FF Wheels in DOS games.

Hi, (Im new here) I noticed in Dejanews (Its got a better searcher) that some one was asking about using FF wheels in DOS games. I have a SideWinder Wheel that uses the SoundBlaster game/midi port, this works fine in all the racing games i have (Listed below) as long as they are run through Windows. Europress RAC Rally (No FF) Grandprix 2 (No FF) TOCA 1 (Little FF) Need For Speed 3 (Demo) (***FF) Viper Racing (Demo) (Too much FF) Cart Precision Racing (Good FF) Monster truck Madness (Some FF) I tried running GP2 in DOS but the steering dissapeared and turned to the right, (I didn't try recalibrating it). This as far as I know is the best wheel that uses the Gameport and is a bit out date now for its interface usage (Just a big bit). But it shows that Microsoft do actually sometimes (not very often) think about users of older systems/programms. Wallace [link lost in import] GP2 Cameras

Agreed. This sim has the most realistic FF effects today... Really bad effects. Some arcade ripping and jumping, but... Of course, it depends on your personal viewpoint, which FF effects are good or bad. I only like them if they give some usefull feedback instead of just telling me that I hit a wall... ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
