This is not good (for me) momo wheel problem

andyhui01 · October 22nd, 2006, 5:14 AM

I was trying to get some practice in FE Green just now and I noticed I had a funny acceleration and I could see the green stick at the corner of my eye flickering, so I pressed the clutch to see if it was at full and I saw that it was about 3-5mm lower than the clutch line.

, so I checked the settings and wanted to recalibrate, and I found out that my brake was slightly engaged, this explains my lack of speed on SO Classic, I thought to myself it was because I couldn't take the right line in the dip which resulted in my unbelievably slow speed down the straights, but I think I found the reason.

I know you guys had this problem before but I can't seem to find the thread where someone posted the guide on how to fix it, I'll give it a shot, if I'm unsuccessful, its the Logitech G25 here I come images/smilies/biggrin.gif

, but I just have to check my bank account first images/smilies/lol.gif

the regular logitech pedals suck big time...
i guess you might be able to fix it by taking it apart and just putting it together again, but that only takes a month and the problem is back. there are numerous fixes for the pedals...some people use tape, some do other things to it...just search google and you will find a lot of info about it...

i have made my own fix, however, but you will need a spare set of microsoft sidewinder pedals to do it. it does work perfetcly though!

I've had the slightly engaged brake problem with an old version of Logitech's Gaming Software.
The faulty gas pedal is a mechanical problem. Here's the fix:

In my case, I only had to do this twice, and it's been about a year since the last time I did it.

Yeah, mine commonly gets stuck with the brake slightly on and such. I just recalibrate and that fixes it mostly.

Oooh, I've been fighting with this forever. I re-did the tape-mod at least 10 times images/smilies/smile.gif

Now I just take DXTWEAK2 and force deadzone, so even if they do get de-calibrated, I'll still be able to use full throttle.
