I keep reading messages about FF (Force Feedback?)  in
GPL on this newsgroup. Whats the story? Is someone just
starting rumors or are they actually going to come up with a
patch hich ads FF to GPL? If this is true where can I find more

There will be a patch 1.1 shortly. This has been confirmed several times
here at ras by Randy Cassidy one of the key people in developing GPL. No
specific time was given but it shouldn't be long. The patch will also
improve online support and a couple of small issues. Read back posts and
look fro Randys name if you want the direct scoop. It's also on the news
page at The Apex.

Jimmy...

GPaL, the new, soon-to-be-released GPL interface, will fully support GPL
1.1.

I expect that by the end of the day (9:00 pm EDT, 0100 GMT) updated
screenshots will be up on the GPaL site (www.RaceLive.com/GPaL
) which might give you a little insight into what's in store in GPL 1.1.

These GPaL screenshots, as revealing as there are, are being made available
to you with Papy's blessing. Thanks, Papy!

Take a look!

Well I couldnt find any posts by Randy Cassidy as to where he stated
that the next version will have force feedback but what I did find I
was able to change my whole setup driving GPL. I found I can still
use my Logitech Formula Force Wheel and in turn with it also
use my CH Pro-Pedals. Reguardless of whether the new GPL patch
has FF or not (sure hope it does) now I'll be able to fully compete
with the best GPL drivers and start beating my original record times.
Thanks for the info it helped me a bunch! See you on VROC!

Took a few minutes but this is from last monday

There are other references as well. FF soon in GPL.
JM - no I'm not buying a new wheel just for it either.

If you look at Jack Rambo's GPaL screen shot at www.RaceLive.com/GPaL under
general settings tab / control set, a little hint of things to come...
