    hi all,

    I'm working on a small project of building homemade wheel pedals and gearbox.
    I decided to add Force-Feedback system the the wheel, so i started to search for a program which can send the FF signal from the game to exterior motor. As you can see I found the X-sim.
    The problem is that the program is too complicated and i cant find the FF signal there and how to send it out to any exterior device.

    Hope to have some help here and sorry for the poor english :blush:

    Tom

    If you want proper FF (I am not sure that x-sim is right for this things ) only cheap and easy way is to buy FF wheel and use its electronic.

    I dont want to use any FFwheel, i want to do everything by myself.
    i saw in the X-sim the lateral force which looks similar to the FF of the wheels. How can I send it to exterior device?

    I dont examine it mutch, but i thougt that it work well only with simbin type of FF (where you get FF simulate by predefine effects), but as i say i dont examine it mutch. I must try it for example with LFS what that send out. But it make sence that it should be fairly same.
