I must have missed something, I hear some of you talk about Force Feedback
in GPL, where is  that patch? I't not the 1.2 patch, is it? I have that
patch for quite a while now, or is there a new version available, and if
yes, where?

Thanks,
Geert Jan Poelman

OUCH! :)

Check core.ini and read.me on how to turn on the FF option. It's great.

It is in the 1.2 patch. You can enable it using a file named core.ini (if
you have the "Hide extentions for know file types" option turned on in
Windows explorer it will appear to be called "core").

Open core.ini with a text editor and look for a section called [ Joy ] and
set the "allow_force_feedback" option to 1. Other settings can be tweaked to
preference. Here are mine.

[ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback = 1          ; Use FF if device has it
force_feedback_damping = 48.000000; force feedback damping coefficient
force_feedback_latency = 0.005000 ; force feedback latency (secs)
max_steering_torque = 285.000000  ; steering torque in N*in giving max
device force

You need lines in the core.ini for it to run.. something like this:
[Joy]
allow_force_feedback = 1
force_feedback_damping = 100.0
force_feedback_latency = 0.03
max_steering_torque = 600.0

[Hack]
steer_ratio = 0 ; to keep steering ratio constant in slow corners
**just an example**

Also the file installed by the 1.2 patch is called "core.ini.sample", it's a
dummy file, and it doesn't work until you rename it to just "core.ini".
