LWFF Pedals with MOMO Racing FF Wheel?

LWFF Pedals with MOMO Racing FF Wheel?

My LWFF wheel finally died after years of dependable use (cable broke).  I
ordered a MOMO Racing wheel to replace it but I'm worried about the pedal
problems.  Can I use the LWFF pedals with the MOMO wheel?  The MOMO wheel
isn't here yet so I haven't looked at the connections.

"Ordered"?  Somebody is still selling new Momo Racing wheels?  If so, tell
me who & where; I'd buy a spare in a heartbeat.

No, you can't use LWFF pedals w. the Momo Racing (or Force) wheels AFAIK
(different electonics).  However, you can get a set of TSW pedals to work w.
a Momo Racing wheel; a much better deal.  You can either hardwire them (TSW
will do the job for abt. $60 or you can do it yerself) or, under XP, simply
connect them as a second controller device and put the Logi wheels, still
connected, somewhere out of the way.

Youre backwards Steve.  The Racing is Black and the Force is Red.  Ive seen
the Racing version everywhere but the force is tough to locate.

Papy games can see multiple controllers so I dont see why he cannot use his
original pedals with his new Racing wheel.  Games that only support a single
device you'll have a problem.

Right you are, Mitch.  I've got 2 of the original (red) models - just looked
at the box: "Force" it is.

I thought the prob was that WinME and earlier won't recognize more than one
controller at a time.  Or is that only the legacy gameport?  Will USB under
SE/ME recognize 2 sep. controllers at the same time?

Steve/Mitch,
Thanks for the advice.  It seems that I may be able to get it working under
GPL but I mostly still play Sports Car GT (am I the last one?).  I think I
am out of luck there.  I am running XP SP1.  I'll see what I can do when the
wheel gets here.

BTW, it is the black MOMO.  I am hoping that the Logitech build quality that
was in the LWFF still exists.  I tried an Enzo wheel but out of the box it
made a loud popping noise when turning and it wouldn't stay calibrated.  If
their QC is that bad, I don't want to deal with their customer service in 3
months when the thing breaks.  I sent it back.

You can run multiple controllers with gameports with certain restrictions,
and any OS that supports USB (ie later than Win95) will support multiple
controllers, as many as you have ports for.

The only restriction is in the game or sim. By default IIRC gpl recognises
the first & last controller, with gplshift it will support up to 16 axis on
any number of controllers.

So if the title the OP wants to race with only supports one controller they
will need to rewire the controllers so they appear as one. If the title
supports multiple controllers just put one wheel & one set of pedals to one
side (still plugged in though) and use the preferred combination.
