rec.autos.simulators

I have both games and FF does not appear in either.

The Colin Mcrae box does quote 'providing support for Force Feedback
controllers'
but this is very different from actually providing forcefeedback in the
game. Can anyone verify if they do have forcefeedback. I am using a MS
Sidewinder FF Pro.

Does GPL have FF or prehaps plan to at a later date?

Best regards

I am not seeing this option. The troubleshooting does mention that only the
detected controllers are visable - however mine works fine in every other
game.

I will try removing and reinstalling the drivers for the controller.

I have the same joystick as you (i`m trying to sell it actually), and it
works fine in colin mcrae, but there is no support in gpl.

GPL does not support FF at all.

Whoa, I've been waiting for an FF wheel thinking it will add another
dimension to race sims.
However, if there are 'pauses' then I'm not so sure I want one.

Can you please describe these in full - effect, cause, intrusion to sim etc.

Thanks

I got a p2 300, 64mb, voodoo2, ms force feedback j`stick.

I first tried cmr with the feedback on, its pretty good, and feels like
youre really controlling the cars, but the game appeared to stutter, not a
slower frame rate, but sort of jerky, not much but enough to***me off. I
thought it was the game, but after my arm was aching too much, I switched to
the sidewinder 3d pro, and noticed the difference immediatley, it is much
smoother, and more fun (in my opinion) to play.

I haven`t really had a close look, but most other games appear to work ok.

It's really bad and I've had to turn off FF to be able to play properly. I
get a floppy stick (oo err) with FF turned off so I really dont like what is
happening.

This is also a problem in other games like NFS3 which run ultra smooth with
FF turned off but with FF turned on it does this stuttering business.

P.S. I have the Sidewinder without the fan which i presume is v2.

etc.
