I keep reading messages about FF (Force Feedback?) in GPL on this newsgroup. Whats the story? Is someone just starting rumors or are they actually going to come up with a patch hich ads FF to GPL? If this is true where can I find more info?

There will be a patch 1.1 shortly. This has been confirmed several times here at ras by Randy Cassidy one of the key people in developing GPL. No specific time was given but it shouldn't be long. The patch will also improve online support and a couple of small issues. Read back posts and look fro Randys name if you want the direct scoop. It's also on the news page at The Apex.

Jimmy... GPaL, the new, soon-to-be-released GPL interface, will fully support GPL 1.1. I expect that by the end of the day (9:00 pm EDT, 0100 GMT) updated screenshots will be up on the GPaL site (www.RaceLive.com/GPaL ) which might give you a little insight into what's in store in GPL 1.1. These GPaL screenshots, as revealing as there are, are being made available to you with Papy's blessing. Thanks, Papy! Take a look! Jack Rambo www.RaceLive.com/GPaL

Well I couldnt find any posts by Randy Cassidy as to where he stated that the next version will have force feedback but what I did find I was able to change my whole setup driving GPL. I found I can still use my Logitech Formula Force Wheel and in turn with it also use my CH Pro-Pedals. Reguardless of whether the new GPL patch has FF or not (sure hope it does) now I'll be able to fully compete with the best GPL drivers and start beating my original record times. Thanks for the info it helped me a bunch! See you on VROC!

If you look at Jack Rambo's GPaL screen shot at www.RaceLive.com/GPaL under general settings tab / control set, a little hint of things to come...
