What's the best value PC steering wheel for mainly Sega model2, supermodel 3 emulation and possibly mame. I was considering the Logitech g25 / g27 but way to expensive... What other alternatives are available?

Got myself the Logitech DFGT off Amazon for £80 and got a PC car racing seat (Openwheeler) setup looks good.. Going down the PC racing simulator route instead.. Just toying with the idea of putting this into my cinema room with my projector beaming a 110 inch image or put it into the garage with a 22 inch lcd monitor... Going buy some racing games too, F1, Dirt 3, Test Drive 2 etc.. Decided against a bulky mame driving cab. I will stick with my mame cab to get my retro fix :) Ravi_s2013-10-18 23:16:08

Ravi, have at look a LFS (http://www.lfs.net/). You can play the demo version for free with a track and a couple of cars.
Granted it hasn't been updated in quite a few years (we're all still waiting for S3 release...), but for a driving game/sim it's pretty f*cking good, selection of tracks and quite a few different cars in the full version (fwd, rwd, 4wd, turbo etc). I used to drive home for lunch , have a few games/laps online and then go back to work :)
I bought my first PC wheel for Need For Speed 4, got a Logitech Formula Force , then a Momo Force, then a Driving Force GT and then my current G25.

Hi mate, I guess this similar to iracing? What's your setup, do you have a racing seat? How does the Logitech force GT compare to the G25. I was temped by the G27 but the extra cost, plus my racing seat has no gear mount( could upgrade it for £46) put me off...

Sorry ,slow reply!

LFS is more self contained I think,plus no subscriptions. There were quite a few leagues around,not sure how active they are right now as the latest update (S3) has been in the pipeline for *many* years now....
'Demo' (it's the full game but locked until you buy the license) is free and you get to play with 3 cars (one FWD, one RWD and a single seater), on one track.

I've had several Logi wheels over the years,including Momo Force and Driving Force Pro, biggest change I'd say between DFP and G25 is the pedals, heavier quality and obviously you get a clutch pedal too, plus full 'gate' shifter (G25 version you can switch it between UP/DOWN style, or full, G27 they removed it so only full shifter, but you still have flappy paddles of course)
