Yup - had the same problem here... Very frustrating :-(
However - one late night digging through the help files that can be found on
Wingmanteam.com, I stumbled over the explanation:
The Black Wingman formula wheel will not be detected by the Wingman profiler
under XP - no support for a gameport....
What you have to do instead, is install a "Logitech Wingman Digital Device"
in the gamecontrollers panel....
Now XP will detect your wheel, and you can use it again :-) - but there
still won't be any profiler support :-(
Why Logitech has decided to do this is quite beyond me, as obviously XP has
no problem with a gameport.....
(I ended up byuing the Momo Force anyhow... ;-) )
Hope this helps!

Alternatively, you can define your own device in xp ie 2 axis, 4 button
wheel.

Thanks for the tip. You should see the smile on my face. Having not played
GPL for months I am now back and loving it.
See you all online soon.
