F1 2001 Force Feedback help needed

Can anybody point me towards a guide to all the options in the ff setup of F1 2001 I'm using a LWFF wheel but cannot get any centering spring feel. I did have it working great but then overwrote the settings.. TIA Craig

I just had to re-install F1 2001 last night and had the same problem, but solved it. I can't post you to a guide, but try these settings. This fix was posted here about 2 months ago. Substitute (ie copy/paste over) the following (see below) over the appropriate lines in your xxx.plr file (which is located under your "Save" directory). These lines go in the last section in the file. Make sure that you back up your xxx.plr file first. Also, DON'T make any changes to your settings from within the game afterwards, as your FF settings will revert back to the default settings and you'll have to do this again. Good Luck..........

Thanks BRH That worked a treat Craig

Thanks Sven, I've got that installed, but there is no setting for centering weight. It seems that some other settings stop it working, but what? Craig "Sven" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3c39efa9$0$282$[email hidden]...
