Speed Link Wheel doesn't work properly

I have bought myself a Speedlink SL 6697. The wheel works when I try it in games, but the forcefeedback doesn't I have tried several games and in none it works. I also have a gamepad from Speelink and there the force feedback works fine, so it's not because of the game itself (I tried several different ones).

When I switch on the FF I can feel it, because it puts a resistance on the wheel. Also when I switch it off, turn the wheel a bit, and then switch it back on, I can see that it works, because the motors put it automatically back in the middle position. However, even in the driver, there is a tab where you can try different affects and none of them work.

 

So I wonder if there might be some issue with the drivers, windows 2000 SP4, or if the wheel itself doesn't work. Since I can see that the motors are working I assume a driver problem, but maybe I'm wrong.

 

Any ideas what it might be?

I finially found the solution. :) When looking in the controller options from windows, my controller was at position 4. I moved it up to position 0 and now it works. Seems to be a bug in the driver, because with the gamepad it works fine.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
