Re: MS FF wheel USB with Sports Car GT too...

I'm not sure about the USB version, but the first release of drivers for the MSFF that used the normal ports, REALLY bogged many games down. Perhaps they reverted to old stable code when first preparing the drivers for the USB version. Start Emailing MS before the Become MS1 MS2 and MS3. dave henrie Simon Brown wrote:

I'm not that familiar with the MSFF, but are you running some kind of profiler or editor with it? -- Slot www.slottweak.com Tweaks & Reviews "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OZnO4.5452$[email hidden]... > Ok, I thought it was just GPL, but in Sports Car GT with the Force feedback > turned on (in the options screen in the game) I get less than 20 fps all the > time.

Ok, I thought it was just GPL, but in Sports Car GT with the Force feedback turned on (in the options screen in the game) I get less than 20 fps all the time. But using the keyboard, or switching FF off the frame rate soars to about 45 fps! I thought USB was supposed to be fast, what's going on? This wheel is supposed to have a processor in it. Any ideas? Simon.

Only the one i'm supposed to use that comes with the wheel on the CD. Actually, i've already tried disabling (unloading) it and it made no difference. I've also just tried the wheel in a second PC with a different MB and I got exactly the same problem. Looks like it's going back in the morning and i'll be stuck with always locking brakes in GPL with my Wingman FF. Simon.

Actually, through all Microsoft billions (slight exaggeration) of pages of "support" I couldn't find an e-mail address anywhere! It seems they do all they can to stop a real human being having to deal with your problem. I do have a phone number though, so i'll try it, but it looks like the wheel is going back. Real shame though, the pedals are superb and the FF is pretty good. Thanks for the help.
