Happy and delighted to report that I've solved my problem which was done by running JSGME as administrator: I switch mods in and out, and have the individual Reel Feel ini's and dll's in the specific mod folders so I won't have to remove any files for a mod that does not use Reel Feel. Setting JSGME to admin in compatibility mode did the trick.

Incidentally, I noticed that the 0936 and 0938 seem hard to find using Google and my usual hangouts, so if you manage to find working links I'm sure it would be appreciated. Maybe we could host them in the download section here? Hmmm. I haven't actually checked if they might already be there....
Getting some force feedback into the mod really was comparable to discovering Blondie (and Debbie Harry) for the first time, back in them days when.
And I must admit to admiring the mod groups courage in putting in the dynamic driver's point of view, and their wisdom in also providing a more traditional static headcam.
