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.
Using the original Logitech force feedback wheel in Windows XP 2003-02-04 · 25 posts
WillyB4120 asked whether the original red Logitech Wingman Force wheel works in Windows XP with a USB adapter. Some said it worked, but Damien Smith warned that frame rates halved with force feedback in F1 2001/2002 under XP. The thread turned into an argument about Windows ME and an insult exchange between Greg Cisko and Redmist over frame-rate claims.
Notchy Logitech Wingman Formula Force wheels 2000-03-06 · 29 posts
Antony Bowers's new Logitech force feedback wheel developed a notchy feel within days. Others reported that China-made units often had bent motor shafts while older Taiwan-made ones stayed smooth, and Jens Schumacher described ball-bearing conversions. GTX_SlotCar explained why the spring setting should be zero for GPL, which uses constant forces.
GPL Logitech force feedback settings and braking help 1999-07-23 · 20 posts
Greg Cisko asked for core.ini force feedback settings for the Logitech wheel and help braking as late as the AI at Monza. Replies covered disabling driving aids, brake bias, braking technique and posted settings. Unchecking the combined pedal axis option gave him split gas and brake, which brought his lap times down to 1:35.2.
Choosing a wheel for around 150 to 175 dollars 2001-10-21 · 21 posts
Ed White asked whether to buy a Logitech MOMO or something else in his budget. Alternatives included the Act Labs Force RS and Tom Pabst's recommendation of BRD's upgradeable entry-level metal wheels, while Joe Marques compared his TSW2, Logitech and Thrustmaster wheels, preferring force feedback but noting the TSW2's better pedals. Some distrusted Logitech after the flimsy Force GP.
