I've had some great races on Digital Madness's FOX BL server, and on Spdo's server. Shaved 35ms off my PB today there infact with 22 cars on the track.

Will check out your server in the morning, dunno how you plan to keep an admin there all the time though. Gotta get some sleep sometime Unless you've teached monkeys how to kick wreckers like Dendy..:P

How did you convince Logitech to send you new pedals? I phoned them and told them I'm having issues and described them, but they wouldn't send me replacements

Gentlefoot, really nice explaination, didn't know what trail breaking was or what it did before this thread thanks. I have been doing this with some cars already without realising..guess I learnt the hard way

If you want my opinion, the pedals are rubbish. On my set, the brake pedal has a slight amount of play before there's any spring action, the throttle pedal feels too light, and I hit the famous "pedals cutting out" problem in less than a week! Their only redemming features are the carpet grabbing system, and they're comfortable to rest your feet on between races

But the wheel is absolutely brilliant Very fun, and configurable. I use it in conjunction with my MS sidewinder precision pedals, this combo has knocked easily over a second off my PB's accross the board compared to my old sidewinder wheel (non FF). Its a lot more fun now as well. I've been experimenting with using the DFP throttle pedal as a clutch pedal which is quite fun.

If you hit problems with the DFP pedals you could try some MS sidewinder ones, the wheel + pedals go for around £3 on ebay, and the pedals are solid units that last years and years, nice spring tension too.

Mine says: Input: 230v ~ 50Hz
Output: 24v ___ 750mah

The connector type is one of them round things (approx 5mm outside diamater), a lot of products use the type.

If your getting the US PSU, you could just use a US -> UK plug adapter, they cost like 50p at my local Tesco.

I used a MS Sidewinder (Non FF) for the last 2 years, this month I brought a DFP, and love it, but not the pedals. The throttle doesn't feel springy enough and the pedals started cutting out. So I hooked my sidewinder back up to use the pedals, with my DFP wheel. Works well in every game I've tested so far, and for me its a very pleasing combo, because the MS pedals are really nice units.

So maybe you could do the same thing..maybe even find a DFP where someone has broken pedals?

I purchased a DFP as a "reconditioned" unit a couple of weeks ago and am very pleaseed, but the last couple of days the throttle input has started acting up - if i go from full throttle to say 20% throttle sometimes it won't register anything and it'll go to 0 throttle, only happens sometimes but its very annoying.

So first I contacted Logitech, explained whats happening, was given a ref. number, and told they can't replace the pedals but to return them to where I brought them, and the online shop I brought them from doesn't want me to return them, instead to seek a replacement from Logitech. Running around in circles

Can anyone advise me on how to obtain a replacement set of pedals from Logitech, or how I could fix mine?

Thanks!

way outa date, but hey, when it won't run a game I o/c and turn the fans up till it does All my money goes to RC racing these days.

OK Thanks guys, starting to get the hang of it a bit now What do you use for FF strength ingame?

Also, is there a way to use the shift paddles and the shift stick? So I can use either pending on if I'm on a corner or straight bit.

OK I was just using 540, I'll try 720 now.

What settings ingame should I use? In the logitech panel I've turned everything to 0 except effects which is on 100%, seperate pedals enabled (I never knew that could make so much difference to FWD's..).

My DFP turned up in the mail today Nice unit, although its very very different to drive than my old non-FF sidewinder.

Can anyone recommend some good settings for the forcefeedback stuff? I've been having a play with them but can't get it feeling nice without getting very twitchy.

Make the hat a colour other than white and you have a sale

I have a two kart tracks within 10 mins drive of my house, but I really don't want to pay the extortinate amounts they ask. Went karting in wales once, that was really fun

Used to love the old virtual kart game when I was a kid, found it really fun but I was only about 8 at the time so have no idea how realistic it was. I'd love a new, good kart game. I think LFS will eventually get some (even if its in the form of a mod..one day), that would be brilliant.

I'd love to be able to do this. The only sim I know of that can do this well is Flight Sim 2004 which lets you put GPS, dials, even the whole dash on one screen, and wide open view on the other. I think a setup with main screen is normal, second screen has mini left and right views taking up half the screen, and a rear view taking up the bottom half would be cool.

Nice looking track man. I personally loved the "Banger Racing" server, haven't seen the other one so I'll go and check it out now. Spent sooo much time on the original server though, great fun and a brilliant way to relax.

DFP it is. Helps that its cheaper than the Momo red, and I don't like the sound of the black one.

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the replies so far..leaning towards the DFP I think..which wheel would be more reliable out of the mono red or DFP? I race daily and my driving isn't brilliant so it'll get lots of abuse.

I know this is a topic that has been gone over and over, but if you had a choice of a Momo red, black or DFP wheel, which one would you pick? Its to replace my MS Sidewinder non-FF. I've read a lot about the pedals failing on all of them, which is a pain because my sidewinder ones have never given me a problem.

Overall I think the momo red looks really nice and solid, but I really like the sound of 900 degrees rotation, and having a sequential shifter. So I'm really torn.

Thanks.
