I read the review about the Logitech FF wheel at www.mgprs2.com : "You can experience the sliding of the car and lack of grip" it says. Allthough I can experience all of the other FF-effects in MGPRS2, sliding and lack of grip are effects I've never experienced with my wheel. I've downloaded the latest drivers and patches but nothing will help. Is there anybody who knows the solution of my problem? It would be so much more fun. Thanks, Ruud

Hello Ruud, Sorry to be a bit picky but there's only one solution: Switch over to GPL. Compared to this sim the so-called FF effects in MGPRS2 are really pathetic! Try it and believe it. The only effects you really feel in MGPRS2 (besides a nice (but useless) down-shift vibe) are those when you're already off the track (IMO) thus too late. Once again if you really want to experience state-of-the-art FF: GPL!!!!!!!! (IMO this simulator beats MGPRS2 (or whatever other race-sim) on every other aspect too (even without FF)). Jan.

Thanks Jan, I do know now there is nothing wrong with the wheel but are the most exiting parts of FF missing in MGPRS2 (and most other Racing sims) Maybe it's time for GPL. I havn't heard a bad thing about it. Except that it's certainly not easy. But isn't that the fun of playing sims. Greetings, Ruud

Please please, don't turn this into another GPL is better conversation! The only problem with MGPRS2 is that the all effects except the kerbs are very weak....... they are there but they are very weak..... theres not much you can do but set the force to as high a setting as you can and get the .dll file from F1RS if you can, its different but some people perefer it

> Thanks Jan, > I do know now there is nothing wrong with the wheel but are the most exiting > parts of FF missing in MGPRS2 (and most other Racing sims) I don't know about other sims (I've heard that Viper Racing does a good FF job too) but I do know that something definitely is missing in MGP. I own the LWFF for a month now and had it demonstrated to several friends. I start with MGPRS2 and they say: Hey that's cool, you can actually notice you're on the grass or hit that wall.....yeah, right! Then I switch over to GPL and they are really stunned! Enough said. Go and get GPL (have a look at www.interactcd.com, I bought it for US$15 + US$10 shipping), you won't be disappointed. Take into account you won't appreciate MGP anymore however. Jan.
