I noticed in Dejanews (Its got a better searcher) that some one was asking
about using FF wheels in DOS games.

I have a SideWinder Wheel that uses the SoundBlaster game/midi port, this
works fine in all the racing games i have (Listed below) as long as they are
run through Windows.

Europress RAC Rally (No FF)
Grandprix 2 (No FF)
TOCA 1 (Little FF)
Need For Speed 3 (Demo) (***FF)
Viper Racing (Demo) (Too much FF)
Cart Precision Racing (Good FF)
Monster truck Madness (Some FF)

I tried running GP2 in DOS but the steering dissapeared and turned to the
right, (I didn't try recalibrating it).

This as far as I know is the best wheel that uses the Gameport and is a bit
out date now for its interface usage (Just a big bit).

But it shows that Microsoft do actually sometimes (not very often) think
about users of older systems/programms.

GP2 Cameras

This sim has the most realistic FF effects today...

Really bad effects.

Some arcade ripping and jumping, but...

Of course, it depends on your personal viewpoint, which FF effects
are good or bad. I only like them if they give some usefull feedback
instead of just telling me that I hit a wall... ;^)
