Ok I have changed my setting for FF to; [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; enables Force Feedback force_feedback_latency = 0.005 ; in seconds force_feedback_damping = 200.0 ; magic number max_steering_torque = 300.0 ; in Newton-inches (???!!@#) But I have never felt a wiggle, a jolt, a curb or even a blade of grass when I was off road. These work in other games...SCGT, F1 2K2 and MTM. Also is there a differance in core.ini.sample and the core.ini files? Because my Core.ini. file has ... [rasterizer] fullscreen=1 nothing else is in that file, but core.ini.sample has server, client and joystick settings which are above, as well as other settings. Should these seeting be in the core.ini file?
You should use the default settings--they were developed for the MS FFB wheel. Also, see Kevin's message... Marc "sxty9GTO" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

you need to delete the '.sample' bit off the end of core.ini.sample (like it says in the D3D readme) core.ini is read by GPL, core.ini.sample isn't so it's ignoring your settings.

This is what I am using. This is for the USB wheel (you didn't mention which one you have). My guess would be that you have way too much damping. I have spent a lot of time working on this, and following a definite procedure to do it -- but it's never perfect. Mine are also a compromise between the feel of the F1 and F2 cars. [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 force_feedback_damping = 2 force_feedback_latency = 0.02 max_steering_torque = 410 -Garth
