Pedal Solution in GPL...

Hi all...I am quite happy with my Logitech wheel and FF. However those pedals need some help. Tried all the tricks, now I am thinking of purchasing a new set of pedals. What make would you all recommend? CH non pro pedals have been mentioned. Anybody using these? Do they calibrate easy on a standard game card or does one need to upgrade to say a PDPI L4 card? Any other makes worth mentioning. RRC looks good but there is a 6 month wait. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance... Dave RADC Racing

I also use the CH Pedals (non-pro) with my Logitech in GPL and love them. They have a large range of motion which is exactly what you need in GPL. You can make very minute changes under braking which makes a world of difference. They don't have much resistance though, so the squash ball trick under the brake pedal is a good idea. I plug them into my sound card's game port (a Dell OEM version of the Turtle Beach Montego). Even though this is a digital gameport, it is pretty noisy under calibration (this seems to be the fault of the gameport, not the pedals, as the results are similar with other input device). In summary, I highly recommend the CH Pedals for use with the Logitech and GPL. Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A.

I'm very happy with the crude pedals/hinge cludge I came up with. I would up with 2 3"x9"x1/2" hardwood pedals mounted to hinges that are screwed into the Logitech baseplate, about 3 inches from the stock pedal risers. I've also cut off the front of the stock pedals, and mounted a pair of 3/4" ball-bearing-equipped nylon wheels to reduce sliding friction at the new/old pedal interface. (These wheels are usually used to suport sliding screen doors, and come with a ~2 1/2 inch metal bracket complete with***holes.) Depending on your browser font it should look something like this.... / / /O = / " / " <-------- Old pedal(s). / " ----------L------ " --------- ^ "L" = Hinge After playing with it for a few weeks, I'm now trying to figure out how to add strong, progressive springs to my creation. As it stands, the pedals are immensly more useful. I'm playing GPL, NL, and Carmageddon2. FWIW, Greg ============ Anti-Spam measures have been taken! Remove the duplicate 'g' and 's' to reply.

I have the CH Pro pedals, but the normal CH pedals will do fine. The Pro pedals have an extra forward/backward sliding movement used for controlling the rudder in flight sims. I've got my LWFF plugged into a usb port and the ch pedals plugged in my joystick port, works perfect. Don't forget to put a squashball under the brake pedal!

I have the CH non pro and wired them to my logitech, because some games don't support multiply controllers (although GPL does :-). works perfect! you might want to make the brake pedal a bit harder, which I archieved by attaching a rubber band.

Really all the tricks?
