Quote from Minimaxman :

Just wondering if any FFEX owners out there are in the same boat as me. Basically, the problem I have is as follows:

I use the wheel for a couple of months, when the wheel section begins to come loose and wobble about. It gets to the point where it does it so much the steering inputs are output incorrectly and it feels absolutely horrid to use. I take it apart to find the 4 main screws that screw the actual wheel into the barrel have all wobbled loose. I loctite them up and re-tighten them, only for it to come loose again a few days later. Further dis-assembly of the wheel shows that the cylinder-holes in the barrel the 4 screws go into have all cracked / broken, meaning the screws can't tighten up. The first time this happened we managed to get Logitech to send us a new replacement, but now it's happened again on the replacement wheel.

I don't think I'm particuarly ham-fisted with it, and think it's just a stupid design fault. Anyone other owners out there who have had the same problem?

It's a good wheel for the money, but there are also a couple of other problems - the paddle buttons on the back of the wheel eventually worked intermittently, and the brake pedal snaps off. This brake pedal problem has been the same design as the pedals on the old FF GP I used to own. I would have thought, the EX being the new version, they would have fixed it. Obviously not.

Any input would be great.

Merry Christmas!

It is happening the same on my new formula force ex. There was a very slight wobbly barely noticeable, i could only feel it in straights, but i have noticed it is getting worse, now i feel it every time i turn, it is really bad because now it is interfering on my driving. :sorry:

I am building my first PC for gaming. Last sunday i discovered the LFS game, community and i am already sold, in fact i am already after a decent wheel. The two obvious choices are momo and Driving force pro.
THe design and touch&feel of the momo seem superb, at the other hand the DFP offers the 900º feature.
COnsidering that the DFP is not officially a PC game (as far as i know) and thatthe 900º is obviously the next step, dont you think that Logitech will implement the 900º on the momo soon.

That is what is stopping me of buying a momo. I have no PS2 and i dont fancy the idea of using a wheel on an unsuported plattaform.

If i choose to wait... can you recomendme a not too expensive but decent wheel with force feedback? The Logitech force GP maybe?

This is my first post on this forum, happy to find you all. Forgive my crappy english
