GPL Force Feedback for Logictech Wingman USB

3 posts by 2 people · 10 Jul 1999 - 10 Jul 1999

Try these, they need fine tuning still but it seems to give much better ff than the default settings with my Wingman FF. I also have the overall force in the wheel properties set to 130%, I always use this, not just for GPL On Sat, 10 Jul 1999 11:54:53 -0400, "Sean Graham"

***, forgot the settings, here they are:- [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 60.000000 ; force feedbackdamping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.025000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 85.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force On Sat, 10 Jul 1999 11:54:53 -0400, "Sean Graham"

Hi Sean, I've realized an important setting to check when running the Logitech wheel. I was running with "Enable Centering Springs if Force Feedback Games" set to on. Turn this off, in the Game Controllers applet in your control panel. (...or from a right click on your systray "W") I was a little bewildered yesterday when I had my first run with the patch and FF, with the same dismal results that you describe. Then I checked here in RAS and saw everyone raving about the FF effects! I'm pretty confident that you have this setting "on" and killing it will yield much more satisfying results. Q. Why the heck did I have that setting active, anyway? A. Because it's there! "Ug, me set ON. ON good, OFF bad." ;-) Now I can agree, GPL is on top of the FF list with Viper. I still think I need to do some fine tuning with the core.ini settings, especially the latency, but this is definitely some good FF. AND! The day after I get our home network set up behind a Linux NAT! What more could a guy ask for?! Thanks, Randy and Papy! Your initial product was much better, in many ways, than most patched games, yet you gave us this improvement. It's refreshing to see this type of rabid commitment to improvement from a company. Have a great day everyone! Brett
