Today we have posted the third interview F1Filter has conducted at this
year's E3 Expo. After the interviews with Zenon Holtz
(http://www.racesimcentral.net/)
, from ACT LABS and the world-exclusive interview with Dave Kaemmer
(http://www.racesimcentral.net/
), from Papyrus, we can now present you with an interview with Steven Teear,
General Manager of Hyper Stimulator International:
"F1F: Well, what's your take on the development of force-feedback (FFB) in
the later sims that have come out on the market?
ST: Umm [thinking] It's goodEverybody want's it[carefully choosing words]
Or at least they think they want it. But in my opinion, there's been a
decline in the amount of people that really want FFB. I probably think
that's been reinforced, to some extent, by the decisions of software
developers and other hardware developers. There seems to have been a
backward step in the FFB technology that's currently available. There's
technical problems with the amount of lag that's inherent in the systems.
[pauses] I think that there will probably be another form of FFB in the
future. I'd like to think that it will be called something completely
different, because it will be a new technology. But one day, there will be a
completely realistic form of FFB."

Enjoy!
