FF in GPL?

I must have missed something, I hear some of you talk about Force Feedback in GPL, where is that patch? I't not the 1.2 patch, is it? I have that patch for quite a while now, or is there a new version available, and if yes, where? Thanks, Geert Jan Poelman

It is in the 1.2 patch. You can enable it using a file named core.ini (if you have the "Hide extentions for know file types" option turned on in Windows explorer it will appear to be called "core"). Open core.ini with a text editor and look for a section called [ Joy ] and set the "allow_force_feedback" option to 1. Other settings can be tweaked to preference. Here are mine. [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 48.000000; force feedback damping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.005000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 285.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

You need lines in the core.ini for it to run.. something like this: [Joy] allow_force_feedback = 1 force_feedback_damping = 100.0 force_feedback_latency = 0.03 max_steering_torque = 600.0 [Hack] steer_ratio = 0 ; to keep steering ratio constant in slow corners **just an example** "Geert Jan Poelman" wrote:

Also the file installed by the 1.2 patch is called "core.ini.sample", it's a dummy file, and it doesn't work until you rename it to just "core.ini". "Geert Jan Poelman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9kjfkv$14d$[email hidden]...
