GPL FF: Not feeling enough

Is there a way, to anybody's knowledge, to adjust FF in GPL to feel the bumps in the road and vibration going at 200 mph, or feeling the car shake when 2 wheels go off road? These 3 effects really lack on my system. Or maybe they are not simulated. I drive the Interact V4, and I have installed Directx 7.0a Zen

No, sorry, the FFeffects in GPL are there to be USEFUL.

It thought the "useful" side of a computer sim was to be realistic ...

You should be able to feel the difference when two wheels are off the road if the grip level or surface is different (sand vs. asphalt for example). The ridiculous vibration effects from the "road" or the "engine" that are completely unrealistic and mask all the rest of the needed feedback is what the previous poster was referring to, I think. Thankfully, the programmers left those out of GPL. Marc.
