The pedal fix is simple and easy.Check out the discussion group on
<http://www.force-1.com/> or email me for details.

I also drive GP2, F1RS, CMR, Viper and various demos with it, can't get N2 to
work though.

I heard people who've placed squash/tennis ball behind the pedals to
fix the problem or replacing the springs with better ones.

I just like to know whether it's possible to swap the whole pedals set
with a different one, for example with the tsw2 pedals. Are there
electronics in the logitech pedals ? if not, is it possible just to
swap the wiring ?

YUP.  There are two pots in the pedals, three wires each; simple plug-ins.  I
swapped the Logitech wiring into my beloved CH pedals, and it's much nicer.
But the stockers really aren't that bad, if you just stiffen the springs.  I've
had TM pedals and I liked the function of the Logitech ones better out of the
box.

Paul,

Take the screws out of the bottom of the pedals and open the case, you'll find
two whimpy coil springs. Take these to a hardware store or a plumbers shop and
find something made of thicker wire and close in diameter to the original
springs, if the new springs are too long just cut them down to the proper
length. I paid less than two dollars for the springs and chose a heavier spring
for the brake than the throttle.

Another tip with the Logitech wheel, sometimes they have a very slight (2-3 mm)
bit of play in the wheel on center, not a problem really just a "loose" feel.
VERY carefully remove the plastic center of the wheel, use a fine jewlers
screwdriver, it is a very tight fit. There is a central nut holding the wheel
in place with a circuit board behind it. This nut must be tightened slightly
but BE VERY CAREFUL, if you crack the board, you're screwed. There is a washer
under the nut which has a folding tab to hold the nut in place, fold it down
before tightening the wheel and restore it when the nut is tight again.

I hope you enjoy your new wheel,

I need some help with the WFF and GPL. I can't seem to use the wheel in this
game; there is no option that I can find under input devices to choose the
wheel.

When I choose to calibrate after unchecking DirectInput and checking General
(I think), I get a screens showing 3 axes which say Unregistered. When moving
the wheel around and the pedals too, I see some of the numbers moving, but
when I start a race, I still get no response from the WFF.

Or do I have to setup a profile for GPL separately in the WFF control panel?

Thanks in advance for your help!
