Logitech Pedal Maintenance Part 2

Reassembly:

With the unit inverted, make sure that all components are correctly positioned. This includes the pots, the pedals, the throttle pedal spring, and the wiring. Take great care to ensure that the wiring is routed through the various indentations provided, to prevent the wires from becoming crimped or cut when the cover is installed. The photo below illustrates how my own MOMO pedals were carelessly assembled at the factory.

sloppy and careless factory assembly

Here's the proper way to do the job:

indentations are provided at seven different locations the AC and PC wiring

If you've removed the pedals entirely, pay attention to the tabs on the pedals. Each pedal must be installed with the tab on the inside of the pedal box. It's better to double check now, than to finish the job and discover that your pedals have zero travel.

ensure the tab is inside!

The final step is to install the cover. Place the cover on the pedal unit, and install the screws. It's a bit tricky holding everything together at first, but certainly not impossible. I suggest inserting the screws which hold the pivoting ends of the pedals first (screws 4-7, as seen in the photo below), then the remaining six screws. One final piece of advice: do not over tighten! This unit is made of plastic, thus the holes can be easily stripped.

fasten screws 4-7 first; do not overtighten!

Once the wheel and pedals are connected to the PC, recalibrate the device within your favourite sim.
(Grand Prix Legends, right? ).

Core.ini settings: These settings are not carved in stone, rather they're settings to which I've become accustomed. Copy and paste to your core.ini file, typically located here: C:\sierra\gpl

Logitech Wingman Profiles: Ensure you're running current software for your Logitech wheel. Check www.wingmanteam.com for the latest release.

map these keyboard functions to your Logitech steering wheel

These files allow one to map various keyboard functions from GPL to the steering wheel. Two profiles are available for on and offline use. The offline profile differs from the online one in that the "raise arm" button has been changed to "pause". Note that the online profile, intended for use with WinVROC, must be pointed at the GPLLaunch.exe, located in the WinVROC folder: C:\Program Files\VROC\WinVROC. Download the profiles here.

Got a problem with your wheel?
Don't ask me, I'm little more than a simple idiot; ask the experts at the Race Sim Central GPL Forum.
