Trouble with Logitech Momo wheel

Hi All. First post to this newsgroup. I've recently purchased a Logitech Momo Racing FF wheel (the newer one, black with a side shifter lever), and have gotten it going fine and had lots of enjoyment in a few games, including GPL (still trying to get those settings just right) and especially, of late, GTR! What a phenomenal package that is, all credit to its developers. Two games I would like to use this wheel with and just can not get it working are: Mobil 1 Rally Championship (this game seems to have a few names - I mean the Magnetic Fields one) and NASCAR Legends (just for fun). The one I really wish I could get to work is Rally Championship. I can seem to get the wheel itself to work, but not the pedals. I either get no response from them, or a totally screwy one (brakes always engaged, but pressing the brake pedal adds throttle, etc. etc.). I mean, it doesn't look to be rocket science to set this, but I just can't make it go. I'm using Windows XP, if that is at all a factor, though I can't particularly see why it would be. The game still operates normally on XP aside from the wheel problem. Any advice would be appreciated! I've hunted the Internet at large and haven't found any useful help for this problem. Thanks Scott.

Just a thought, have you tried setting the wheel as "combined axis"? Perhaps the game doesn't support split axis (I have the game but don't have it installed currently so I can't check). BTW, the combined setting is found under control panel>controllers (get into the momo settings page and look for a "combined" check box). -- Joe M.

I have an older MOMO, and it works fine with RC and WinXP. You do need the latest patch for the game though. I believe the last one was called "patch 6" or something. There were problems early on with wheels and pedals if I remember correctly. Split axis also works with the latest patch. http://rally2000.m4driving.sm/downloads/patch6.zip A good site for all manner of RC stuff is http://rally2000.m4driving.sm/

The magnetic fields Rally title, Mobil One Rally Championship(in the USA) or Championship Rallye 2000<I hope I have that right> should support your wheel and pedals. Make sure you have the offcial patch. You may need to use custome settings in the sim, but it 'shouldn't' be a problem. Joe probably is right in making sure you have the split axis setting working inside windows first. For N3 and just about any of the Papyrus sims, they have two input options. Usually the Logitech stuff uses Direct X. Other wheels that have trouble may work with the Papyrus Generic option. Good Luck. Let us know if it still is causing problems or if you get things working. dave henrie

I am using Mobil 1 with Windows XP Pro and the new MOMO. You have to set the pedals to combined axis for the game menus to recognise the wheel and pedals properly. You can do that easily in the Wingman Profiler. Marc "Scott" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PXs6a.707260$[email hidden]... > Hi All.

How did you guy's get Rally Championship to work? I installed it on my lovely fast new XP Pro pc but when I get to the in game menu screen I just can't control the menu at all. It's quite a fun game and I'd love to play it again Some Call Me Tim
