I have been running the Momo for a few months now, and love it. Matter of fact, my TSW2 sits idly by and hasn't seen my desktop since I purchased the Momo. This is my first FF wheel, and I am curious. I see folks stating they love FF because of the better feel it gives them of the car, ie they can seemingly feel when it is pushing or when the rear end starts to break loose. Now maybe I am having this and not recognizing it, but I just don't seem to be able to get the same feel for the car. In F12002, the FF is very good - I can feel the bumps and so forth, but I really don't feel over steer or under steer through the FF. Same in N2002, I don't think the FF is quite as good as in F12002, about all I feel is resistance when the car gets a little out of shape. Are there setttings for fine tuning the wheel I am missing? I normally run the Momo at about 110% in the game controller applet, with centering spring at about 60% and dampening at about 20%. In the sims, I set it to 100% FF ( in F12002 I set it at -100%). Again, I love the Momo - just wish I had more pedal throw - just want to advance to the next level if there is one in my FF experience. Thanks, Don Burnette

I was about to ask nearly the same question. I will add what little I know(hush Goy!) For the Papy sims, the centering spring should be turned off. They deal with it's use in the ff code so turning it on overides that. 2nd, from past experience, especially with the LWFF, many users found the FF would mysteriously quit. The cause/cure was lowering the FF effects to under 100%. I beleive the consensus was the FF motor would overheat and stop working when using FF above 100%. Now. As to damping and such...I hope somebody had a good group of settings.. dave henrie

I would like to hear a good explanation of the effects of latency, dampening, and centering spring. Don Burnette
Here is an old but well written and helpful seminar on Force Feedback, with an emphasis on the Logitech Wingman Formula Force, the essence of the new MOMO wheel.
