Thanks MS FFW definitely works very well with LFS here, on two different PC's (AMD/VIA & Intel 815), three OS'es (win98, win2K, winXp). I have the USB version, don't know about the gameport one, though. Xavier.

Good Point. I believe LFS only uses the first controller, and if you have two connected the MSFFW might be in a different controller slot than #1. I HATE it when games that still can't deal with this after how many decades ? -Larry "Todd Walker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Works fine here. I've found the middle FF setting to work ok. If you are running a GamePort version of the MSFFW on Win2K or XP, you might be out of luck. -Larry "Chappie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > LFS does not see my MFFW...has anyone got it to work?

I am running the gameport version on xp and everything works fine except I get no force feedback. Anyone else?

Gameport versions are simply problematic under 2K/XP. Do not expect everything to work reliably with every game because it's not going to. MS has indicated that there will NEVER be a SideWinder software update for the GamePort versions. I keep my old Gameport version around for spare parts (I've used a USB version for 2+ years), though after 2 years I've still not needed a single thing from it. -Larry "Doug Hook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9fNc9.276875$me6.35335@sccrnsc01...

Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation on the MSFFW Larry. I absolutely love it and my lap times show an improvement as well. I didn't realize how un-precise my Logitech Formula wheel really was. -- ________________________ Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com ________________________
