Hi,
    What should the settings be for GPL regarding the force feedback using
an Act labs Force RS wheel? Thanks.

I use:

[ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback = 1
force_feedback_damping = 450
force_feedback_latency = 0.0045
max_steering_torque = 220

Do take a look at: http://www.slottweak.com/index.html Lots of stuff about A-L
et al.

Never tried damping that high.  Doesn't that kill all the
feedback?  I usually set damping to 0, and steering
torque is currently up around 300.

Religious war. :-) Some say damping should be twice as much as torque, others
that it should be 0-35. The Slottweak page suggests a lot more than this. Read
it, test it, and try it. I used to use 35/235 (d/t) but tried this and prefer
it. Haven't tested new settings in a while actually... could be time.
