SODA: force feedback?

SODA: force feedback?

by Brian Fo » Thu, 18 Feb 1999 04:00:00

I couldn't resist the poor, innocent, sierra sports box marked at $9.99 at
Best Buy, so I gave one copy of SODA a home today.  I never realized this
game was programmed with I-force's force feedback, but unfortunately it
doesn't seem to work with my logitech FF.  Do I need special drivers, or is
there any other way to get the force working?  Soda seems like a good way to
take out aggression between hopeless efforts to break the 1:11 barrier at
the glen in gpl.  Thanks.

Hi Brian,

I can't remember what readme file it's in (I think for the Logitech),
but SODA is known and listed incompatible with the Logitech I-force
implementation.

No fix or patch exists AFAIK.

Too bad,  SODA is second on my list of "games I wish had force
feedback."  A while back, when I first got my Logitech, I bashed FF
technology as a joke.  However, with some tweaking and playing, I can
now say that some FF effects done correctly (eg. Viper Racing) can be
quite a fun addition to driving.

If no one else has the location of the SODA information, I'll dig it
up later.

Brett

While the logitech wheel is I-force 2.0- i doubt it is backward compatible
with I-Force 1.0 stuff like Soda....

Sorry, but i think you're out of luck.

Duh, now that I think about it I do remember reading that list of
incompatible games.  Disregard my idiocy. :)
