So, the 1.1 patch seems to be there... :) There has been so much talk of the greatness of the FF-wheel implementation of GPL patch 1.1 that perhaps it now is the time of buying one... But what FF-wheel/pedals is the good/best for GPL 1.1? Arto PS Is it necessary to make all the wonderfull changes to the scenery and everything - that we've got earlier from the net - after using the patch? PS2 Will the new tracks work after the patch? Especially BH, but also the CART and N99 converts?

Since the Logitech is reported to use less CPU cycles to produce a FF effect I would certainly check those first. Especially if GPL is your main concern. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >So, the 1.1 patch seems to be there... :) >There has been so much talk of the greatness of the FF-wheel >implementation of GPL patch 1.1 that perhaps it now is the time >of buying one... >But what FF-wheel/pedals is the good/best for GPL 1.1? >Arto >PS Is it necessary to make all the wonderfull changes to the scenery and > everything - that we've got earlier from the net - after using the > patch? >PS2 Will the new tracks work after the patch?

I love my Logitech wheel, but you should try out as many as you can to see what works best for you. The first thing you must do is read the README 1.1 file that comes with the new patch. It explains all the changes and how to "turn on" force feedback. I had to replace the gpl.exe in the sim with the one from the CD, then load the patch, then run GPL Season to return the Cooper and Honda names to my files. I copied the nessary lines for the core.ini file to implement force feedback and went racin'. None of the scenery or new track files were overwritten or missing. don []-(_)-[]
