Logitech's web page says "pedals are programmable", does this mean gas/brakes can be set on different axis? Does the Formula Force support sep. axis? TIA Dino

For now, it's a global setting in the control panel. In future revisions of the software, it will be settable on a per-game basis, for the older or arcade-style games which don't support separate pedals. koma

I have this controller. Yes, the gas and brake pedals may be put on separate axis. But I would recommend you install some stronger springs (as others have mentioned) if you purchase this wheel. Otherwise, everything is fine.

How would I proceed if I wanted to replace the springs in the pedal combo ? Regards, Carl

A bit off topic, but can you easily replace the Logitech's pedals with other pedals one might have? Are they just plugged in with a standard D-connector or do they have a custom connector? I'm thinking of replacing the pedals with my CH Pro Pedals, if I decide to buy the wheel.. -Juha --

I haven't opened the case yet. Someone else made a post and said it was quite easy to do. One day, when I get some time, I'll do the same thing. Oh by the way, congratulations to Mika Haakkinen. (Although I'm more of a Mika Salo fan myself)<grin>

No. the transformer connects to the pedals not the wheel. The cable to the wheel connects using a 25 pin serial connector and hooks up to the computer either with a 9 pin serial or through an included adapter to a USB port. The cable carries the power to the wheel unit motor so I doubt there is any way to replace the pedals. And I recommend not changing the connections with power to the unit. -Dale >A bit off topic, but can you easily replace the Logitech's pedals with other >pedals one might have?
