SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel Released

SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel Released is the story on November 17, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. Microsoft announced today the release of its SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel. This addition to the SideWinder line generates robust effects in PC driving games that support force-feedback effects, including road surface textures; crashes; bumps; centrifugal forces; engine, tire and suspension vibration; and other driving conditions.

All forces are driven by a powerful onboard coprocessor and a high-torque motor, freeing the CPU to deliver smooth on-screen action. SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel ships with slip-resistant pedals and full versions of two Microsoft driving games. SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel is available for an estimated retail price of $209.95. Drivers and hardware updates are not glamorous, but when they fix a game or unlock a card you already paid for, they matter.
