Just an outsidfe possibility. You haven't turned the FF button off on
the centre of the wheel by any chance?

Wheel light is on. I'm not racing online.

allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF
force_feedback_damping = 5.000000 ; damping coefficient
force_feedback_latency = 0.020000 ; latency (secs)
max_steering_torque = 330.000000 ; torque = max force
i believe the FF settings are default...I turned them off some time
ago...new wheel, no ff. So I can't say if they would work well with your
wheel. ( had a LWFF btw)
So make sure the file has:
allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF
and that you save the file as core.ini not core.ini.sample or (more common
mistake) core.ini.txt
reboot your system after making the changes...it couldn't hurt right?
And...make sure in the controllers section inside GPL that you are using the
Direct Input wheel drivers not the generic drivers.

Sorry if you know all this. If so then just ignore me.
Open the GPL folder in Windows Explorer.
Right click on core.ini and select Properties. Look at the 'DOS
Name'. Is it core.ini? If it is then you've renamed the file
correctly. If not then try the following.
Select 'View/Folder options' from the menu.
Find the 'hide file extensions for known file types' option and
uncheck it.
Now Explorer will show you the whole filename including the extension.
Rename it to core.ini and all your problems will be solved. :o)

It's possible that windows is hiding the ".sample" extension. As Paul
Thurston suggested, find your GPL folder and right click on the "core.ini"
file and select 'properties'. Look under MS-DOS name. If it's not
"core.ini" then it still needs changing. Right-click and 'rename' it. You
can also turn off file extension hiding (can't remember how to do that in
98se, I use ME).
Every time someone has trouble getting FF to work in GPL, it is *always* the
same problem, it's always that they haven't renamed that file correctly.
Like I said, if you can't remember renaming it, then it's still wrong.
Good luck :)
