It does support force feedback - try a Google search in this ng.

HTH,

You appear to have a lot to learn about GPL but at least you've come to the
right place :).  GPL supports force feedback, in fact it has the best FF of
any sim.  It supports the latest GeForce cards with a D3D patch.  The
graphics have been more or less completely redone by a band of editors.  I
suggest you take a look at my beginner's guide to GPL at
http://www.legendscentral.com/gplintro.shtml for a lot of basic information
and links to transform GPL into an up to date sim.

Force feedback in GPL isn't "hand" candy.  It gives you back important
feedback about what the car is currently doing.  FF is games such as
NFS SCGT etc is just for fun.

GPL isn't an easy game, it'll frustrate you and tease you for months before
you finally get into it and start getting the satisfaction of consistent
lapping, but persevere and I think you'll find it's very rewarding...

Next find this line in your core.ini and change the 0 to a 1.  That enables
FF.

allow_force_feedback = 1                 ; Use FF if device has it

Then since your card is from NVidia, add these lines to the end of your
core.ini-

[ Int Profile Values ]
value3 = Direct3D7:D3DDevice:0                  ; do not change
value4 = Direct3D7:TossHighestMip:0             ; do not change
value5 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResWidth:1       ; do not change
value6 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResHeight:1      ; do not change
value7 = Direct3D7:DirectMirrorRendering:1      ; do not change
value8 = Direct3D7:DisableZBuffer:0             ; do not change
value9 = Direct3D7:AlphaThreshold:240           ; do not change
value10 = Direct3D7:TransparentMipsDrawOrder:0  ; do not change
value11 = Direct3D7:TrilinearFiltering:1        ; do not change
value12 = Direct3D7:AnisotropicFiltering:0      ; do not change
value13 = Direct3D7:LODBias:-50                 ; do not change

[ Direct3D7 ]
D3DDevice = 0
TossHighestMip = 0
DoubleMirrorResWidth = 1
DoubleMirrorResHeight = 1
DirectMirrorRendering = 1
DisableZBuffer = 0
AlphaThreshold = 1
TransparentMipsDrawOrder = 1
TrilinearFiltering = 1
AnisotropicFiltering = 8
LODBias = -50

Then start GPL, change the renderer in the options to D3D and restart GPL.
Now up the resolution and enjoy.

You may also like the tweak these lines in your core.ini-

force_feedback_latency = 0.035000        ; force feedback latency (secs)
max_steering_torque = 300.000000         ; steering torque in N*in giving
max device force

These settings are good for a Guillemot/Thrustmaster Ferrari wheel USB.
Also, if you are using a wheel select split axis for the pedals and lastly
you might like the change the following line to look like this-

steer_ratio = 0                              ; Enable low speed ratio
override

Actually (as mentioned in other posts in this thread) it supports
pretty much everything you can throw at it. Which is a good job,
because when you've ***ed up Eau Rouge for the seventh time running,
you won't have a shortage of things to throw :-)
