>Is it true that the logitec doesn't run with all FF games like the Microsoft >does ???? Yeah sure I think you are right. Are you making this up as you go? BTW, what exactly is a 'logitec' anyway? The Logitech Wingman Formula Force works with all Windows games as far as I know. I would be very interested to know where you got that information. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

No, that's not true at all. I use the LWFF with GPL, F1RS, MGPRS2, Colin McRae, SCGT, Viper Racing and (gulp) NFSIII and the force feedback works very well in all of them. don [|]-(_)-[|] >Is it true that the logitec doesn't run with all FF games like the Microsoft >does ???? >kind regards, >Pascal.
Carmageddon 2 doesn't work with the LWFF but does work with the microsoft plastic thingy. Andre On Sat, 17 Jul 1999 06:13:04 -0700, "don hodgdon"

What you may be thinking of the API compatibility. There are 3 force-feedback formats. I-force- used only for the CH fx Joystick I think. Controllers using this API are compatible with all FF games. However, the games written specifically for I-force are not compatible with DirectInput or I-Force 2 controllers. I-force 2- The major API right now. Most FF controllers use this API. Logitech, AVB, ACT, Thrustmaster all use it. It is compatible with games written for both I-force 2 and DirectInput. DirectInput- The Microsoft FF API. Used for Interact, Microsoft and Saitek controllers. Games written for this API are compatible with both DirectInput and I-Force 2 controllers. I force 2 and DirectInput specific controllers and games have differing feels to them. Running a DirectInput controller on a DirectInput game generally runs much better. The same can be said of I-force 2 controllers and games. The best examples of this are running a I-force 2 controller with NFS3 or 4. The effects are much better than when using a DirectInput device. -- Sam Mancuso Visit The Control Center for the latest PC Game Controller News, Reviews and Information!
