hi everyone
please help me choose a good wheel
my options are
1- microsoft xbox 360 wireless wheel for 60 $
2- g25 for 130 $
3- g27 for 170 $
3- g29 for 170 $ with no shifter

i dont care about manual driving i will probably drive automatic
a FFP would be nice
what do u recommend
 
The wireless wheel may not work with PCs even if you do have the wireless receiver, plus I find it incredibly hard to drive with because there's no feeling of actually driving anything. Get the G27; it's only slightly older than the G29, and I'm assuming that you'd be getting a shifter with it because you made a point of mentioning that the G29 is being sold without a shifter.
 


no i was thinking of driving in automatic mode and not buying a shifter
is this even possible
 


shifters are that important
cant i shift from the buttons on the wheel
 
I don't see why not. The reason I think you'll lose to people who use shifters/manual shifting if you use auto mode is because I've never found an automatic transmission mode in any game that properly downshifts on corners.
