Logitech FF Wheel Problem

2 Questions... 1) I just bought the Logitech Wingman Formula Force Feedback Wheel and Pedal set. When I go into the profiler, all the buttons and pedals test ok. The wheel turns during the test feedback ground section, but the wheel turns hard to the right and stops after each ground test is done. Weird. The wheel turning test in the upper left of the Profiler does not register my manual turning of the wheel. WHY!! 2) I am running Indycar Racing II by Papyrus (Sierra) under DOS and Windows 95. My wheel is totally inoperative. Is it because all Windows applications shut down (including the wheel controls) to run the game?

I can play IRC2 under Win98. You just have to configure the LWFF in the Logitech software that came with the wheel ( make a profile for ICR2 ). Or better download the latest software form Logitech.

My first LFFW is somewhere on a truck between the warehouse and me at the moment. Guess I'll be posting here with questions soon. :) As for your second, I can help you there, sort of. The answer is, it can't be helped. The digital input of the LFFW is not supported by ICR2. Never will be I'm afraid. You are, as they say on the streets, "Shit out of luck."

Ups, i missed the point of your post. You just have to tell IRC2 not to go to clean DOS to run. With editing the Indycar.pif you can set Disable detecting Windows or something like that and uncheck the MS-Dos mode ( or something like that ). In other words you have to persuade IRC2 to run under Windows instead of shutting Windows down and running in plain DOS. Borut P.S. I'm not in Win98 right now so i can't give you the exact instuctions regarding setting the MS-Dos command prompt. Just hang on awhile.

Darrin, sounds like a hardware fault. I had a similar effect when reassembling my wheel (wrongly). In my case the poti wasn't fitted into the wheel shaft properly. Bring back the wheel and exchange. Jens BTW: Quality control seems to be unknown at Logitech these days. On Tue, 4 Apr 2000 19:52:32 -0400, "Darrin Lucas" <[email hidden]> wrote:
