The cable that goes between the pedals and wheel... Is that a standard phone
cable?
I'm going to pick up a Momo Force and I remember the GP I had the cable was
WAY too short to go around the back of my desk to the pedals...
I just think it's time to try something besides the MSFFW. I'll probably go
back to it (I usually do), but I believe the limited rotation/resolution of
the MSFFW is actually starting to hurt these days.

You mean the Racing Force? The black one with a shifter? It's a DB9, or
standard serial cable if you like. It's probably "hardwired" to the pedals
so you will need a full wired extention cable.

Rats :( I thought it had RJ11's...
On a second note. The Pro wheel for PS2. The one with 900 degree's of
motion. I know it's not sold for the PC, but does it _work_ on the PC and
does the Wingman Software support it properly ?

The wheel is optical.

The wingman software supports it using a driver for a similar Logitech
wheel. But there is no specific driver for this wheel yet. There are rumors
and the developers strongly suggest there will be something in the future
(look at the wingman forum).
Some people look at the DFP as the best Logi wheel for the PC at the moment
(even better than the red momo) so I guess the drivers must be OK. But I
would guess most simracers would prefer the red momo ;)
DFP has the same DB9 BTW. :)

Thanks for the info.
I actually sold my Red Momo. It only had a few hours on it. The wheel was
great, but the pedals were intolerable to me.

I think it's ok, really. It only has 64 steps of resolution from what I
understand and I think that might be part of my road-course issues.

I know. That's why I put in a ;)
You chickened out on adapting your MS pedals to it remember? :)
