Where do I get these? The Logitech support pages seem to be useless (search

I haven't tried placing 50K pots in the wingman, but those drivers are so
intrusive and set in their ways, I'd be afraid of the results anyways.
Do a search for potentiometers on a search engine, maybe accompanied by your
location, and maybe you'll find a store locally that carries them. I would
perhaps suggest you bring your old pots with you, in case you get confused
over the diff. types.
Cheers,

BTW: I tell you a trick:
Just exchange the brake and throttle pot, most likely it will work again :-)
Why?
The pedal-pots maximum deflection is only used to a very small part. exchanging
the pots let them work "on a fresh layer".
BTW2:
Jason,
you know that JSchumi is already reserved for me in VROC? ;-)

When I was referring to "registry tweaks" though, it was under 2 premises:
1) Logi utilize their own drivers (which are very intrusive at the best of
times), so it is highly likely that they have their software calibrations,
etc. based on particular Ohm value (100K).
2) If you put in a 50K pot (as an example), and #1 is true, there will be
registry tweaks required to override the defaults of the Logi software.
Otherwise you will not get full range on the pots, and inconsistent results
may show themselves.
From what you told me though, it would seem as though:
a) The pots are of the same Ohm value in both (topic moot at this point)
b) The pots are not the same Ohm value, but the drivers do not force the Ohm
value in its settings (leaving it open for determination during
calibration).
Either way... it works well for whatever reason, and that is great :)
