I'm considering upgrading to a Direct Drive Wheel. (Right now, I'm using a Logitech G29 wheel and pedals. But I also own an old, but perfectly workable (I think), TSW Sport wheel and peds from when I was heavily into racing GPL back in the late 90's, early 00's.) I know very little about Direct Drive wheels so please bear with me:
1. Do DD wheels usually come with pedals? If not, how do wheels and peds connect if not from the same manufacturer?
2. Is there any way to still use the peds from my TSW Sport? The TSW connected with the old gameport connection, so I assume that some kind of adaptor would be necessary. Do such adaptors exist and are they reliable?
3. I would continue to us the desk that supports my Logi wheel. It's fine for the Logi, but I'm concerned that a DD wheel might weigh too much and/or have too much torque. I don't want to stress the desk, so are there any good, reliable DD wheels that are on the light-weight side?
4. Are any DD wheels ever discounted, and what's the general return policy on them?
5. Are there any other concerns/things to consider when thinking of purchasing a DD wheel?
6. What specific DD wheel would you recommend based on my situation?
Oh - FWIW, the sims I use most are AC (in VR), KartKraft, Automobilista, RRE3 (in VR), RF2 (in VR). I also have PC2, Kart Racing Pro and Dirt Rally but don't run them nearly as often.
Thanks!
