GPL and MS Sidewinder Wheel FF USB: FPS drop!

Hi! Yesterday I got my new MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Whell USB and tried it with GPL. Without Force Feedback in GPL I get FPS of 35-36! If I use Force Feedback in GPL my FPS drop to 17-20! Whats wrong? My System: ASUS T2P4, Socket 7, AMD K6-2 400, 64MB, Voodoo 3 2000 PCI Sidewinder Software 4.0 Direct X 7.0a PS: Driving fast with a wheel is difficult, because I'm used to driving with a joystick! What are recommendations for the settings in CORE.INI? Should I use high sensitivity for the wheel or low? What about the deadzone? What are the best links for wheel driving? Thanks, Gerhard Weinberger, Austria Sorry, no GPLRank: Damn Ring!!!

the ms sidewinder ff uses the pc's cpu for handling the ff stuff, the logitech doesnt "Gerhard Weinberger" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
