Does anyone know of one yet? Or has anyone managed to get a Thrustmaster GT Force Feedback wheel to work with it? Thanks

Why should there be a patch for GPL? It's your wheel that ain't working, so ask Thrustmaster to do something about it. -- Mea***er ICQ 25198907

Well there are bugs in GPL especially online. And it maybe GPL and not his wheel - who are we to say? Cheers, Paul

Papyrus has posted here that they are aware of problems with GPL that will cause digital controlling devices to not work in GPL. Besides, Thrustmaster and Papyrus are working together to find a solution. % -- % Mea***er % ICQ 25198907 % >Does anyone know of one yet?

Don't openly say that GPL needs a patch or you'll find some really vitriolic posts coming your way. I suggested FF support would be a benefit and got shouted down so much you'd have thought I'd said that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus or something. Be careful around these parts. You could slag off any other game though, that seems to be OK. Dean

Merely suggesting the need for a patch to GPL is not a high crime - in fact, GPL is need of a patch - not a dire need, but a need nonetheless. Anyone that's driven the sim knows this, and is probably as eager as I am to see one hit the streets. And for all those people that despise GPL (for whatever reason) should also be loking forward to a patch so they can use the existance of the patch to further substantiate their claim that GPL sucks. So you see, a patch, in the end, serves everybody's purpose. Everyone will be happy to see such a patch. everyone wins.

Strangely enough I too saw that thread, and I recall it to be along the lines of "FF would be great if it was done properly, but with current FF it would most likely be a waste of efort". The vitriol meter didn't peg at all (or at least no higher than usual in these parts!). I'd love FF in GPL, but if I'm going ot get "shake the wheel when I hit the wall" then forget it. You need something which communicates the grip level of the tyre, locking, wheelspin, track bumps, that sort of thing. TOCA2 has a fair stab at it. Cheers! John

Probably me being over sensitive. MGPRS2 has pretty good FF. You get jolts as the gears change, rumbles over bump strip, steering pulls if you put a wheel on the grass but best of all is the way the resistance lessens as you lose the front end. This improved my times as I can tell exactly when the front starts to slide. The comment in the manual about FF only being good enough to let you know when you've crashed is a cop out IMHO. Dean
