NFS2-msforcefeed problem

Alan,

I am going to ask a dumb question here so dont think I am insulting your
intelligence, but did you turn force feedback on in the game? And if so, did
you adjust the level high enough that you could feel it? I have an MS
Sidewinder FF also and it works fine in NFS2SE, just so you will know that
it DOES work.

Could anybody advice me why I can get my MS-sidewinder force feedback to
give force effects in fs98 but not in nfs2? I've loaded the profile
provided with the prog.
Thanks any suggestions much appreciated

   Todd, thanks for the suggestion but maybe I don't have the "SE"
version of NFS2 because I cant see where to turn on the force feed and
it shows an auto-detect when I try. Here is the accompanying relevant
section from readme.txt manual and reference addendum-
Ensure your joystick is configured properly under Windows 95, all
joystick cables are
properly attached, and run NFS II. From the main menu, select OPTIONS,
then CONTROLS, and
then FORCE FEEDBACK. A message saying "Auto detecting" will appear and
the game will look
for your force feedback joystick. The message "Device not found" appears
if the joystick is
not detected - double-check your joystick configuration in Windows 95 is
correct and try
again.

If the joystick is detected, the force-feedback sensitivity menu will
appear. Use your mouse
to select the force level you desire; maximum force is exerted when the
bar is all the way
to the right, and all forces are disabled when the bar is all the way to
the left (select
this level if you want to use your force feedback controller as a normal
analog joystick
without any forces). You should notice some resistance on the joystick
as you change the
effects level. As soon as you begin playing, you should notice the
effects immediately. If
you do not, double-check your settings and effects level.
anymore ideas Todd or anybody?
