Ok, here's what you have to do. Look in your gpl folder and you will find a file named core.ini.sample. Open that file in a text editor like Notepad. In this file you will find a header [Joy]. Under that header you need the line allow_force_feedback = 1. The line should already be there. You just have to change the value from 0 to 1. Now, rename core.ini.sample file to core.ini, and you're in force feedback business. Also, go here: http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/ for a more in depth view of FF and GPL.

Hello all, Here it is. I ve got now logitech force feedback formula wheel and gpl currently running. GPL is the 1.2.0.1 version. I started today using the wheel and i dont have feedback effects. It is also quite difficult to manage the car. What should i do in order to use them properly ? Thanks for your help, Bertrand

Hello remco, Here it is. Now i have the wheel. GPL is 1.2.0.1; I started using the wheel but i dont have force feedback effects. The car is also difficult to drive. What should i do in order to use them properly ? Thanks for your help, Bertrand.

1st go back into windows explorer and MAKE SURE the core.ini.sample was properly renamed core.ini not core.ini.txt or anything else. Just core.ini then double check your windows settings. To make sure your wheel is properly setup within windows. Test it in the control panel area (start-settings-control panel-game controllers.) make sure the wheel gets an OK on the first screen. Then clik the advanced tab at the top and make sure the wheel is listed as the first device in the number 1 position. Then go back to the first screen by cliking on the General tab. Press the properites button and then the Settings button. Make sure the "combined Axis" box is NOT checked but also make sure the "Enable force feedback" button IS checked. then move the three sliders up near 130 to 150%. the last box is the centering spring, for gpl that box should be UNchecked (for N3 I use it and check it.) press close...move your wheel and pedals around, you should see the pedal gauges moving independantly of each other...then press ok and your done there. restart GPL, go to options and recalibrate your 1 and 2 joysticks, selecting the wheel box on the right, re-assign your axis settings for steering and braking etc and you should be ready to go. good luck, have fun dave henrie Bertrand Clech wrote:

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but not all axes in the GPL calib screen are used for the lwff. Does the calib screen recognize your wheel and pedals? Have you set the pedals to split axis in the windows joystick applet? Andre

Bertrand, I guess you changed from or to split axis. In this case the assignments are messed up. BTW: You *have* to use split axis, anything else is :-( Jens
