Logitec Formula Force (old red) and GPL

OK, what's up with my wheel in GPL. I got back into GPL recently and pulled out my good old red wheel. Plugged it in, loaded the latest Logitec drivers and I can't seem to select separate axis brake and gas! Messing with the profiler did not help. Now in the 68 mod, it's showing up too many axis, and basically the wheel is not working right. Nothing wrong with this wheel, and it has the BB modifications, it's a great wheel! Always worked perfectly before... Has anyone else had this trouble, is there a fix? -- Norton - all around good guy BF2, BFV, AGB, GPL Go ahead email me, I'm not hiding anything. Spambots move along, nothing to see here...

Same here. What I do to fix it is disconnecting the cable on the wheel, wait a second, and reconnect it. That way I've separate axis again. I guess a more permanent solution would be an entry for GPL in the profiler software, but I didn't try it yet. Cheers! Remco

The latest logitech drivers no longer support the old LWFF. Check www.wingmanteam.com for more details. -- Mika Takala

I've struggled with mine since a fresh Windows install (my HD dies). I now have combined *and* separate axes in GPL and have to faff about to get it to choose the split axes. It's fine in all other games. I also have sound problems in GPL only - the in-car engine is running at something like 2x frequency. It sometimes starts off OK but then goes wrong after a collision.

I had the same thing with mine (Win2000Pro here). I finally gave up and now just use a black Momo. Even if you just use end up using the combined axis, some of the newer games send too much FF information for the old wheel to handle. Live for Speed made my red Logi do some really crazy oscilations if I turned the ingame force levels to anything over 15-25%. MRSisson -- LOAD "GPL",8 SEARCHING FOR GPL LOADING READY. RUN

Yes, thanks Tom, and you too Steve, you're a lifesaver.

Well, Need for Speed sucked, the menus kept moving, but hopefully GPL and the important games will work fine. -- Norton - all around good guy BF2, BFV, AGB, GPL Go ahead email me, I'm not hiding anything.
