That can generally dampen the effects, and if the force feedback is
implemented correctly the wheel should center according to the cars
dynamics, without -auto-centering. If your one of the few who like the
additional centering forces, you can always turn it back on.

Have you tried this? Do you own and drive F1 2000 this way?
The reason I ask is because from the reply of yours it is obvious
that you do not.
First off, it is very well known that F1 2000 had GPL type FF
effects while you are in the pits. Once you pass the speed
line on pit exit you can feel the FF effects are lost. You still
will feel bumps and stuff, but the road traction and weight
effects are gone. To somewhat compensate you need to turn
on spring centering in FF games.

Gregor, thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it made a bit of a
difference; most noticeable at high speeds when I'm making swift manuevers,
but still not enough in turns and "holding it in the road". I'm going to
try Kai's suggestion also (turning centering spring off).
I wish F1 2000 had its own .ini file, where I could go in and set game
specific settings there, ala GPL and NASCAR 3.

I'll give that a shot, Kai... thanks for the idea. I saw some isolated
minor improvements with I set the speed setting to "0", but a lot more than
that is needed. Honestly, of all the racing games I've got, F1 2000 has the
weakest force feedback effects. This may just be an anomoly with the LWFF,
however.
I'll be back with a report later....
Thanks again!

So my interruption of the readme was correct? Man on man
what a bunch of wizard programmers to back out of a problem
like that. I am rather disappointed. I guess I will be sticking with
1.06 for a while.

Well I have both games and set the spring center ON for F1 2000
and turn it OFF for SCGT. Also the reason I reacted the way that
I did was because what you were telling him was 180 degrees
from what many posts here have advised. Anyone that had the
game and a LWFF would know you get a better feel with the FF
spring centering ON.
It was nothing personal, and if I offended you I apologize.
