thnx

What are your wheel settings in Control Panel > Game Controllers?

well its ok and i have the Enable Force Feedback box check and all of them are 100%....are the lights suppose to be on at all times cuz right now its not im wondering if its my adapter

By adapter do you mean the AC adapter? That seems unlikely. If you're getting any power at all then it's working fine. Either the wheel is getting proper current or it isn't.

Make sure the plug connecting the pedals to the wheel is in firmly. Then plug in the USB cable to the PC. When you do that the wheel should turn fully in both directions, and one light should come on. When you start a game, the other light should come on.

The settings shouldn't be all at 100%. Overall Effects strength should be 101-105%. Spring effects should be 0%. Damping effects should be 0%. Centering spring should be disabled. Centering spring strength should be 0%.

thnx for that but i just looked at some other problems and it seems that the AC adapter im using is only 12v the logitech forums i was searching on says it needs 24v not 12v so this might be the problem

btw does anyone know a store where i can get an adapter for my MOMO? thnx

Isn't it in its box? BTW I guess other adapters can also be suitable. I mean...Discman, shave machine... But maybe I'm wrong, but you can give it a go.

lol i just got the wheel by itself including the pedals and no box but ya im using a 12 v adapter that came with it

You can't use 12V, it needs to be 24V or it won't work. Try finding one at your local RadioShack, they have tons of AC adapters. Here are the specs:

Input: AC 100-120V 50-60Hz (imo this is a typo as 50Hz would be useless at 120V)
Output: DC 24V 0.75A.

Make sure the adapter has those exact values for the output, or else it might not work, or you might even fry your wheel if there's too much current.

sweet....now my dad is off to buy it but i got another problem about the wheel....it aint turning a full 270 degrees it wouldnt even reach 180 degrees...it can only go around like 160 degrees...does anyone have a solution for this problem?

It's 60Hz AC. Each cycle has a negative and a positive state, giving 120Hz effective. It'll be fine.

I think you're misunderstanding.

First, the rotation of the wheel is 240 degrees, not 270. Second, that's 240 total, not 240 in each direction. The wheel has physical stops at full lock, and the odds of the wheel being manufactured incorrectly with these stops in the wrong places are virtually zero.

Your wheel is fine.

o ok gotcha sorry i gotta study more on that but yes im a lucky guy cuz my dad's friend gave it to me for FREE so ya i saved nearly around $80-$100 USD cant beat a free MOMO in mint condition(well except the adapter)

Thanks professor, but next time think before you type. It's 60Hz, that's 60 cycles per second (definition of frequency). A cycle includes a positive and negative state. And I said 120V not 120Hz, which is achieved at 60Hz. 50Hz is for the Europeans. This is where I think there's a typo since the input can only be between 100-120V, but in Europe (at 50Hz) they get 220V, which would burn the adapter. Do you understand now?

a free momo PLUS an LFS S2 licence

I understand just fine, I just misread what was written. No need for the attitude though.
