SODA: force feedback?

I couldn't resist the poor, innocent, sierra sports box marked at $9.99 at Best Buy, so I gave one copy of SODA a home today. I never realized this game was programmed with I-force's force feedback, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with my logitech FF. Do I need special drivers, or is there any other way to get the force working? Soda seems like a good way to take out aggression between hopeless efforts to break the 1:11 barrier at the glen in gpl. Thanks. Brian Fox http://www.geocities.com/~foxman H lp! S m b d st l ll th v w ls fr m m k yb rd!

Hi Brian, I can't remember what readme file it's in (I think for the Logitech), but SODA is known and listed incompatible with the Logitech I-force implementation. No fix or patch exists AFAIK. Too bad, SODA is second on my list of "games I wish had force feedback." A while back, when I first got my Logitech, I bashed FF technology as a joke. However, with some tweaking and playing, I can now say that some FF effects done correctly (eg. Viper Racing) can be quite a fun addition to driving. If no one else has the location of the SODA information, I'll dig it up later. Brett

While the logitech wheel is I-force 2.0- i doubt it is backward compatible with I-Force 1.0 stuff like Soda.... Sorry, but i think you're out of luck. Z.

Duh, now that I think about it I do remember reading that list of incompatible games. Disregard my idiocy. :) Brian Fox http://www.geocities.com/~foxman H lp!
