Im using an old Microsoft sidewinder steering wheel.
its connected by a serial port connection, not USB.
it has the same FF button and power supply, but i have no FF even if i select it in the game.
any help to get the Fantastic Force Feedback Feeling?


cheers

if you are using windows xp you wont find any software for it because MS doesnt support it anymore, i used the add hardware wizard in control panel and windows sees the device, now if you dont have FF theres a chance its just broken because it should work as long as the button in the middle of the wheel is on.

thanks guys

not quite true, when you install it (4.0 in my case) the setup says something like its not supported but it works very good, never had any problems so far. Im using only the pedals for clutch but i can bet the rest will work as well.

only problem with 4.0 is...........

it says its the usb version, when my wheel is serial port.
