Re: Customizable Dashboard
 

Does your dashboard support sending feedback commands to controllers (xbox, ps3, gaming joysticks)? We really wanted to give our drivers force feedback in the controllers this year but couldn't make it work. In Atlanta I talked with the NI guys and they said the only way to make force feedback work was to create your own dashboard where you can insert direct-x commands to send feedback signals to the controllers.

Have you tried this?

Many teams could this feature as useful as--if not better than--video.

Re: Customizable Dashboard
 

That's a really cool idea. I'll play around with DirectInput and add it as a control.

Right now I'm drowning in AP Calculus prep (the test is next Wednesday), so I haven't done a lot of work on the dashboard. I'll pick it back up soon after.
