I have the Logitech Formula Force USB wheel and noticed the forces have become weaker as of late. I have the latest drivers and have some feedback during testing the buttons but they are weak. I thought maybe the wheel has gone bad and replaced it with a new unit but there is no difference. I mainly play GPL and yes I did edit the core.ini , and N3. Although there are forces present they are very weak. My system AMD k6 400 SB Live 128 meg ram Voodoo 3 3000

I thought If no one here can help, try posting on this site. http://www.force-1.com/ I just got my LWFF, so I'm no expert. The feedback from the test page seem quite strong to me, but since mine is new, I have nothing to compare to. Andy

Unfortunately I still can't get Nascar3 to recognize my wheel at all - FF or not. Are you folks using Game Profiles at all? If so, would you be willing to share them? Thanks.

Andy, Wow, I'm not sure what to suggest. I am not even loading the Wingman software at startup, nor using a game profile. Does your wheel show up under Game Contollers in Win9x? The only thing I can think of, is maybe try the Clear Calibration Utility from the Gadgets page. http://www.wingmanteam.com/Latest_Software/Gadgets/gadgets.htm After you clear the registry, set the wheel up again, then go try it in N3.

Did you change back to the retail (CD) drivers by accident? Jens >I have the Logitech Formula Force USB wheel and noticed the forces >have become weaker as of late. I have the latest drivers and have <snip> --------------------------------------------- Remove "NOSPAM" before using my email-address

1) Be sure to get the latest drivers with the "Launch Logitech Software Update" option. 2) I have my control panel setting at 130% for over-all and dampening, and 100% for spring. Also, make sure you turn off spring tension in FF games. 3) Make sure core.ini has the following settings: [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 40.000000 ; force feedback damping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.000000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 225.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >I have the Logitech Formula Force USB wheel and noticed the forces >have become weaker as of late.

No profiles here. 1) Plug wheel into USB. 2) reboot 3) Go to the control panel properties and make sure the wheel is on ID#1, Over all and dampening forces set to 130%, spring force set to 100%. Then make sure you uncheck the box for spring effects in FF games. Check the box for combined axis. 4) run N3 5) Go to controller options within the game and calibrate joystick #1. 6) Assign your buttons and axis as you wish. That is all I did and it worked, it should for you. There are no moving parts which will make this procedure complicated :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
