The Logitech Wingman Formula Force does indeed have 2 LEDs. Just like the Momo Force. It is the old red one. Not the GP or EX version. Take a look at this picture.
Just to confirm, it does NOT work on DFP. Every setting just makes the leds blimp off for just a millisecond with no really meaning to it, just makes it look like it has some power shortige. I hope someone comes up with a program to make it work on the dfp, it must be possible, because the lights do blink a little with no effect to the working of the wheel (as far as I can notice). I tried the light on and off mode to be sure, but it just kept doing the same thing.
I updated it a bit to version 1.1, you can now have two actions for each LED with logical XOR/OR operations. (So, for example you can have one LED work as a shift light and make it flash when the speed limiter is on). There's also a new actions for flashing low fuel light and a flashing shift light.
EXCELLENT WORK once again Kegetys. 1.1 is even better now.
I was going to suggest something like duel usage of 1 LED but you've beat me to it.
Really liking this mod. Can't wait what you'll do next whether it's another version of this or something else they're just brilliant.
Keep up the good work mate
The DeviceID can be found in Windows XP from the device manager, the wheel should be under Human Interface Devices. In the properties go to the details page and in some of the properties it says something like VID_XXXX PID_XXXX, the VID is the manufacturer ID (0x046D is Logitech) and the PID is the device ID. Then just convert the hexadecimal value into decimal with windows calculator for example. Note however that I have no idea if it will work with that wheel anyway.
For DFP the best bet might be for someone to ask the Wingman team if there is some HID command to disable the internal LED control from the wheel or the driver, which would be my best bet on why it doesn't work with it (It appears the command does turn the led on/off but the wheel will just immediately put it back to what it was)...
You can make a little batch file, it will open anything for you that you put in it, and it's not that hard to do. I used to have it for GTA, so it could start weather mod, GTA itself and Steering controllers.
It's primitive, but it does everything you need Google for it, you'll find it if you look right.
well, the " marks were screwing things up, but the file path to lfs is G:\Live For Speed\Actual Program\Live For Speed\LFS.exe , yet when i put this in it has a problem with the spaces. What should i do?
One moment: is it possible to count level of fuel by laps? I mean, is it possible to get consumption of fuel?
[%_of_fuel_left] / [consumption] = [laps_left] it is more usefull parameter then simple [%_of_fuel_left].
Anyway, thanks a lot!
It can be great to insert this mod into final S2 code!
Doesn't solve the problem of LFS minimising and need to open it again. Doesn't bother me tho, I now use the batch to start profiler, minimised, set lfs for high priority, that's all I need.
If you have the problem of spacing in your path name, just do this:
start "Live For speed" "Path"
The first brackets give it a name (so it doesn't confuse the name with the path, better give it a name, isn't important), then you enter the path also between brackets, and that should fix that problem.
