I've just started playing LFS again after a few years, and have it running pretty well using Parallels on my MacBook Pro, FPS isn't amazing so I might experiment with Bootcamp, see if it's faster. I have my G25 working fine with Parallels though, which is very satisfying as it doesn't work properly on OS X.

Wow, I've installed the realistic reflections and the menus, and they are beautiful I'm gonna get the rest of the stuff later. One question, is the garage background available yet? I thought it would be in the menu pack but it seems not.

Thanks for your hard work

Quote from STROBE :

Doesn't matter - if it's bought new from a UK retailer then you have a 12 month warranty. Just beause that retailer sold it to you via ebay doesn't dissolve them of their responsibilities. Afaik.

It'd be different if you bought it from a private seller advertising it as new/unused, because the 12 month warranty would have started when they bought it.

Really? Hmm that's useful to know.. but I would expect them to want proof it was bought from a retailer, and anyway I suspect it may be more than 12 months since purchase anyway

Cheers for the info anyway

Hey,

I just wondered if anyone had had similar DFP problems. Recently I went to plug mine in and set it up (after a reformat) and there were no signs of life from the wheel (lights flashing, motors twitching or anything) or PC (no pop-ups saying "Oooh! USB thingy!" etc.). I tried it in my PS2 as well, and nothing. It seems as if something pretty fundamental has given up the ghost. Does anyone know what might be the problem here, and if it's fixable? I don't think I've got any warranty or anything (bought new off eBay) so I don't know how much good it would do to try and contact Logitech. I really want to get this wheel back in order again, because I've just recently decided I wanna get simracing again, and I can't afford to replace it with anything decent, unless Poundland supply G25s...

Thanks for any help,
Adam.


EDIT: Just for the sake of any Forum Historians out there, yes, I did post a thread about DFP problems on here hundreds of years ago, but they were eventually rectified, if I remember rightly (I sound like an old bloke =/ ).

Surely there must be a fix for this? I've got 80 pounds of wheel sitting on my desk next to me almost untouched since I bought it... I can't play LFS or any other racing sim.

You dirty thread hijackers you...

Quote from amp88 :

Possibly the USB port is faulty. Have you tried any other ports?

Also try connecting a different USB device to the port you're currently connecting the DFP to to see if that device works.

I have, I've been through all that. Works perfect with everything else.

Quote from Shotglass :

does the wheel calibrate itself when you connect it?

It tries to, but it's not very successful because of the on-off-on-off problem.

Quote from Shotglass :

do you have the logitech drivers installed ?

Yup.

By the way, forgot to mention that even when we do get it working, as soon as I reboot we're back to square one.

Monster trucks. I think the LFS physics engine would be great for this, if you used actual LFS cars with physics and damage to drive over!

Hey all,

When I plug my DFP in to my PC the computer will detect it (little speech bubble saying USB human interface device detected of something like that), and make the annoying bleep noise, then it will lose detection, and make the other annoying bleep noise, then it will regain contact, and so on and so on. Despite this, I have once managed to make it work 100%, and so has my dad, but neither of us have a clue how we did it, and it's hardly satisfactory. Anyone have and idea what's going on, and how to fix it?
