I use the Logitech Black Momo. I was gonna get a DFP, but the wheel size and the button arrangement scared me off. Plus the pedal design is the same as the black MOMO. If you just HAVE to have that 700°, do you actually use it?
I actually prefer the 270° or whatever turning I have over the more "realistic"
feel the DFP has to offer.
Even though I have posted numerous times in the RSC forums about how much I can't stand the quality of logitech's pedals, I'm gonna do a 180° and praise them
See, after playing numerous Racing games/sims, I realized something....
Us LFSers are very demanding on our equipment. In an arcady type game,
the small loss of calibration is seldom noticed, but in LFS, if the pedals are
only giving you 98% output, it WILL cost you the race you're in.
The average Nascar player or NFSU player doesn't experience this loss due to
aids provided in game. Plus the Nascar guys just don't need the performance
levels we do
If you're willing to sacrifice the Warranty, there is an easy way to get at the
internal workings of the pedals and get the most performance value out of
them. Unfortunately, I have to do this about every 3 months, yet my pedal
are ALWAYS better than what they were when I first got them a couple a
years ago (lol I should be OK til November
)
Well to be honest, what I'm getting at is there should be a sticky about pedal maintenance (not just a link to Mozno and that lamer wingteam patch)
Uhh after almost 2 years of dealing with this issue I've narrowed down the problem of my pedals to a single item. Next time I have to overhaul my pedals
I'm gonna test this theory I have.
I think the pedal problem is not in the Pot position or the play of the pedals. I think it's in the little deal that turns the pot itself. When you take the pedals apart, you'll notice that the pot turns when you're holding the pedal.
I've felt certain amount of roughness in this "turning". rough enough that it
will shift the pot around a bit and mess with efficiency when it "sticks"
In fact, if you were to take my pedals apart and a new logitech model
apart, you'd see radical differences.
I removed all the grease (dust magnets) and have the pedal shafts covered in teflon tape. I have the pot's held even more firmly in place with sponges. I use a spray cleaner for electronics to get rid of the build up in the turning parts between the shaft and the pot.
I have this silicone fluid lubricant, I use it on my guns as it only takes a little bit and it's high heat resistant. My theory is if i use this fluid in the area where the pedal shaft hooks up with the pot, I can cut my maintenance time time to once or twice a year instead of every 3 months........will let y'all know
as soon as I get the nerve to try it
ooops I guess I went waaaay waaay off topic. I'm sorry, but I think
there ought to be a sticky on pedal maintenance no matter what brand you use.
