GPL Forcefeed Back

I just purchased an ACT LABS RS force wheel. I have uninstalled and re-installed GPL and patched it with the latest patch. I have gone into the core.ini and set the force feedback to "1" to enable the effects. I have spent alot of time just trying to get this wheel to work with GPL to no avail. Can anyone help me, please? The wheel works fine in all other games and is immediately recognized when force feedback is enabled. The wheel works fine in GPL for plain driving, much better than my old joystick did. I would really like to get the force feedback working in GPL. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I have the wheel hooked up through my USB port currently. I also tried through the serial port, but still no force effects in GPL. I have also completely uninstalled and re-installed the wheel, as well as updated the ACT LABS wheel with the latest drivers from their web site. Running Win98 2nd Edition, 128 MB Ram, 2 Voodoo2 12 meg cards, P2-450 Compaq Deskpro computer. All diagnostics say the wheel is installed and working correctly. All effects work perfectly in the control panel test screen for the ACT LABS wheel and pedals. Thanks, Reid G.

Your core.ini should look like this: [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; 0 = No * 1 = Yes force_feedback_latency = 0.035 ; Default = 0.085 force_feedback_damping = 30.0 ; Default = 40.0 max_steering_torque = 450.0 ; Default = 225.0 Make sure there are no semicolons in front of the lines. Also make sure the file is really named core.ini by showing the complete file names in Explorer. Sometimes an extra extension is present. - Bart Westra
