MOMO Wheel - MS Pedals

Man, I forgot to bring home my little "MS Pedal - MOMO Wheel" adapter! :( I was planning on testing it with GPL, F1 2002, NFS 5 and Netkar. Bummer! But I did try it at work with LFS. No problem whatsoever with the latest patch, but earlier versions was no go. Games with poor controller setup could be a problem because the two pedal sets doesn't output the same voltage range, and one of the axis will be reversed. The calibration seems to adjust to the new voltage range immediately, and it should be possible to invert the axis in the driver software if it's not possible to do in the game. I don't know why older LFS didn't work, but I'm looking forward to more testing. My modification is by the way "non destructive" in that no tampering is done to the MOMO or the MS pedal set. No soldering, no changing pot's. Just a small PCB with 4 connectors. You plug it into the MOMO, and connect the MS pedals, MOMO power supply and a regular USB cable. Should however my "state of the art" adapter turn out to be incompatible with some sim or game I enjoy, I will immediately start the development of version 2! Just thought some of you might be interested. There must be thousands out there just waiting for a cheap replacement for their inferior MOMO pedals. No? Cheers, Jone

I added a stiffer spring for the brake and I find the pedals are very comfortable and work really well. To each his own I guess.

How big are squash balls? are they bigger or smaller than a tennis ball and are they hollow? -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

I had a squash ball but thought that it felt 'mushy'. The stiffer spring worked well for me. "Jussi 'Igor' Koukku" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I think it comes down to personal preference... and for me it was easier to find a squash ball than a stiffer spring ;) -- - Igor -

A squash ball's diameter happens to be exactly same (or very close anyway) as the length of the original brake pedal spring of the MOMO pedals. Ie. it's smaller than a tennis ball. And yes, they are hollow, and come in different stiffnesses... I'd recommed the softest (can't remeber which color was the softest though). -- - Igor -

GPL, F1 2002, NFS5, LFS and Netkar all worked OK. I suspect I must have messed up something else when earlier LFS's didn't work. This is how the MOMO and MS padals are wired.
