Hi all,
I recently installed Win2K on my system and have been dual booting
between that and WinME. I would now like to try to get my sims to run
in Win2K (mainly GPL \ N4 \ GP3 \ F1CS2K \ F1RC) and just wondered
whether anyone here had succesfully managed to get a MSFF wheel
running under Win2K as I seem to remember there being some problems
with it.
If anyone could advise me on this I would be very grateful.
Thanks
PH

No problem here, although if you do have problems, try unplugging it
while in the Game Controllers dialog, and replug.
It has no options, that's the only problem; split axis all the time.

Therefore you have to install the wheel using win2000 in-built driver, which
means u are left without force/return to center strength settings, no
profiler and no sensitivity/deadzone can be adjusted. The wheel still works,
even ff effects work, but u'd need to adjust to different "feel" on the
wheel then for example in Win98 with MS software installed... e.g. its a
pain in the ass :-/
hope this helps in anyway,

In a nutshell,
A gameport MSFF wheel WON'T work in W2k
A USB MSFF wheel *should* work in W2k

I've got the gameport MSFF working under Win 2K just dandy.
No software - but the drivers that come with Win2K give me split axis fully
functioning MSFF

Well, it works here, but without settings.

Sorry, I should have said the MSFF SOFTWARE that comes with each wheel.
Either wheel will work with the drivers that are in Win2k, but you dont get
the profiler or ability to change the deadzone etc...

Yes sorry, I meant to say the profiler software.
