Today, I came to the sad realization that I must part with my beloved Sidewinder Force Feedback Steering Wheel. I tried to keep it for as long as I could, but there comes a time when you have to let some things go.
When the red rubber grip started to separate from the rim, I cut it off and taped it. That was actually more comfortable. But for the past few months, I have struggled with a way to fix the pedals, after wearing out the springs. Nothing worked well enough; so, today, I disconnected and disassembled the wheel and pedals and placed them in the trash.
I could replace it with another one, but I think I will seriously look into a G27. If that is too far out of my budget, then I guess I'll have to find something else.
Until then, I guess I'll be playing a lot of FPS's. There is something to be said about listening to Judas Priest's "Painkiller" album, while playing "Painkiller".
