fun to their driving games.
I purchased a basic Microsoft Sidewinder wheel/pedal combo on eBay and it works great with a number of them. Games like Pole Position 1+2, Turbo, Hang-On, Outrun, Chase HQ, etc. It won't work for games like Super Sprint where you have to spin the wheel all the way around.
There are paddle-switches behind the wheel for switching gears and 6 buttons on the front for extra things like Nitrous. A nice feature is the quick clamp underneath so you can take it on and off in one move. It's also got 3 thick rubber pads underneath it so your CP won't get messed up.
It has just a single USB connection so you can connect and disconnect it anytime,
Chris:
Pole Position 1/2 are 360o wheel games.
Knievel:
I played them both last night, seemed fine. Actually a few of the 360

I actually was just looking at this the other day (I also have that sidewinder wheel). Unfortunately, the lip on the front of my control panel isn't big enough. :( Glad to know it works with the games though.
Chris:
My Logitech wheel fits, but I had to build a spacer to protect the trackball when it's mounted.
I usually use the Player 2 joy as a shifter rather than the padle buttons.
