Hi all, Gabe, I wrote you personally about the force feedback problem. I have heard nothing about it being a bug in DirectX 8. If it were, it would be a bug in the DirectX runtime and it would be solved by installing DirectX 9. Probably this steering wheel doesn't use the X or Y axis but any of the other available joystick axis. I haven't been able to test the game on all types of steering wheels. I know about the cars not passing by when they lap you. I've also heard about the mysterious multiplayer crashes. I will try to solve as many of these bugs as possible in the final patched version that I'm working on. I'll also try to improve the force feedback effects. Drive safely, Davy http://www.playinginthedark.net
