Nascar4 and loosing force feedback during game

by Stu_ » Mon, 16 Jul 2001 10:46:48

I have a "old" LWFF wheel using 3.62 drivers.

I have noticed that at a few tracks (Sears Point,Watkins Glen and most
recently Richmond) my wheel suddenly loses the force feedback after a short
time.

I have yet to try all tracks to make a complete analysis.

I've tried reducing the amount of force feed back in the game from 100% down
to 50 % at these particular tracks with no difference.

This occurs usually after a good 40 mins or so and temporary cures itself
when a pit stop is made or exiting the game and restarting.

My cover on the wheel definetely gets a bit warmer..so I tend to think it's
killing my wheel slowly?

I have no problem with GPL or any other game doing this.

Anyone else experienced this or have a possible solution please.

Brief system specs.
Win98 and updates
DX8
12.41 Video drivers

256 Sdram
Gts 2 32mb leadtek
s/b live
not even sure if any of that is relevant.

Cheers

Centering spring is unchecked and other settings are at 100%.

Out of interest the same thing happened tonight to another user who also has
the same wheel. We were racing at Texas.

maybe this is just an intermitted bug in the game?

I have had my FF drop'out [sometimes rarely and others regularly] with
SBK2000 & 2001 with my Guillemot FFB j/s. Has anyone run into this
in SBK? Any help would be appreciated!!
