Anyone still with "Ol' Red" LWFF?

However, before this happened my LWFF had loosened to a stage at which it wasn't viable without a ball bearig upgrade. I always hate to see legacy simracing sites go (we-race.net is an example), but I doubt anyone not benifitting from your efforts (and thus not needing what is written on your site, or long since having archived it) is still running an LWFF. I'm on to a G25 nowadays, not because I particulary like this model, but because my Driving Force Pro (plastic peace of junk, but great FFB) concked out and I couldn't buy a new one. I should have poked BRD about the Speed7FF eons ago, but I still haven't got around to it. :-( Jan. =---
I still run the original red LWFF! I can't believe games as new as Grid still work with her. :) I have a Driving Force Pro for my Playstation, which has much better and smoother feedback, and even the grip is comparable to the sticky rubber Red. I'll be sad when I have to retire Red... On Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:43:14 GMT, [email hidden] (JS) wrote:

Hey, I don't post much anymore, but I also still have one as a wheel on the LAN. Have a MOMO for my primary wheel. I feel like I should get a G25, but I don't spend nearly the time I used to on race sims. Tim

I just chucked mine in the bin a month ago. But it had been sitting for a few years. The red rubber grips were nasty, so nasty to touch; too much oil from the skin. Could Logitech make a *two* motor *cable* driven wheel? Please? And put all the freakin wires to the pedal base, with just one wire going up to the wheel housing? PLEASE.

I'm still using my Old Red, with Jens' ball bearing mod. Got a G25 now too, which I love for the shifter, the clutch pedal, and the 900 degrees of travel, but it can't touch the Old Red's silky feel and force feedback detail.

Oops. Should have said Jens, if you can leave Logicorner up, please do. If I ever need to replace the cable or the pot in my Old Red, your photos and instructions for disassembly/assembly would be priceless. If you must take down the site, would it be possible to bundle up all the instructions and images into a PDF that could be posted somewhere for people to download and save?
