LFS: What is the LWFF Formula Force bug?

I have an old LWFF, and I was thinking about installing patch P, but the "known problems" on www.liveforspeed.com mentions the "Logitech Wingman Formula Force bug." Should I just stay with what I have (patch L, I think - whatever the first patch available was). I assume I won't be able to get split axis and force feedback at this time? Or was this problem fixed in patch P? Thanks -- Doug Appleyard To reply, myname is dougappleyard -------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ -------------------- Usenet Newsgroup Service

You could try asking at the official LFS forum at: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=205 Phil Lee --- Race Sim Central Administrator http://www.racesimcentral.com

The patch is just a replacement .exe Back up the old one and you can revert easily if you decide that P isn't for you. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:20020827121951.477$[email hidden]...

Installed P patch...still the same :-( Darf > I believe the problem was that the bottom two buttons weren;t recognisedby > LFS. I have no idea whether this is fixed in patch P. You could try asking > at the official LFS forum at: >

Patch P works but you can either have split axis or FF - not both. I can still do mid 1:28s without split axis so it's not too bad...

Got nice FFon the LWFF when using "type 2" Haven't got split axis working though, with or without FF :-( JensSchumi On Mon, 2 Sep 2002 17:58:01 +1000, "Damien Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote: >> I think with the LWFF you can have split axis and FF at the same time, but >> the FF is messed up.

Try what I did. Go into Control panel \ Game Controllers \ Highlight the Wingman wheel, click properties, click settings, uncheck the "Pedals reported as" Combined axis box, click close. In the Game go to controls, select separate Throttle / Brake axis. Then Select Axis RZ for throttle and Z for Brake. Swap pedals should be on. LFS is heaps better with dual axis IMHO Hope this helps Darf "JS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Got nice FFon the LWFF when using "type 2" > Haven't got split axis working though, with or without FF :-(

Getting split axis now, but also this weird FF. Dunno what's better, but I'm not comfortable without missing either FF or sa :-( C ya JensSchumi On Fri, 13 Sep 2002 02:37:32 GMT, [email hidden] (JS) wrote:
