Microsoft sidewinder precision racing wheel

Can anyone tell me if they have been able to get this wheel working
correctly with Vista?
I have tried but find that the left pedal does not map, so you are left with
no brakes.
What equivalent wheel would be recommended?
Many thanks for any advice
Regards
Stick

Re: Microsoft sidewinder precision racing wheel

I had the sidewinder force feedback wheel for yrs but it did not like
Vista..Never a problem with the pedals but other little bugs...I went out
and paid the bucks for the Logitech G25 wheel and all I can say is Damn !!
this wheel is Awesome !!...Very easy to install and configure....I race a
lot of different games both new and old and the wheel is perfect in
all.......Just my 3 cents

Thanks for your response Drew, I will have to look at that wheel. I have to
say that it's a shame I can't use my wheel as I really like it. Time moves
on though!

Re: Microsoft sidewinder precision racing wheel

Definitely time moves on....I always thought the sidewinder was the best and
was upset when Microsoft stopped making there wheels....But then I got the
G25.....If you have the money consider it you will not be sorry
