No thump in test

Hi, I am using a logitech Force 3D Pro which worked well on my old laptop with FS Force installed.

The in game force feed back works in FSX on my new desktop and in the forceTest program, but when I press the start forces button in the FS Force startup no thumps are felt. Any ideas I can try?

Thanks

Rand,

Somehow I missed your post ... sorry about that. It's kind of strange that the thump test isn't working for you, but if everything else is, I wouldn't worry about it. Just go through the test and answer #1, as I happen to know that the 3D Pro does support the dwStartDelay parameter.

Hi Russ, thanks for the reply. Somehow I opened up the configurator and went to try your suggestion and this time the thumps were felt and FS Force is now working.

The only thing I can think of is I did have the in-game FFB settings checked, then unchecked and exiting FSX and retrying the test. The other times(6-8) I had in-game checked even though the tests wre always done with no other programs running.

Just a thought.

All's well,

thanks
