Dumb (?) GPL / FF Questions

I just picked up a copy of GPL and have been practicing. I hope to be racing some of you online soon (well, within a year or so :) I also picked up a MS FF wheel, and I have a few questions about FF in GPL. I am as new to FF as I am to GPL, so these may have been covered before - if so, please point me to the proper resource (I've read Alison Hine's info as well as a few others). So far, the FF wheel works great - I can feel the resistance of the wheels when driving, I can feel the wheel going nuts when things go out of control, but if I drive along a straight (Watkins Glen) and hang two tires off the edge of the track, so they are obviously bumping on the ground and the driver's hands are jittering, I can't feel it in the wheel (I expected it would feel like 'driving by Braille' like on the freeway.) If I get all four wheels off the track, I can feel the bumping in the wheel. Is this how it should work, or do I need to experiment further? What should I be looking for as far as functionality in playing with the FF settings in core.ini? I just need to get some idea of what is available in the game as far as what forces the game is capable of delivering. My core.ini settings are as follows: [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 force_feedback_damping = 30.000000 force_feedback_latency = 0.03500 max_steering_torque = 225.000000 Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Being new and/or slow can't be a reason. Give it a shot, you'll be sup prized at your average finishing position. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= Racing online with the help of......
