new logitech momo racing force?

i just saw one of thes at the stores this afternoon and wondered if anyone has bought one and can refer me to some reviews. http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/904.gif they look and feel really good. and the price is good too, about 1/2 that of the other momo, so i assume its just an upgraded LWFF gp. what i liked from my brief look was the shifter, the rubber wheel, and the pedals felt firmer. but i was wondering how it drives.

was the pedals the same ( just firmer) as the "old" momo ?

Pedals are completely different...look a lot like the MS pedals now. I too want to know how it feels/drives as the old MOMO's are on sale in anticipation of the new one.

I have one of those, but seeing as it's the first wheel I've ever owned, I don't think I could make a good comparison. It works OK, I think it's worth the money. Never having used force feedback before, I have gotten used to it really fast and it's great- I think it's gear and not pulley based. My only gripe is the software, the programming utility doesn't automaticly load profiles, I have to manually set them as the default. Maybe it's a Windows XP problem.

Where did you get it and how much?

I think it has _potential_, but I need to see one in person to check out the pedals, Logitech's long-time weak spot (including the expensive Momo). I heard a rumor that this one has optical pots, but I've been unable to verify this. -Larry "Obake" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3dc35d98$0$18871$[email hidden]... > > i just saw one of thes at the stores this afternoon and wondered if anyonehas > bought one and can refer me to some reviews. > > http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/904.gif > > they look and feel really good. and the price is good too, about 1/2 thatof > the other momo, so i assume its just an upgraded LWFF gp. > > what i liked from my brief look was the shifter, the rubber wheel, and the > pedals felt firmer. but i was wondering how it drives.

I heard that, too, which is great...but it's the quality of the rest of the internals that will count for the most. Pedal base looks small and cheap and light, especially as compared to original MOMO or the new TM Ferrari.

Good deal because Best Buy wanted the same price for the Logitech Formula Force GP. I wanted the stick shifter and the Momo just feels more solid.

Just a quick note! Got my new Momo force at weekend ... had up to then a TM Force wheel, must say I love it ... real smooth ... though it has no bearings I still reckon its great value for money ... My lap times in GPL and N2002 have already improved so I'm stoked ... seem to have more control and feel ... Happy Racing :) Muz

Probably this reply is a bit late for anybody to see it, but just in case anyone is still monitoring this thread, there is confirmation that the wheel uses an optical sensor in a post at the Wingman Team discussion board at http://www.wingmanteam.com/discus/, in the General Discussion section. That is also a good place to go for any other questions you have about the wheel. The development team monitors and actively participates in the board, and I have always found them to be very helpful and friendly.
