GPL: vroc and ff

hi, i'm just starting on vroc, at the same time as changing to a ff wheel. winvroc lets me turn off ff. why? what benefits does turning it off have when running on-line? 1300MhZ, gforce2mx, actlabs rs, slowwwww but steady 14.4 modem (yeah, i know!). ta, dr martin

Some FF wheels take up alot of processor time (i.e. Microsoft one). This can be enough to push a SOFTWARE modem "over the edge" and cause disconnects But in your case it shouldnt be a problem as your 14.4 is probably hardware and your spec is fast enough to push 36fps constantly.

Whada Ya live in the (Internet) sticks? i know, i know!!! i have a good modem, but it's usb. my os (win98) hates it, so i fell back to an old reliable 14.4. i'll upgrade the modem as soon as i find a fast serial port modem. all the shops round here are usb only... ebay here we come. and i dont want to fiddle with the os, cos i only use it to run gpl, and that works absolutely fine. dr martin

A lot of people suggest slowing down the connection speed to 28.8 anyway. So, if he had a 28.8 modem, would THAT be good enough?
