Gamecards- DX7 or Generic Driver

4 posts by 4 people · 16 Nov 1999 - 19 Nov 1999

While I wait for my PDPI card, I thought I'd ask if people using the PDPI card are using the DX7 driver or the Generic driver, especially in GPL. I am using the CH Automatic card at the moment, and get good results using the generic driver. Also with my TSW2 the on screen wheel doesn't jitter as much. During Win calibration the cross hairs are steady, but in GPL, the onscreen wheel jitters with DX7, but is almost steady with generic. This is with new Spectrol pots. So what's everyone using? And yes I've seen Eric's survey:) -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Official member: Screamers Racing League Sim Racing Mag Honda Challenge NASROC ---------------- Busch Motorsports: Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward ----------------- Busch Carpentry: Plans?, Oh, you mean that napkin sketch?

It really depends what you mean. The PDPI will not work with Microsoft's force feedback controllers. They use the MIDI lines of a soundcard gameport to transmit force information. Other force feedback devices should work fine, but since they are mostly USB or serial port devices, there should be no need for a gameport at all. The only force feedback devices I can imagine using with a PDPI would be an old CH ForceFX stick, which uses both the gameport AND the serial port, or perhaps a Logitech wheel on USB and a pair of analog pedals on the PDPI.
