LOGITECH Steering Wheels

[flyguy777300er]

Hi guys.

I'm having a weird problem with my momo wheel. It will for some unknown reason lose it's center. Meaning it wil no longer be in the middle when the car is going in a straight line.

No, it's not because I crashed and bent the car! Sometimes on the straight in Valencia the neutral point will change causing the car to move to the right. AQlso the force feedback effect will change center position. So in total the effect is that when you take your hands off the wheel the car will run straight but the wheel is off center.

Anyone have the same problem. And a solution?
It seems to be worse when you make the force feedback setting lower.

I don't have a momo (or a wheel for that matter) but I assume that calibrating your wheel will fix this.

It seems to be the natural Logitech problem. Just rubbishly make a very quick hard left, right and left and It should be centered again. Do it before you before you start driving.

Dunno if there is any other solution.

[James Johnson]

find the logitech Gaming software part look in start -> Programs -> Logitech -> Gaming Software then find out how to center the thing...

[Bram Hengeveld]

Here is the link to Wingman site. The download page there should solve a lot of problems with the MOMO. Look for offcentering patches.

I am sure this will help you out flyguy!

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I tried the quick left right left......

I had to reboot afterwards...... Guess I can steer quicker than my puter can sense....

To all the momo wheels user out there, don't be easily tempted to buy the g25 which not only 4 time more expensive but only offer little improvement from the momo set. From my personal experiences, momo wheel set is the best because you won't need a wheel that can turn 900° since u are not going to turn that much when racing right. plus in any racing game clutch no longer plays a big role in supercar since they all use f1 type paddle shifter. Another factor is that the momo wheels are cheap so if u broke it u can a new one no problem. this is just my suggestion so i'm open for any complaint

[hetfield2k]

Logitech give you a 2yr guarantee on the MOMO and the G25...be as rough as you wanna be - if you're within your guarantee you'll get a new one free of charge, I presume.
But you gotta think about AFTER that 2 year period - which wheel is gonna have the staying power? Sure, the MOMO's a nice piece of kit and you're right about not needing 900* movement but I've heard from numerous sources that the G25 is more sturdy and therefore better value. Whaddya think?

[Neutronblaster_64bit]

Well its all depend on the user taste. if u sleep on a bed made of money then go ahead. But if you are on a budget then momo wheel sure is a good choice. i wonder if ther is any other wheel manufacturer out there......hmmmmm

[Neutronblaster_64bit]

i also have the same problem as yours but was fixed by installing new drivers from the logitech website

[flyguy777300er]

Thanks guys. Installing the fix stig suggested solved the problem.

See you on track!

[Bram Hengeveld]

Okido, nice that it worked!

[Ivan Novi]

I know that many people is using the MOMO racing wheel when racing....
How do you map the keys on it?
Wanna shear some ideas?

Mine is: top left: look left
bottom left: look behind
top right: look right
bottom right: pit speed limiter

[Attila Domján]

yepp, i also map these things to the wheel, plus i have in the windscreen wiper as well, handy when you race in cockpit view.

[Peter Eriksson]

Anybody know where to buy it since mine are really f***ed up, i have cleaned it and sprayed it, tryed everything, but nothings help, so now i have to change them but i cant find out where to buy.

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Hey Vopee,

Pots? What do you exactly mean? The pedals?

[FOG-Racecarmike]

Yes the thing underneath them, I don't know where you can get them just get the metal ones.

[Peter Eriksson]

The little black thing that you place in the pedal and where the cables are attached to, i know i saw a link somewhere before but cant find it anymore.

[Attila Domján]

Before you buy new one (which i donno if you can....), make sure it is really the potenciometers that went wrong itself. The most usual problem known with the momo pedals, that these potis are moving in their spot in the pedal frame where they are sitting, which is resulting unreliable working, such as sudden peaks, or continuously stucked in brake, or brake/accelerator input cant reach the end position.

To fix this problem you dont need a new poti, just need to fix it to the housing of the pedal, when i had a Momo i super-glued it to the pedal frame seating, and all my problems were solved.

[Peter Eriksson]

you will actually not be able, but i did not needed to....

Before you glue it, you can try it out if the fixing is solving the problem, disassemble your pedals, hold the potis with your hand in a fix position, and try to move the pedals with your hand, and watch in Windows game controller if it is working properly.

But what is your particular issue with the potis, can you explain? Maybe i can give some advice better if you tell exactly what is your problem.

[Peter Eriksson]

Sometimes i get like 50% of the full range of the gas, but if i then take out the cable a number of times it will be fine again, little boring do everybody just pass me in the straights until i have had the time to solve it ;)

[Attila Domján]

hm, try to fix the potis, but first try with the hand like i wrote.

[Peter Eriksson]

Ok will do that...thx, but knock on wood, it had worked for 2 hole days now ;)
