Hehe.....now I think about it is a bit strange. I obviously didn't read previous posts properly and thought that people were putting one half under each pedal:) Silly old me! Well I think it helps having it under the throttle pedal as it allows smoother getaways in GPL. You can squeeze the throttle and steadily build the revs. Without the half-ball I was often getting too many revs. Chris -- Citylab Durban www.citylab.com Olav K.

I finally got my MS Precision Racing Wheel yesterday and immediatly followed the advice that I had gained in here and bought myself a squash ball. It definately helps to have half a squash ball under each pedal though it does need quite a bit more pressure on the pedals. Has anyone had any reliability problems with their pedals because of doing this? Anyway it's a great wheel and highly recommended to anyone like myself who cannot afford a FF setup.

I have a very stiff spring under the brake pedal, no problems to report after several months hard usage. I returned my (FF) wheel as it developed slack in the steering after 11 months, got a credit note and bought a LWFF with it. Like most people on this ng I prefer the action of the LWFF (the MSFF was slow to accept opposite lock) and it doesn't hit the fps the way the MSFF does. I've still got the MS pedals so I'm going to try to connect them to the wheel.
