Question for Steering Wheel owners

If it's not plugged in, then there is no FF. Do you have xbox live? If not I think you might have to put in the PGR3 disc it came with, to download the drivers for the wheel. If you have live and put pgr3 in , try hitting a wall in grid and let go of the wheel. The wheel should jerk around on it's own if it's working properly. If it doesn't something's wrong.jeffmonster

I know that without power there is no FF but there's supposed to be rumble like the controller and yes, I have xbox live and the only thing there is on this disc is a demo for forza. But does the wheel actually rumble when hitting a wall or another car? All I get when plugging it is some kind of power steering feeling which is way better than without, but hitting cars and wall doesn't make any feedback and it feels a bit flat, unlike my joystick which, while making a whole lot of noise when rumbling, was more satisfying.

Hey Mr Quaker - well I noticed something very strange that pertains to your comments. I too didnt notice any rumble what-so-ever when using the wheel with GRID. There is definately force feedback, as in the wheel fights you on corners (which is great) but definately no rumble from the base unit itself when hitting walls / other cars etc.

However.....if you put an xbox controller battery into the little compartment on the right side and then unplug the power supply, you get proper rumble but NO forcefeedback steering!!! I was totally confused. So.....thinking that the wheel I had just bought might be faulty, I popped the Forza2 demo disk back in and found that both rumble AND force feedback worked fine and at the same time.

This can only mean one thing, it is a software problem coming from GRID itself. It would appear the developers have errored somewhere only allowing EITHER force feedback or rumble. It isn't your wheel.

Hope this helps. I wonder if they will sort this in a patch? If you find anything out, could you let me know too? Cheers mate - jodyclarke2000@hotmail.com
