Guys,

I think everyone with a MSFF wheel should call the GP3 technical support
guys and ask for help and/or a patch. The more of us who complain, and
threaten to return the game unless they sort it, the better.

Would someone post the phone number, my stuff's at home.

Colin,

Yes, it's the pull that's the main concern.

Is your wheel usb, or joystick port?
What's the "wheel setup from BHMS" that you refer to?

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, which version of Windows and DirectX are you using ?

He has the Saitek R4:

Well, removing the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\Saitek
R4 Force
Wheel\OEMForceFeedback\Effects\{e84cd1c6-81fa-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95}]
from the registry works - this is the "Raw Force" effect for the wheel.

Here's the key for the MSFF:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\
Joystick\OEM\Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback
Wheel\OEMForceFeedback\Effects\
{e84cd1c6-81fa-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95}]

It works, and finally I can enjoy this gem of a sim as it is supposed to
be.

Damn, I'm thinking of deinstalling GPL...naah, I'll find time for it
again, I'm sure! ;)

Did you try how this affects other games? Maybe you could report something
about that.
I wouldn't enjoy too much editing my registry whenever I change to another
game...

For savety and easy restoring, instead of deleting the key I rename it by
putting "Not " in front of the name. Also you may want to export the key
before you  change or delete it ...

It does not cure the problem of the lacking center force when force feedback
is disabled.

Of course, I'll check if I notice any diff in ViperRacing, GPL, N3, etc.
Sorry, I deleted F12k, just couldn't drive the bobby car on fantasy
tracks
anymore. SCNR

I'd never turn it off, after GPL & VR it's now the third sim with
usefull
FF effects.
