rec.autos.simulators

The readme file suggests adding the line:

 [ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback = 1

but its already there. Likewise:

force_feedback_latency = 0.085 ;                 in seconds
force_feedback_damping= 40.0 ;           magic number
max_steering_torque = 225.0 ;           in Newton-inches

So what am I doing wrong?

My system:

Celeron 433
Voodoo 3 2000
64mb RAM
Microsoft FF wheel and pedals

Thanks guys

Also, if you're using WinVROC make sure you don't override your FF settings
(advanced tab) when connecting.

To check the name of the file where you have made the force
feedback entry changes, open Explorer, browse to the GPL folder
and right click on the file you think is called core.ini.
Choose Properties from the pop-up menu.  In the General
properties there will be an MS-DOS filename property.  Check
what this is.  If it is not CORE.INI then the file is not named
correctly.

To rename the file, you first need to display file extensions.
To do this, click on the View menu in Explorer and select Folder
Options (or Options in Windows 95).  Click on the View tab and
look in the Advanced Settings display.  Under the Files and
Folders tree untick the "Hide file extensions for known file
types" box and select OK.  The file called core.ini in Explorer
will now be called something else (probably core.ini.sample).
Right click on the file and choose Rename from the pop-up menu.
Enter the name core.ini and click off the icon.  The icon will
change to a pad with lines on with a cog in the bottom right
hand corner.

You should now get force feedback in GPL.  This if course
assumes you have a force feedback device. :-)

Cheers

Renaming core.ini(.sample) worked, and now the 'ring is even
harder (but more fun!).
