Hi. I just got this GP 3 game, but I can't get any ForceFeedback out of it. I have installed the official patch, so now my buttons work, but not FF. Why the h... did they not use Windows' information? I can't think of any other modern game, where you have to calibrate your controller in the game itself. Can it work? How do I set it up then? I have a MS ForceFeedback Wheel (the USB model) -- -- Sven

I have the same wheel and get FFB in GP3. There is an option to trun it on and off under advanced controllers. -- eFalcon keyboard chart in PDF format http://storm.prohosting.com/~nos146/ef4_keys.zip

I have turned it on there, and actually I get a tiny little FF, as the car is pulling a little to the left, but that's it. No FF when driving on the curbes, no centering of the wheel when accelerating like in GPL, no shaking in the wheel when outside the track. Even EA's Championship 2000 has a better FF. -- -- Sven

Yes, I had the same problem. The file I downloaded and ran was some tiny little thing called wheelfix.zip weighing in at about 40 kB. Fixed the force feedback with my MSFF in GP3. GMF "rik anthrax" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:rw%M6.2872$[email hidden]...

Thanks. I have now downloaded this file (wheelfix.zip), unpacked it, and tried to run it, but nothing happens! In the readme.txt I saw something about a key this program would make a backup of in the same dir as the program itself, but nothing happens. I can see a black DOS-windows for a split-second, and that's it. Is it because I'm running windows2000? Or is it because I have the new USB MS FF Wheel? -- -- Sven

I ran it on Win98 and got the same thing. Maybe it doesn't make a backup if the raw codes are already there? -- eFalcon keyboard chart in PDF format http://storm.prohosting.com/~nos146/ef4_keys.zip

Ok, Win2K and MSFF stuff are not a great combo. I've heard that people don't load the SW softeware on Win2K because it causes a slow down in the games with the FFB on. -- eFalcon keyboard chart in PDF format http://storm.prohosting.com/~nos146/ef4_keys.zip
