That's because it's in the 1.1 readme not the 1.2 readme. Since no one else will help just add the following to your core.ini file. Or you can go to my site and download the whole core.ini with the force feedback turned on, the link is in my signature. [ 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 -- Jeff Murchison JR Screamers League Admin www.speakeasy.org/~jmurch > I don't see anything in the read me about FF? > -- > Kevin Anderson > --------------------------------------------------- > DK-Racing > #15 K_Anderson > ------------------------------------------------- > http://www.awtech.net/ > http://www.nascar-3.com/ > > >subject says it all > > Get the GPL 1.2.0.1 patch at > > http://www.papy.com/ > > Read the readme file what comes with it... > > Remco

At the same time, try to increase the damping to something about 10 to 30 timer bigger than 40. One guy here (sorry, I don't remember your name) suggested 1200, but I found that too weird, so I settled with 600. The FF is much more detailed at high damping numbers. -- Olav K.

I use the MSFF. I found out that I could feel the track a lot more with the higher damping setting. I don't know how to explain it, but it felt a lot "harder". The weight changes and suspention movements are better felt too. Try it out, because my bad english can't describe it. And I sure don't know technically whats going on :) -- Olav K.

Well glad to hear you are using the Micrsoft wheel as well. I have never messed with the default force feedback settings before. I will try your tip out tonight and will let you know how it turns out.

I tried the 600 setting last night and loved it. I even set a personal best at Silverstone with a 1:28.51. At first it was a little hard to get used to because of all the force but after I got over that I had much more control over the car, I could feel more about how the car was griping the road.
