I am very new in racing sims, and now that I have income, my interest in
this genre is blooming. When you mean GPL, do you mean Papyrus's Grand
Prix Legends? I thought that game never had Force Feedback support, or
did they release a patch (what version)? Sorry if this is an old and
tired question.

Thanks!

Yes.

The original version (1.0) didn't have FF support, it's true, but the
current version (1.2) does. You can get the patch from here (make sure
you get the right country):

Get the 1.2 patch. You'll have to edit the text file and set FF to on.
