Hi,

Does anyone know if force feedback works with AMA.  I have the
sidewinder FF wheel and i can drive with it but no feedback.  It is also
not in controller list as one of the selections.

there are 4 sidewinder controllers to be selected but dont think any of
them are the force feedback controller.

thanks for any info,

Dave Thayer

We don't support FF yet. It's on the list.

My advice is don't do it until you have time to do it right. It can be
a valuable feedback aid allowing you to increase realism - as in GPL -
or a useless bump'n'jolt gimmich as in games like Need for Speed.

That's why we didn't put it in for the first release. What we want is to do
it in such a way that you feel the wheelies, low-sides, tank-slappers, etc.
and use the stick feedback to avoid embarassing accidents. That ended up
being a LOT more work to make right than expected. And we didn't want some
weak "stick shakes when you hit wall" FF support just so we could have the
bullet on the box.
