I mean that if I can feel the weight of the car shift in a corner it may
be almost as useful as it could have been (or still may be) with the GPL
physics engine.
Am I way off here?

Do you really believe the two are that closely tied? I'm inclined to think that
a programmer could create Force Feedback to react to whatever he (or she)
wants. Especially a Papy programmer ;)

I think so. The reason FF so good in GPL is because the physics engine is so
good. All the calculations for sending valuable feedback to the wheel were
already being done. It is no coincidence that the sim with the second best
physics engine (Viper) also has the second best FF. When they try to slap FF
on top of the old N2 engine it will be mediocre at best, at worst it will
drastically slow down the frame rate.

So how will they model e.g. suspension travel in bumbs? All the tracks
in N2 are flat.
