Hi, When i play games that don't use forcefeedback directly (grand prix legends, etc), i lose force when i press one of the buttons on my MS Siderwinder FF Wheel. I only get it back when i keep pressing one of the buttons. This is very strange. Has anyone experienced this also ? And what is the solution ? Is it a hardware problem or software ? -- Best regards, Met vriendelijke groeten, Rolf Janssen Http : http://members.tripod.com/WinJar

How high is your spring centering effect set to? I believe I had mine set to 25%. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >Hi, >When i play games that don't use forcefeedback directly (grand prix >legends, etc), i lose force when i press one of the buttons on my >MS Siderwinder FF Wheel. >I only get it back when i keep pressing one of the buttons. >This is very strange. >Has anyone experienced this also ?

In F1RS it ended up enhancing the FF effect tremendously. I found that more was not necessarily better :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
