Hi!
I got a problem with my Logitech MOMO (the red one) wheel. It was working fine for about a year in all PS2 games. But now I'm expiriencing big time problems. I calibrate the wheel as usual - every time that I start the GranTurismo3 and it works just fine. But than at random time the car starts to turn left and adding the throttle :odd: :confused: The steering wheel is although centered but the car keeps turning left. I even can't exit the menu. I must reset the PS2. Then I calibrate the wheel again and it is OK for a while and then again - the same problem.
I heard that these wheels have a pot problems. So does this could be it? Any suggestion would be helpful. I won't open the wheel, 'cos I thing the thing is still in 1 year garantue.

Help, please :nervous:
 
If it's still under warranty, pack it up and take it back. That's what guarantees are for.

I have heard of the wheels occasionally locking up, but not aways at full left steering. That's usually caused by playing without the power supply plugged in.
 
Yes, but actually more for NFSU than for GT3. And for cars of course. But not often at all, 'cuz I have to work the whole day. So, I'm on track / street now, cu l8er :)

Yes. That's true. I noticed it myself. It will probably be the best think to take the wheel into repair. Man, that's gonna take a while ...:irked:
