1. I get lots of static (snap cracklely pop) noises from the engine
sounds with my mx300 sound card.  No static in the replays though.
Anyone else have the same problem?

2. I'm finding force-feedback to be a gimmick at this point in time.
I've tried many different setups (including ones from websites and this
newsgroup, and even Slotcar's crazy numbers) and nothing even comes
close to a realistic feeling.  Am I missing something?  Do you guys just
get pleasure from the jolts and vibrations, or do you feel that the
forces help you to drive?

3. Do CH pedals (original, non-pro) come in different sizes?  Because I
think I got ones for little girls.  I didn't see any size choices when I
ordered them online though.  Does this mean a lot of you with these
things are driving with your feet dangling way over the edges?  Ugh.
Maybe you modified them?  I'm not a bigfoot either (although my other
member is still a freakishly humongous monstrosity, go figure). ;)

Thanks for reading this and not responding with any helpful suggestions
whatsoever.  Otherwise thanks a lot!

Before you buy.

Hmm weird, as GPL is the most realistic FF, it's actually gives you forces
in the corner of the weight loading/unloading, compared to every other game
who only give bumps and vibrations.  Could you post your FF settings ?

I have very big feet (size 14) and never found them bad.  I have the toes
*** out, but it helps precision I'll say.  I've measured my pedals and
they measure 23centimeters in height from bottom to the top of it.

If you don't like the way, here is a hint.  Turn them 180degrees, and tilt
them.  You'll create a real pedal sensation if you can tweak them (put some
wood under the base, etc..)

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise

you have to disable centering in FF-games and damping effects in your
logitech profiler.

maybe you have just big feet? ;-)
well, I've got size 45 (US: 13) and it fits ... hm, ok, my toes are
*** out a bit ;-)

Good idea sorta kinda. :)

Well, Viper Racing is sorely missing from you list of FF games. Better
FF than GPL, I'd say.

SCGT = weak FF effects, sadly...
NFS4 = gimmick FF, ie. rumble effect when going over wooden bridges
but nothing that aids in driving.
RC2K = can't comment

Viper and GPL are both the cats meow when it comes to FF!
