So now almost six years after my first ThrustMaster wheel purchase I get their latest offering only to find not much has changed. The pedals are excellent quality and offer great resistance. Unfortunately the base is extremely light and will slide all over the floor while using the pedals. Rubber feet are provided that you can stick on the bottom of the pedal base, but they do little to keep it from sliding on carpet. Gluing a tack-strip to the back of the base would be more effective.
Installation is a snap.
You can use the standard Windows drivers or install the ThrustMapper 3 Software that comes with your wheel. This software allow you to configure and program the buttons on the wheel as well as choose between split or combined axis for the pedals. The top of the main wheel component is a royal blue and the wheel hub has a simulated aluminum finish. There is a nice no-slip cushy grip area where you are most likely to be gripping the wheel. Butterfly shifters and a stick are provided so you can choose your preferred method of shifting.
