The unique gas and brake ?paddle system? may sound a bit odd at first, but -- in practice -- it actually works pretty well. At the very least, it prevents you from having to deal with a lightweight, plastic pedal cluster that springs away from you the first time you lift your foot off of it (if not before). In addition, the
Sportster Racing Wheel has a ?digital acceleration gauge,? which is made of a series of LED indicator lights at the top of the steering wheel that display how much acceleration you are currently applying. This gives you instant visual feedback on the relative amount of acceleration, instead of having to judge based on reactions in the game (which can be heavily modified by traction conditions and other factors).
One unique feature to the Sportster Racing Wheel is a feature that Pelican calls ?TCS,? or Traction Control System. By monitoring the quickness (jerkiness?) of your actions, the steering wheel can actually compensate, lessening over-steer and improving handling on tight curves. This feature actually works. You will have to ?tweak? the sensitivity settings to fit the game and your style of driving, but the TCS actually can help keep your car in control in those ?overly exciting? close calls.
