• Microsoft force feedback wheel versus Logitech Momo 2003-09-28 · 36 posts
  Sven asked whether to replace a worn Microsoft Force Feedback wheel with a Logitech Momo. Most said the Momo wheel was far better, but its short-travel pedals were widely criticised; Larry returned his Momo for that reason. Jone Tytlandsvik offered his adapter for using Microsoft pedals with the Momo wheel, and posters clarified the difference between the red Momo Force and black Momo Racing.
• New Logitech MOMO owner unsure about the pedals 2002-07-16 · 28 posts
  A user who switched from a Microsoft Force Feedback wheel to a MOMO found the wheel better but the pedals poor. Replies agreed the wheel was excellent and the pedals weak, recommending a tilted base, squash ball brake mod or TSW pedals. Larry kept his MSFF instead, and some argued smoothness matters more than strong force feedback.
• Logitech Momo Force versus Momo Racing wheels 2004-06-02 · 25 posts
  A poster noted the discontinued red Momo Force was briefly in stock at Newegg. Members compared it with the Momo Racing, saying the Force is sturdier with a different connector and power setup while the Racing has nicer force feedback, and Bill Driscoll described repeated Momo Racing pedal calibration failures. A Logitech beta pedal update was cited as a fix.
• Logitech MOMO wheel compared with Wingman Formula Force 2001-11-03 · 31 posts
  Posters compared the new Logitech MOMO wheel with the cable-driven Wingman Formula Force and the gear-driven Formula Force GP. Some found the MOMO's feel inferior to the original Wingman, but most owners said its ball-bearing design made it far smoother and more solid than the GP. Larry and Jens Schumi argued about whether the MOMO and GP share internals, and the Wingman Team forum was recommended for more information.
• Quick review of the Logitech MOMO wheel 2001-10-18 · 28 posts
  Braddo reviewed the newly received Logitech MOMO, praising the pedals over Act Labs Force RS ones. Mats Lofkvist recommended replacing the brake spring with a squash ball, which Andre Warringa tried after some difficulty and found transformed braking in GPL. Don Hodgdon reported force-feedback spiking in GPL that Warringa attributed to a bug in Logitech's new drivers.
• Logitech Momo versus Microsoft force feedback wheel 2005-03-08 · 23 posts
  A user with a Microsoft FF wheel asked whether a black Logitech Momo was worth getting. Replies recommended the Driving Force Pro or the Momo Racing and warned about intermittent pedal faults. There was confusion between the Momo Force and Momo Racing models, which led to a personal spat between Mitch_A and Smokin_Bob. ECCI pedals were suggested as an upgrade.
• NSR force feedback fixes, then a refresh rate flame war 2005-02-17 · 60 posts
  Users swapped fixes for NASCAR SimRacing problems. Smokin_Bob found that setting a Momo Force to 'joystick' instead of 'wheel' restored force feedback, and Larry found that 4x anti-aliasing destroyed frame rates. A question about running 120fps on a 100Hz monitor turned into a long, abusive argument between Mitch_A, Larry, fredrickson and Smokin_Bob over frame rate versus refresh rate.
• Act Labs Force RS or Logitech Momo? 2002-06-21 · 23 posts
  Ivtyf asked whether to buy an Act Labs Force RS or a Logitech Momo. Replies split: some praised Act Labs support and improved replacement pedals, others had pedal springs fail, and most praised the Momo wheel while disliking its pedals. Larry said his Microsoft wheel kept returning to his desk.
• Frame-rate drop in GPL after installing Logitech MOMO 2002-07-10 · 28 posts
  A user found GPL frame rates and force feedback poor after replacing a Logitech Wingman Formula Force with a MOMO. Steve Smith relayed Alison Hine's view that the MOMO feels different from the LWFF with the same settings, and Jan Verschueren recommended a GPL force-feedback latency around 30ms. The original poster traced the slowdown to high USB CPU usage and fixed it by reinstalling all USB devices.
• Is the Logitech Momo wheel worth buying untested? 2002-04-12 · 25 posts
  Mark Davison asked whether to replace his worn Thrustmaster wheel with a Logitech Momo. Most owners recommended it strongly, though many disliked the Momo pedals and some advised buying locally in case of a return. He bought one, kept his old pedals, and others discussed the merits of the earlier Logitech force-feedback wheel and its ball-bearing conversion.
• Logitech Momo versus Act-Labs Force RS wheel 2003-07-11 · 20 posts
  A buyer asked whether to choose the Logitech Momo or the Act-Labs Force RS. Most preferred the Momo's force feedback, though Act-Labs was praised for customer service and pedals. Ken MacKay reported that newer Force RS units had very coarse steering resolution of about 100 steps, while one owner had stripped Momo gears.
• Logitech MOMO calibration problems in F1 2001 2001-12-06 · 23 posts
  A new MOMO owner reported pedals disappearing and calibration problems in F1 2001. Andre Warringa said the disappearing pedals seemed to be an F1 2001 bug fixed by returning to the menu, and recommended the new Wingman 4.11c drivers, which include an off-centre fix and squash-ball pedal registry settings, plus DXDeadzone to remove DirectX dead zones.
• Choosing a Logitech MOMO force feedback wheel 2003-01-30 · 22 posts
  A Microsoft Precision Racing Wheel owner asked which force feedback wheel to buy, and owners of the Logitech MOMO Racing and MOMO Force praised both. Tips included putting a squash ball under the brake pedal. Much of the thread was about whether a CompUSA MOMO deal was a rebate, which turned out to be an in-store coupon price.
• Finding replacement potentiometers for Logitech MOMO pedals 2002-11-27 · 29 posts
  Ed White's MOMO throttle pot was wearing out and he looked for a replacement. Jone Tytlandsvik identified likely CTS series 251 and 295 parts with 50 degrees effective rotation, and MikeT said Logitech's pots were custom CTS parts sold only in bulk. Others reported success with CH or TSW pots and suggested swapping the throttle and brake pots.
• Steering sweep, linearity and precision on the MOMO wheel 2002-09-09 · 47 posts
  Adrian found the Logitech MOMO's 270-degree steering sweep awkward, prompting advice on Wingman profiles, in-game steering lock and linearity. GTX_SlotCar argued that a larger sweep reduced precision because the same number of resolution points was spread over more rotation, which Gerry Aitken, Ken MacKay and MadDAWG disputed. The long technical debate ended with agreement that ideal sweep depended on the driver and ergonomics.
