LWFF & GPL Not working

4 posts by 3 people · 21 Aug 1999 - 21 Aug 1999

Hi, I have tried everything and cannot get this thing working...it works under win 98 and the tests all work properly. It functions with F1 and Motorhead, but nothing in GPL 1.1...I have enabled FF in the core.ini file...what gives? Any help would be greatly appreciated... -- Thank You, Dennis Sublett "Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God." "Cats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit."

Strange. Graeme Nash is having the same kind of problem with an MS FF wheel. Check these: 1. Is core.ini placed in the GPL directory (typically c:\sierra\gpl, maybe on another drive) and is it really called core.ini? To check this look with Windows Explorer in the GPL directory. Go to View - Options for the plain version or to View - Folder options - View for the active desktop version. Make sure that "Show all files" is checked, and that "Hide file extensions for known file types" is UNchecked. If the file is called core.ini.xxx, select it by clicking once, press F2 and remove .xxx, press Enter. 2. In the core.ini, the ff settings must appear like this: [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 force_feedback_latency = 0.085 force_feedback_damping = 40.0 max_steering_torque = 450.0 Values are to my liking, use your own preference. What's important is that the settings appear under the [ Joy ] header and that they do not have a semicolon in front. If these things don't help, contact Papyrus.

The default file is called core.ini.sample. Did you ever rename this file to core.ini? Or did you always have a core.ini. There is a w98 setting to Hide the extensions of files. By default you may not have seen that the filename is really core.ini.sample. IMHO they would have done better to name that file core.sample. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >Hi, >I have tried everything and cannot get this thing working...it works under >win 98 and the tests all work properly.
