Hi everyone,

First post here, I've been playing the hell out of the LFS demo, and while I enjoy the mouse steering more that I thought I would, the throttle and brake makes the game all but unplayable. I can barely race the GTI, anything beyond that is just hopeless.

I want to get the full game, but not before I get a wheel, and therein lies the problem.

I am working in Japan for a couple years, and here the Logitech Driving Force Pro is the LogiCool GT Force Pro.

Do you think it will work the same? Same drivers, no other problems?

Also, Are there any races hosted in Japan? I can imagine that a full ocean (or russia) between myself and the race server would make for some mighty laggy play.

I saw that when I was visiting China, it should be the same thing, but you might want to check the warranty because DFP pedals break for sure after 90 days of use MAX.

ha, first i hear 8 months, then 5, then 90 days. at this rate, they will be dead moments out of the box.

Rumors say that the Rev.B00 pedals do not share this problem... so I'll keep my fingers crossed (status: 30 days of heavy use and no problems)

4 months of heavy use and no problems at all here

Mine lasted 5 month of heavy use....

Well, I'm thinking about picking one up - it's tough here though, I have no idea if I'm getting revision A or B, and I don't speak enough Japanese to really hammer out the details of the warantee. Maybe I should contact Logitech in the States and ask some questions.

Anyone know about Japanese race servers?

i had mine for almost a year and it's fine. i dont know if its revision A or B but the "problems" with these pedals are usually easily fixable. like the constant spikes in the pedal inputs usually only occurs after i don't use them for a long time and im guessing it's just a dirty potentialmeter or something, i just quickly press and release the pedals a couple times and that usually cleans it out.

unless you guys are talking about the pedals completely dying then that's another thing which i havent experienced yet. i'd like to know the reason why the pedals would stop working suddenly with only a couple months usage because now-a-days there's this common belief that dfps have crappy pedals even though i've been using them fine for almost a year.

EDIT: i just realized i went off topic, i think the wheel should work fine since the hardware is the same it shouldnt make any difference when using english software with it.
