Picked up NASCAR 2002. Surprised to see I still lose force feedback when I select a track and it starts loading. This is exactly what happened in N4. I am using an older (red) Logitech Wingman Formula Force. Is there a fix or workaround? Has anyone else seen this? The only way to recover is to select the optimized driver, (click through it since it doesn't work for the Logitech), go back and select the other one, recalibrate the wheel and pedals, assign the wheel and shift paddles. Thanks, Russell

I'm using a LWFF (original red), and and I don't have that problem at all with GPL, N4, or N2002. I've run them on XP, 98, 2000, and ME with no such results. If you have more than one game controller like a joystick or gamepad, etcc, and don't always connect it up, then this could happen, since the controller id's would possibly change, but other than that, you've got some local problem. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash R Keating <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:abubdd$2ot$[email hidden]... > Picked up NASCAR 2002.

I have a MS-FF wheel and a Thrustmaster Gamepad. When they are both connected (both USB) it is impossible to assign the wheel for steering. When I disconnect the gamepad, everything works fine (including FF).

If you lose the FF while driving, the wheel may be overheating. I had that problem and fixed it by turning down the amount of force.

Yep! I had an on-going problem with the Logi-Red wheel. Turning the amount of FF usually fixes the problem. - Isotrip� "R Keating" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:abunt9$rn5$[email hidden]... > If you lose the FF while driving, the wheel may be overheating.

I had the same problem a few weeks back with the FF disapearing from my Ferrarr FF wheel in all DX games. I tried all sorts of things but I finally cured it completely by re-installing DX 8.1. The problem only started after I'd upgraded my Detonator graphics drivers. Now I've got my Force back I'm a happy bunny Some Call Me Tim
