GPL & Force Feedback

I have upgraded GPL with the available patch and have followed the instructions as to changing the force feedback switch in the core.ini file to 1. There still seems to be no force feedback though. A couple of things. 1) My file shows to be named core.ini.sample or at least has a file type of sample 2) I'm using a MSFF wheel. Are there other changes that need to be made. I'm using the same profile as Nascar 2/3 and the wheel works great, but just seemingly has no force feedback at all. BTW, I set GPL to 1600x1200 to see what it would do on a PIII-600 and it ran like an absolute champ. 8-) Just ran practice at Monaco though. Saw things I had never noticed before.

You need to delete or rename your existing core.ini file and rename or copy the core.ini.sample file to core.ini. Then edit the new core.ini file to enable the force feedback. Good racing, Keith.

Actually he just needs to copy his existing core.ini.sample to core.ini (like it says in the readme). The confusing thing is the default Windows explorer attribute is for the filename extensions to be hidden so core.ini.sample shows up as core.ini (when in fact it is really core.ini.sample). All you have to do is go to the explorer view/folder options. Then click on the view tab and make sure the box for 'show all files' is checked and the box for 'hide file extensions of known files' is unchecked. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
