Best Force Feedback Games Driving / otherwise

Just curious to know what you people out there recommend as the best FF games available today. At the moment I have a ferrari force feedback wheel playing GP3, Colin McRae Rally 1 and Need for Speed 3 Hot Pursuit. Would appreciate users comments on other interesting FF driving games. cheers Shivy Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Shivvy, Your probably expecting this, posting to r.a.s. as you have, but GPL has to have the most realistic FF effects of any driving game. I've played all of those you list, plus many more and there really is nothing to beat GPL. You can even feel the engine shake through the wheel as you blip the throttle. The main I think with FF is to be able to feel the tire grip on the road and warn you of loss of grip/traction BEFORE you see the results. Most games will give you a jolt when you hit the wall, or judder as you ride the rumble-strips but this isn't what FF should all be about IMO. In this respect the next best game for me was TOCA2, very realistic in this regard when you are on the limit, with my ACT Labs Force RS, although felt odd on an MS FF. Viper Racing, which you may see in a bargain bin also felt very realistic to me (only played the demo) Of the newer games, Nascar Heat is pretty good IMO.

Viper Racing with patch 1.1 is also has very good FF. And it is the best sim out there to simulate Todays sportscars (vipers ;) /Thomas <[email hidden]> skrev i meddelandet news:8uejof$tj$[email hidden]...

I have a MSFF game port one and I cant get the ff set up right on GPL at all. I have ff turned off. Its difficult to get set up, on gpl Thomas Heineman wrote:

My votes go to GPL (well duh...), Viper Racing and Need For Speed 5 - Porsche Unltd. /petern

Yep, same here, the MSFF/GPL and force feedback is a backdraw in fps, I use it without ff. I also have a new Act-Labs wheel but it seems to be something wrong with it, it will not work properly with GPL or any other sim for that matter.

Apart from GPL of course I'd say that Viper Racing has the best FF. It seems to be a much forgotton game as there's not much talk of it round here which is a shame because it really is very good indeed and apart from having a cracking good driver model it great fun multi-player. Need for Speed Porsche is pretty good and is a good arcade /sim compromise and it's rather good fun hairing around sideways. TOCA2's FF is gain pretty good and again has quite a good arcade/sim compromise. GP3 and F1 2000 on the other hand have crap FF and Colin McRae Rally is even worse. Rally Championship has the best FF in a rally game and looks really stunning but somehow the handling doesn't feal quite right. don't get me wrong it's good fun but the cars seem to lack that weighty feel you get in Viper and GPL and Colin McRae (the suspension doen't seem to move about it as if you're in a go-kart) Very good FF mind you. You can get GPL and Viper Racing in the bargin bin and it'll be the bet �10 you ever spend. -- Some Call Me Tim

Thanx Guys .... Will try and get my hands on GPL and Viper racing ASAP.... cheers Shivy In article <_MeP5.8686$[email hidden]>, "Some Call Me Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote: > Apart from GPL of course I'd say that Viper Racing has the best FF.It seems > to be a much forgotton game as there's not much talk of it round herewhich > is a shame because it really is very good indeed and apart fromhaving a > cracking good driver model it great fun multi-player. > > Need for Speed Porsche is pretty good and is a good arcade /simcompromise > and it's rather good fun hairing around sideways. > > TOCA2's FF is gain pretty good and again has quite a good arcade/sim > compromise. > > GP3 and F1 2000 on the other hand have crap FF and Colin McRae Rallyis even > worse. > > Rally Championship has the best FF in a rally game and looks reallystunning > but somehow the handling doesn't feal quite right. don't get me wrongit's > good fun but the cars seem to lack that weighty feel you get in Viperand > GPL and Colin McRae (the suspension doen't seem to move about it as if > you're in a go-kart) Very good FF mind you. > > You can get GPL and Viper Racing in the bargin bin and it'll be thebet �10 > you ever spend. > > -- > Some Call Me Tim > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
