I see where the new beta Wingman software has some built in unofficial
support for the Playstation 2 version of the Formula Force wheel when used
on a PC.
Being wheel chair bound and unable to use my legs for driving I have been
using a Thrustmaster Modena 360 Wheel because it has two analog paddles for
acceleration and braking as well as two paddle switches for F1 style
shifting.
However I am on my third replacement wheel. None have made it past 2 1/2
weeks without one or both of the analog paddles breaking something in the
return spring mechanism. Not a happy camper.
Could someone who is using the Logitech Playstation 2 FF wheel on a PC let
me know what functionality has been added to the new Logitech Setup program
?
Specifically can one;
1) use split axis
2) program the various buttons on the wheel
3) adjust the FF effects.
It is currently the only other wheel I know of that has analog paddles and
connects via USB.

PS Any other advice on alternative solutions are welcome.
( I can live without ff effects and wouldn't mind if I had to drive an
automatic. So at a minimum it would have to have the 2 analog paddles and
be reasonably sturdy. Oh! And drivers that would work in Win XP Pro)
I purchase my wheel for the PS2 and works well on the PC as it is just a PC
wheel
with a GT3 sticker. you may need the latest Winman software.
