Anyone with a PS2 Logitech Wingman Driving force, help me?

Can you test the wheel with latest wingman drivers for PC, to see if it works?. It says its got support for the wheel now on PC, but i want to know if the extra keys on the wheel works too?. Would be great if they did!

If you're asking if the LWFF works with a PS2 I can confirm that indeed it does.

It's the Force Feedback one. It is red, yes. Is it old? I suppose, though I think it's the newest one out. To get the wheel to work I just plugged the USB into the PS2. So far I've only tried it on two games-- Gran Turismo and World Rally Championship. Those are the only two racing titles I own for the PS2.

If so then the answer is yes. The latest version of the wingman software (down loadable from Logitech) allows control of everything; all buttons and split or combined axis. I have had no problems with it in GPL, F1 2001 & 2002, Nascar Season 2002, LFS and of course GT3. Elrikk

I've seen two versions of the driving force wheel. One is the older one, the one that came out when GT3 was new; I have this one and I can verify that it works great. The computer thinks it's the LWFF red wheel. I also have a LWFF red wheel (which I picked up later for less than half of what I paid for the Driving Force) and the PS2 thinks it's the Driving Force wheel. Electronically, they're identical. There is the newer Driving Force, though, that has PS2-style buttons. It looks and feels cheaper to me; and I thought I'd heard that it wasn't PC compatible anymore. Best bet for dual compatibility: Get a red wheel from eBay.

Do you have any problems with shifting and turning at the same time? I read the customer reviews on this page, http://tinyurl.com/1umn, and they seem to have this problem. Maybe it's only with PS2. I'm thinking about getting the LWFFGP, but if the PS2 Driving Force works on PC, I might go for that, since it seems to have more buttons. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

I've read about that too but I can't help you with this one. The reason I use the Driving Force in the first place is that I need to use the wheel mounted paddles (normally used as shifters) as the accelerator and brake because of my physical limitations. (can't use pedals) So I drive mostly an automatic transmission. I have not noticed any problems when acceleratng or braking in a turn but then again if you are in a situation where you have to brake or accelerate while near full lock you have more problems then just a glitch in the equipment. ;o) Elrikk

I've just noticed something, the Driving Force doesn't come with pedals? How are the paddle shifters? They look better than the ones on the LWFFGP. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

Actually my Driving Force did come with pedals. I bought it about 6-8 weeks ago so maybe we are talking different models here. The paddles are really great for analog stuff (accelerator and brakes) but probably some of the 10 other switches ( + D Pad ) would be better for gear switching. There are 2 positioned perfectly for thumb use. The throw length of the paddles might be a bit long. I originally bought a Thrustmaster Modena 360 (again because it has analog paddles ) but kept breaking the paddle springs (about 2 weeks of use). Went throught three of them (on warranty) before giving up and getting the DF. Much happier now. Elrikk

There are 2 red Logitech wheels. The LWFF has a red rubberized wheel (soft/squishy) that is ENTIRELY red and has lever type paddle shifters (not just buttons). Another noticeable feature is that it's not "direct" USB, it uses a serial to USB adapter (the likely culprit for PS2 failure). This model has never been reported to work with the PS2. The later model known as the Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP, which is known to work with the PS2, has red accents (mostly red), poor paddle shifter buttons, and is ONLY USB. Which exactly do you have? Being specific is significant since you're apparently the first to report that the "OLD" LWFF works with a PS2. I'm guessing you have the later model and didn't perform any LWFF miracles? ;0) -- Joe M.

Thanks for your answer!. I was gonna get a new LWFFGP yesterday, when i noticed that no stores sells them anymore around here :( They only have the Momo (which pedals are much worse then the LWFFGP, but superiour wheel), and the LW Driving force, which costs 3 times less btw then the momo. Now i will have enough keys too on the wheel for some years ahead :D The only thing i diskliked which was much worse then the LWFFGP is the paddleshifter. WHY did they remove the buttons for teh shifting?, those paddles stinks imo. I loved that it was buttons :/.. maybe i can make a hybrid with my old LWFFGP and the new driving force.. taking the backside from my old wheel, and the new front ..
