Re: GPL - FF help, please.

The allow FF line is already there but it should come with the value set to 0. You must change it to 1. The core.ini comes named core.ini.sample. You must rename it core.ini. Check the dos name in properties and make sure it is exactly core.ini In article <1T3%4.159$[email hidden]>, "m.seery" <[email hidden]> wrote: > Have you got rid of the comment marks ( ; ) on each line?

Okay, so I finally got the 1.2 patch to work (nobody told me I had to add the files to the GPL directory ;-)), but I�m not having a lot of luck with force feedback. Like I haven�t got any. The readme file suggests adding the line: [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 but it�s already there. Likewise: force_feedback_latency = 0.085 ; in seconds force_feedback_damping= 40.0 ; magic number max_steering_torque = 225.0 ; in Newton-inches So what am I doing wrong? My system: Celeron 433 Voodoo 3 2000 64mb RAM Microsoft FF wheel and pedals Thanks guys * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

This problem is usually caused by an incorrectly named core.ini file. This may occur if you have chosen to have Windows hide file extensions for known file types. To check the name of the file where you have made the force feedback entry changes, open Explorer, browse to the GPL folder and right click on the file you think is called core.ini. Choose Properties from the pop-up menu. In the General properties there will be an MS-DOS filename property. Check what this is. If it is not CORE.INI then the file is not named correctly. To rename the file, you first need to display file extensions. To do this, click on the View menu in Explorer and select Folder Options (or Options in Windows 95). Click on the View tab and look in the Advanced Settings display. Under the Files and Folders tree untick the "Hide file extensions for known file types" box and select OK. The file called core.ini in Explorer will now be called something else (probably core.ini.sample). Right click on the file and choose Rename from the pop-up menu. Enter the name core.ini and click off the icon. The icon will change to a pad with lines on with a cog in the bottom right hand corner. You should now get force feedback in GPL. This if course assumes you have a force feedback device. :-) Cheers Phil * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

Have you got rid of the comment marks ( ; ) on each line? If they are there, they rem the line out. MS "Craig Jones" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Only remove the ";"'s at the front of the lines!! -Not the ones behind the numbers! Also, if you're using WinVROC make sure you don't override your FF settings (advanced tab) when connecting.

Thanks, guys ;-) Renaming core.ini(.sample) worked, and now the 'ring is even harder (but more fun!). * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!
