I just bought N4 and a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel (USB) and everything works fine except I can't get the FF part of it to work in Nascar4. It seems to work ok in the settings in Control Panel, but not in the game. When in the control options in the game you can't check or uncheck ForceFeedback, its greyed out. Any help appreciated Wheeler
I had the same thing, except not with the usb version. Assuming you have the most recent versions of Direct-X and the MS joystick software, you must use the Direct Input option (not the optimized one) in the controller menu in n4. First off, I created a new profile for n4 in the ms joystick software. After calibration in n4, and setting my steering wheel, throttle, etc in n4, for some reason the force feedback option was no longer greyed out, and then I was able to adjust the FF....hope that helps....

Pick the other joystick driver in the game and the box will be available to turn on ff but it's not very good :( Don "Wheeler" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3a88415f$0$1513$[email hidden]...

I'm pretty sure I have DX8, and I'm using the software that came with the wheel. I was using the Direct Input option....I'll try reinstalling and see if that helps. Thanks Wheeler "Wheeler" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3a88415f$0$1513$[email hidden]...
