force feedback wheel questions

by Ian Fo » Fri, 29 Jan 1999 04:00:00

Of all the new force feedback wheels, do all of them use some sort of
optical device instead of pots ? I know the Microsoft one does. Also , can
any of them actually be used as a bog standard joystick in DOS games such as
GP2 (obviously without force feedback). I suspect the answer to this is no.

Any help appreciated

I've had a MSFF wheel for about two weeks now, and today I tried it for the
first time with GP2 and it worked OK.  Just configured it like a joystick.
But GP2 feels old now after GPL........
