Fanatec is full of it. Their website (fanatec.com) claims
the Speedster 3 will support force feedback with "any
current or upcoming racing game. The Speedster 3 ForceShock
allows ForceFeedback with all racing games on Xbox".

Reading between the lines of their intentionally misleading
website, it appears that what they call "force feedback"
is:

1) a generic center spring force, configurable but
unrelated to what's happening in the game (might as
well be a mechanical spring)

2) "ForceEffects" -- aka standard rumble effects, used to
vibrate the wheel shaft

3) "ForceShock" -- when the rumble output from the game
crosses a certain threshold, they jerk the wheel side
to side.

Obviously this is not "force feedback" as the term is used
by every other wheel manufacturer on the planet. Logitech
and the Forza team are both on record that true force
feedback is simply not supported by the XDK.

With that in mind, read the website and watch that video
again. They are slimeballs, IMO, intentionally misleading
people. Looking around the web, there are a large number
of gamers and publications that have been fooled.
