Hi Philip, Well, force feedback is a tad bit tricky. In the old days you could simply create and load a force feedback profile using the effects editor. However, since releasing DirectX 9 Microsoft has done away with the force feedback effects editor and force feedback profiles, and now all the examples demonstrate applying the effects directly to the device yourself through code. I haven't quite figured it out myself, because Microsoft has made it more complicated than it use to be in DirectX 8. I'm truthfully almost tempted to grab the DirectX 8.1 SDK just to implament the older effects profiler in my engine, but have no idea how compatible it is with the updated DirectInput library that ships with DirectX 9.
