Did you get the software from here?
https://support.logit...-feedback-wheel
is the lgs510 32 or 64 bits that you want.

Yes mate, I did.  But when installed, it cannot see the wheel, so I can't adjust it.  And I can't adjust it in Windows 7 because there is no split axis option.  :?

If you RF brake you don't need to separate them. Drive like they did in 67, and your life is good again. :)

Except you won't be able to H&T, so skip that part. ;)

Pete, I do RFB, but even if I assign (say) braking to another button, it feels as if the accelerator has about 50% power, even if I calibrate it in GPL and Windows.  Just tried a lap around Monza, and it sounds like the car is stuttering, running out of fuel.

Make sure that you have the right car class.  In GPL > Training mode > Track selection menu - make sure that it has the bottom class (F1 for the 67 cars) selected.

Grrr.... downloaded Logitech Gaming Software, and it says it can't detect a controller.  Yet GPL can.

And since you got to here, check that all the axes and buttons are working properly.

Hi Bob, no they're not - the split axis thing seems to be messing up the throttle.

Went back into the loft and found another wheel!  I seem to recall buying this one to replace the Momo Racing.  It's a Logitech Driving Force.  I am able to get the throttle to work properly, but not to split the axes.  Little by little.... I WILL return!!

[edit] But Logitech can't detect it.

Anybody else experienced this problem?  Or do I need to buy another wheel?  What wheels work with Windows 7?

I’m pretty sure that the Logitech MOMO will work with a computer and with GPL, so I’m 95% certain there’s a solution.

To start with you indicate that since you can see it in Game controllers, the computer recognizes the wheel – or is it just recognizing it as a generic device?

You say it’s a PS2 wheel – how does it connect to the computer?  I’m pretty sure that the MOMO Racing and MOMO Force will work with both PS2 and the computer.  Which one do you have?

For the driver, I use the lgs510_x64.exe (mine is a 64 bit OS – make sure that you match whether it’s 32 or 64 bit).  It says it works with the Logitech MOMO Racing Force Feedback Wheel and the MOMO Force.

Hi Bob, I'm now using the MOMO Force.  As I said, somewhere lost in the mists of time, I now recall buying it due to some issue with the Racing, and it worked fine (under XP).  Connectivity-wise, they are identical - pedals plug into wheel base via 7-pin connector, wheel plugs into PC via USB.

I have installed the lgs510 software, too.  Nothing doing.  Windows shows the wheel as a console-type controller, but recognises it as a Logitech Driving Force.  The accelerator now seems to work ok, but I have to use a button for braking, because I still can't split the axes.

    Hi everyone,

    It's my first post, here. Im already registered many years ago, but its my first time.

    I already searched in this forum and many sites and I dont have any solution.

    A great friend of mine change from W XP to W7 and we dont have any way to make the GPL work. When you try to go to the cockpit and run always the GPL crash to desktop. We try many many ways admin permissions several intalations etc etc with the same result: when you try to go to driva the program crash to desktop. Although he can see the replays.

    He have a ATI graphic card.

    If someone have any idea, it'll be helpfull.

    Regards
    Darío

    You need to install GPL with the gpl installer 1.07.
    Vanilla GPL disk will not work on win 7.

    I have win 7 64bits and with installer 1.07, GPL runs since the first start.
