I'm not experiencing any of the centering issues some others have mentioned. :cheers:
I've got resistance when turning - probably a little too much so I need to do some adjusting of the trim pots.

But when I run into the wall, or nudge another car I get nothing.  No rumbling or shaking.
That's not right is it??? It's been years sine I played a real Daytona cab.

Have I got to adjust the ini file?
Or is the Logitech profiler the issue?

--- End quote ---

FFB has to be enabled.
EnableFF=1
in emulator.cfg

For most Logitech wheels, if you bring up the wheel under game controllers in the windows control panel and press the various buttons on the steering wheel, it will demo different FFB effects such as a crash, or driving over a wooden bridge.
That will at least tell you if your hack is working.

ScottoKong:
It's Alive!!!

I literally spent 2 minutes setting this thing up once it was all wired (and I enabled FFB in the ini - rookie error I know!!!)
It really is so simple. 

I might try and post a quick vid or pics this weekend once I get it all housed in the Crusin cab.

I've gotta thank Brad808, Gbeef, and Badmouth for putting up with my noob questions and continually responding so quickly.

I think I'll be hassling you again in the coming weeks as I struggle to get my front end setup!  :P

Again - Thanks so much.
Scott

Glad you got it working ok. Out of curiosity what ever became of those resistors? Did you take them off or leave them on? Did you try it with them on/off and notice any differences?

BadMouth:
Glad it's working.  :cheers:
I'd like to see more pics of that cab!
It's sooooo different than the Cruis'n cabs that we have here in the U.S.

ScottoKong:
Well after pretty good about myself I've hit a snag.

I've got Daytona playing better than I'd hoped it would so I thought I'd just finish the night of with a quick game of Sega Rally.

As soon as I insert a coin SR has the centering wobbles that others have mentioned, and it wants to go hard left and right - uncentering???.
I initially had Daytona doing this (prior to activating FFB in the ini).
When I turned on the FFB I also reversed the polarity going to the motor which left me with a really playable version of Daytona.

Just did some quick testing:
Sega GT 24 - works fine (just a little slow on my PC)
Sega Touring Car Champ. wants to pull left and right - no wobbles.
BTW - I have my steering inverted on all these games - could this mean my steering pot it backwards? Could that be part of the problem?
I took the invert off Daytona - nothing odd started happening


Any ideas guys?
