Hello players, after installing the Microsoft Sidewinder FF-Wheel, any Multiplayer-connection, client or host, will be disconnecting after a few seconds. Thrustmaster without FF work 100% ok. Tried out different core.ini, but did not work. Microsoft-Hotline did not have any idea. Who can help me? Timo
I'm quite sure it isn't MS FF to blame, try to find reason from somewhere else :)

What are your system spec's? There are about 10 or so guys I know and race with that have the wheel and have no problems at all. -- Jeff Murchison (Murchman) http://members.tripod.com/grandprixlegends > I'm quite sure it isn't MS FF to blame, try to find reason from somewhere > else :) > >Hello players, > >after installing the Microsoft Sidewinder FF-Wheel, any > >Multiplayer-connection, client or host, will be disconnecting after a few > >seconds.

Are you getting around 32 or more frames per second with the FF enabled? Perhaps the FF is loading up the CPU and affecting your connection.
Me and a friend of mine have add exactly the same problem from the day we bought a ms ff wheel .. it's not gpl 1.1 related .. sometimes the ms ff utility in the tray (swtray) slows down *ALL* internet tranfers including GPL (you can see this easely with a FTP transfer or with outlook). The only workaround i have found is to click on "suspend" in this icon, and it solves magically the problem (and the ff still works). Unfortunatly it throw away the pre-programmed buttons on the ms ff wheel sorry for my bad english PS: it the same with the latest drivers from microsoft Olivier
