Force Feedback on GPL

Could somebody please tell me how I can get Force Feedback working on GPL, I Have just installed the latest patch but I dont understand the readme file which tells me how to do it. Many Thanks Steve

Simple, in your GPL directory you have a file called Core.ini open this file with note pad add the following line to the file and save. [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; force_feedback_latency = 0.085 ; in seconds force_feedback_damping = 40.0 ; magic number Example: my core ini looks like this.......... [ Int Profile Values ] value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0 ; do not change value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0 ; do not change value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0 ; do not change [ OpenGL ] TossHighestMip = 0 ; MipFiltering = 4 ; MirrorsEvery = 1 ; Now if I was to add force feed back it would look like this...... [ Int Profile Values ] value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0 ; do not change value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0 ; do not change value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0 ; do not change [ OpenGL ] TossHighestMip = 0 ; MipFiltering = 4 ; MirrorsEvery = 1 ; [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; force_feedback_latency = 0.085 ; in seconds force_feedback_damping = 40.0 ; magic number ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------

There is a sample core.ini in the gpl directory called core.ini.sample. Copy and paste the [Joy] section into your new core.ini (assuming you don't have one yet) or your existing core.ini. Play with the latency, damping and torque values. The one in there are just samples. Now go here: http://website.lineone.net/~richardn/Hardware.html and read all about the values. Slot

Just add the following to you core.ini file in your GPL directory. The damping, latency and torque settings are Alisons. You may have to play with different values for your preference [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 40.000000 ; force feedback damping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.085000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 225.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force

Sorry I was wrong. Here are Alison's settings. force_feedback_latency = 0.020000 force_feedback_damping = 1.000000 max_steering_torque = 270.000000

Sorry to keep going on but I've done all that and it still dont work, I know thiers no problem with the wheel as FF works in another racing sim.

If you made your modifications to the core.ini.sample file, you need to rename it to core.ini. Keep trying. Kurt Steven Buglass wrote in message <[email hidden]>... >Sorry to keep going on but I've done all that and it still dont work, I know

Make sure the file is really named core.ini and does not have a hidden extension. Andre On Thu, 6 Jan 2000 19:47:38 -0000, "Steven Buglass"
