I bought a DFP 3 months ago and the only trouble i have with it is the accelerator pedal loses calibration sometimes (it shows 80% accelerator instead of 100%) so the solution for me is to unplug the pedals from the wheel and plug them in again and they will show 100% accelerator

Quote from whitey6272 :DFP is for ps2 though, or Pc aswell.. well obviously it works with PC as you lot proved, but do you need an adapter of some sort?

No, all it is is a normal USB plug. Thats it.
Does that mean my PC wheel saitek r220 would work in my ps2? its also USB

umm i dont know. i would just try it, but thats me.
Although I really don't think it'll work, just try it... Or anyone can tell if the PS2 handles incoming signals different than PC's... Shrug
Trying it nowThumbs up

The PS2 uses standard USB ports, so it isn't any different. Though I _think_ you might need the drivers for the wheel. Could be wrong.
I ve also had spiking problems with my ones...but alittle bit of sticky tape and the problem is fixed hehe...there is nothing sticky tape cant fix.

Duct tape could do it better

It's funny but my MS wheel is about 2-3 years old right now (maybe a tad older), and I have had 0 problems with it. The thing was made forever ago too. I guess they don't build them like they used to :P

probably not.

Since there are no drivers for the PS2, the game developers must provide the drivers with the game.
It may work with some games if you are lucky, but i doubt it.

A good example is the Logitech Momo. It worked in GT4 Prologue, but not in GT4. That's a marketing move for sure, because of the DFP/GT4 deal. They had to make some effort to deactivate the Momos, since they worked in GT4P already.

long story short: try it! Smile
My DFP said revision B, but once the pedals started playing up and I opened them up they were obviously REV A - tiny plastic white pots. Lasted only a few months.

I complained to Logi and they sent me a new pedal set. I opened them up and these had the big metal pots. Much better, but they still need cleaning every couple of months.

Another thing to be aware of, the way the drivers (4.60) read the calibration means that occasionally the data will reset and suddenly you will get full brake at the slightest touch of the pedal. You then need to push the pedal throughout it's entire range to get full travel once again. Not fun when you're approaching a hairpin at 160mph.
