GPL: joystick and FF?

3 posts by 3 people · 13 Jul 1999 - 13 Jul 1999

I prefer playing GPL with a joystick (and CH pedals), so has anyone tried Force Feedback with a joystick? Are the GPL 1.1 benefits as great with a joystick as for a wheel? And then, what would be the best FF joystick? Thanks! Nicolas
Well, I'm using a MS Sidewinder FF Pro and it works great... the only problem I have is: Playing a racing game with FF = undriveable for me It's very hard to steer, and just doesn't feel good... Maybe you'll like it, but I don't. The only game I enjoyed the FF was FS98, it was really great. Oh, yes, and I was having a problem when playing GPL with FF, the game was in slo-mo all the time... Maybe they made it so that you can enjoy the FF more :-) Dex

Well I'm using the Logitech FF USB and it works great. I can't tell whether the benefits are as great as for a wheel but it definitly adds to the feeling. However i had to adjust the core.ini settings a bit cause the effects were much to strong with the default setup. And my laptimes have dropped a bit - guess i need more training.. ;-) As for the best FF joystick... i think it depends on your needs. You should check out some reviews that are floating around the net. I bought the Logitech cause _I_ felt that it provides better and more subtle effects - and it was less expensive than MSFF (YMMV).
