Hey guys

Ok, i decided to play a little LFS again after seeing Le Mans (who dident? :P)

And then i got my old wheel back, its a logitech Formula force ex.

I got it to work easy, installed the driver and all that. But i just cant get the power on. Im using the Logitech adapter 24v wich i assume is THE ONE to use for this wheel. At least i dont think i have an adapter for any other logitech-stuffs.

But i just cant get the power/force feedback on, any idea? Im getting kinda pissed on this

The wheel works perfectly in game - its just the power/feedback i struggle with

If anyone have a wheel like this (the red one btw), please take a picture of the adapter, and let me know what the adapter looks like

Also if you could write down the info from the adapter, i would be very greatfull.

The info from my adapter:

MODEL: ADP-18LB C LPS
Input: AC 200-240v ~0.4A 50-60 HZ
Output: 24v 0.75A

I hope someone can help me to get this to work


Edit:

After some more research i did find the P/N number for the adapter: 190211-A030

My adapter is named A110 at the end - so i might have the wrong adapter in my hands.. for christs sake

I wonder that is 0.75A really enough for force feedback? Anyone?

Mm, have u got test instrument? If yes, then test it - how many volts are coming out from the output side. On the instrument - should be V(ohm)mA and V-- 200m setting.

At 24V, 0.75A should be plenty. That comes out to be 18W.

Does the spring works? Or maybe forcefeedback is enabled in lfs

see if FF is on in logitech profiler and lfs. i havent had anything like this tho even after 2 years

You've got the right power adapter.
If the green lamp on the wheel lights up when the wheel is connected it receives power from the power adapter.
As suggested the FF may be switched off in either the Logitech driver or in LFS.
I also reccomend the latest Logitech drivers (5.02) since they resolve an issue with random FF jerks when using the Formula Force EX wheel.

I have the same wheel. Had it in the box for 2 years and now the adapter is missing. I have the same problem you do, EVERYTHING works fine but the FFB, so I have bought an adapter with exactly the same input and output. The adapter has a green light but the wheel should also have a green light, which is still not working. The ffb doesnt work either.

P.S: I have enabled FFB in BOTH the game and the wheel's drivers.
