Im reluctant to do that mate. Do you think its the adapter that's the problem or the circuitbard in the wheel as i could try another adapter.



According to the guys T&C's i think i have to pay P&P to send the wheel back!

Who do you recommend sending it back with as Royal Mail means i have to walk down the town with a giant box.

How do i check the pins?

Quote from SparkyDave :

Check for bent or retracted pins in the connector, I have seen this prob before.
Also you are screwing the retaining thumbscrews in at the sides of the connector arnt you? this should stop any looseness and pull the connector in tightly. but check the pins first.

SD.

Those of you that own momos. do the LED's come on when you plaug it on or when the pc is turned on. What i don't understand is, m ycomputer says the device cannot be recognised so that's picking it up. When i go on the logitech profiler it can't pick up my wheel.


When i plug it in to the USB connection it says that it does not recognise the device and that it has malfunctioned.

All the wires are definately in the right place and i can't have set it up wrong on the pc as it wouldn't even let me do it lol!

i'll try again tomorrow

No he has great feedback and is a power seller and i have emailed him teling him about the problem. It took nearly 2 weeks getting here and it's going to charge me a fortune to send it back.

I can't be bothered to trall through ebay for the number as i'm slightly pissed off now but heres a picture of a momo

http://i70.photobucket.com/alb ... tobukit125/momo-wheel.jpg

I have done it before but don't own a soldering iron. I have emailed the guy on ebay and hopefully i should get a new one. Would a new power cord do or will i need a new wheel?

It's off Ebay but the guy has a really good reputation.

I have plugged in the power cord but it seems quite loose at the back and it wont go in any further. It must be this that's the problem. Should i send it back??

MY Momo was just delivered ( i bought it off ebay) and i have plugged everything in. When i turn the pc on the wheel moves but no LED's appear. I have also installed the logitech racing software and it can't pick my wheel up.


Pleas ehelp as i'm desperate to get it working!

and no LED's are lit on the wheel

I just got my Momo wheel which i got off ebay. I have plugged everything in but when i went to install it it said that it couldn't detect my wheel? When i plugged it in first the wheel moved to the centre so the power must be working.

what can i do?>

Quote from Setu :

I race superkarts in real life. I race LFS in the evenings, when I am not stripping the kart or putting children to bed. I have raced all over Britain on the long circuits, (Silverstone, Brands Hatch etc), within iches of other races at up to 150 mph. I (almost) never crash on the track, and I have won championships.

In LFS I crash frequently, and then someone insults me.

It seems that I have frequently been criticised recently in LFS races for wiping people out, when they are trying MAD manouevres.
For instance, overtaking through a chicane, (but not down the inside of the first corner, down the inside of the second). Going around the outside of someone through the first part of a chicane, and hoping to get down the inside of the second part of the chicane does not work. It never has and it never will, unless the car you are overtaking has only three wheels, and is meant to have four. If you try this in real life, you must be a nutter with a deathwish.

I am sorry, I am not looking in my mirrors for nutters with a deathwish. They try mad manoeuvres and then blame me. For instance having their nose level with my rear wheel when I turn in, but not lifting off. For instance, when I am being lapped, and I am keeping to the outside of the track and braking a little early, to give the leader a chance to get by down the inside, trying to pass me on the outside on the grass!

There is a general rule in racing, which is that the corner is only yours if you are level with the driver you are trying to overtake. This is not a 'made up' rule, it is common sense - if you aren't level, HE CAN'T SEE YOU. Remember that in a real car/kart, he is probably pulling three 'g's, changing gear, coping with a handling problem, wishing his neck didn't hurt so much and hoping that 'that' noise is not another expensive engine problem. He is not looking in his mirrors which vibrate so badly he can't see in them anyway, for your do-or-die attempt to retake 23rd place. In LFS he is probably talking on the phone, listening to some music and pouring a glass of wine as he tries to learn this new track.

Why are standards so bad? Because mostly the racers don't have to pay for crashed cars, and they can't get hurt, and they don't have to face anyone afterwards? Because nobody cares? Because there are lots of nine year olds who think that finishing fourth is too dull? I don't know.

So I am timid, and therefore slow, right? Sometimes. However, I nearly always finish, and I do OK through the first corner melee, and rarely take anyone else off through my own fault. I often start 10th, and finish the first lap 4th. This could be useful for the quicker drivers, so how can this be done?

I would suggest a few tips. Please comment on them, or add your own. Just don't call me names anymore, when you crash into me in some insane manoeuvre:

1) When following a slower car, pull aside as you enter the braking zone. He might be going slower because he brakes earlier.
2) Try to be slow in, quick out of corners. That way you overtake down the straights. Overtaking on the straights is good. Being alongside in a flat-out chicane is bad, unless you really know and trust the other driver, and you probably don't.
3) To finish first, you must first finish. The first two corners on cold tyres are taken much slower than normal. Even if the track is empty. More so when it's full of spinning idiots.
4) If there are yellow flags, assume that there just could be an accident around the corner.
5) If you see an accident, slow down a bit. The driver will probably move. Passing him at 135mph with 2 inches to spare might be risky. It's your race you will lose.
6) Try to be right on the inside going into the first corner. Go a little slower if necessary. Cars spin outwards, therefore you can get by down the inside.
7) Remember net lag! You and the driver along side are reacting about a second apart. You only look like you are racing together.
8) Give him more room than you would on the road. He probably needs it.

If you want to see how a real "I might die if I get this wrong" driver is, see Youtube and search for "Isle of man in a superkart". How many of you would have followed for several laps like he did, looking for the right moment to get by? Of course you wouldn't, you would have rammed him, and then blamed him afterwards for not looking in his mirrors, right?

Setu.

All of the above 'him's probably apply equally to 'her's. It's just impossible to tell on the internet.

Just out of interest. HAve you ever raced at Croft?

I can't understand everything your saying mate. Could you make it a bit more readable?


If your 16 you should be able to stay in the house by yourself. Just tell her that you don't want to go with her and would rather spend time alone.

I have found that Windows Defender is quite good.

ITV present it and i do believe theres a replay later on.

I want it!

Cheers

how do you change your in game name?

<---------------


Heres my best effort

LOL give it another hitting!

I'd love to do that.

Which AVG would you recommend as theres quite a few differant options.

So is he windows firewall ok to use?
