I know, use the search to figure it out. I have. I have used Alison Hine info too, but that still doesn't work. I have the Logitech FF wheel, the red one. Any ideas. Running XP.

I hear the diffference is huge and provides significantly better feel.

F1Johnny- I don't know what Your problem with it is- is it installing and getting it to work in GPL or setting it up properly?

If latter, IIRC GEM+ has few options to adjust FF options...

My FF does not work either, the wheel works but there is no force, I run Xp also and have the MOMO wheel.

Okay...

*IF* forcefeedback is working in other games (did you try?), then there is only one thing which will do the trick...

You say you've been on Alison Hines site, so you probably already know about the ff lines that go into your CORE.INI file. Something like this ... :

[ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback=1
force_feedback_damping=375.000000
force_feedback_latency=0.00450
max_steering_torque=285.000000

Of course, you first need to have installed the patch_1.2 from papy's site, but I suppose it is something you've done some time ago. So, with that patch installed, you would only have to edit the preceeding lines that go into your core.ini file, most importantly that 'allow_force_feedback=1' which will, well, allow force feedback.

If this doesn't work, no panic. I'm not taking you for a fool or nothing, but I want you to go into your gpl folder. Your Core.ini file may indeed be a core.ini.sample file and you'll have to remove the .sample extension for it to work allright. Here's the way... :

In the gpl folder :
Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> and then uncheck 'Hide Extensions for Known File Types'... Then you can click Apply, close the window, and just erase the .sample part off the name of the file.

It should work.

Did as you said MaxS, It works

And it's mutch easier to drive cut 2 sec of my Zandvort time, after 2 laps

[F1Johnny]

Thanks Max

Believe it or not I have my wheel at work and will check it on Monday evening. Sounds like Chrissy Boy got it to work so I should be able to as well.

Just one thing about the ForceFeedback, how do I adjust it? When I'm driving on the straight and move the wfeel a bit this rapid shaking starts, sound like a drill, quite anoying at SPA.

Any ideas?

Does force feedback really make you go faster? I am at -20 at the moment, and I can only see it slowing me down. It is hard enough doing a lap without crashing at the ring without the wheel jerkin all over the place!

[MaxScelerate]

I wouldn't say force feedback makes me faster. It's not exactly that, but...

When playing with a joystick, there's a few places on track (ex : Lesmo-2) where I would lose some power or spin the rear tires without really knowing why. I would learn to remember these places and adjust the throttle, but I didn't understand what was going on...

After two or three days of playing with my momo wheel, I found out some of these were bumps in the road. And others were 'holes'. And it all made more sense now. And I detect them much easier too now that I know how to recognize the ForceFeedback effect for, say, bumps.

So it did, in a way, help my driving. But mostly, it's the fun factor that got the meter blasting upward!!
