    Highest Quality Force Feedback Joystick?

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Posted

    Logitech FFB pro joystick: No-go for DCS titels! (not precise enough -XY resolution to low!)

    Saitek Evo Force: No-go for DCS titels! ( translation of the FFB commands not proper enogh and the spring is 'not useful' to compensate missing force in BS)

    Wingman FFB: No-go for DCS titels! (Works only at a Diner party to impress 'Friends' while flying in 'SuperMario' or 'Arkanoid')

     

    Spare your money and get a Used Ms Sidewinder FFB 2(USB) or the Game port version(sometimes only15€ at ebay). Than add another 15€ (or less) for a PCI sound card with a midi/Gameport connection - a "USB to Gameport connector" will not translate all FFB commands !

    What LCD/Monitor is everybody using?

    HP2335 23 inch no widescreen.

    Running resolution 1600X1200 in both the game and on desktop.

    But Refresh Rate Sucks 15 m/s :( next buy will be down to 3 m/s ! ...

    Please don't follow the 'marketing hype'...

    When you running a refresh rate of 60Hz (60 new actualisations of the output in a sec) you would only need 20m/s -under that number you wouldn't be able to notice a change...

     

    EDIT(found my calculator): 1sec/60hz= 0,016sec per frame

     

    -so if you use a monitor with 60hz,and 3 m/s (3m/s=0,003 sec)refreshment and you running application with steady 60frames (every 0,016666.. sec a new frame)- the monitor have to wait every 0,013 sec each new frame for new data -

    ... to notice a difference - and mostly only when from total Black to a white - it would appear for 6 m/s as Gray...so you would need a refresh rate of 120Hz (!) to benefit from the frame refreshment of your next Monitor...

     

    After said that- we all running a simulation where we are happy to have steady 30 frames (The barrier that a normal human being can track) .

    So you will only pay for a number on the package without ever benefit from it... (because you never would be able [even Chuck Norris or Steve Austin -but maybe Auto-Man;)] wouldn't notice the difference between 15m/s or 3m/s -only insects are able to split a sec in 120 individual images...that's why a fly is able to escape before you even notice yourself that you want to move your arm to hit the Fly..).

    Which Monitor specifications do you want? ::)

    Nice to see that someone else is picking this idea up!:thumbup:

    This is a quote from my site:

    19th September 2008

     

    My Tutorial/Projekt Roadmap :

     

    (...)

     

    -Turn every monitor into a touchscreen using a wii-remote and a IR-LED/reflective-tape attached to your index finger. To use it with touchbuddy and/or a virtual cockpit. Similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5Ev...iimote-162856/

    (..)

     

    I will release a video/text tutorial soon.

    Sorry for probably a dumb question but i am a bit confused after reading the 17 pages of post.

     

    I am currently running a quad core system and have a 260GTX which is hooked up to my main 22inch LCD and I am then running a 8600GT with 2 x 15 inch touch screen mointors.

     

    I am running on XP and only have the one sysyem (i.e no second pc).

     

    My question is, should i run this game and also use the two touch screens or do i need to create a Touch Buddy profile for the two touch screens?

     

    Are the ABRIS etc usable if connected to the touch screen?

     

    Sorry but i am so cofused as this game has much more controls than IL2 which i am use to playing

     

     

    Thanks heaps

    IMHO-This is a decision you have to do yourself...

     

    but look at this video to make up your mind:

    http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1627326198keXc3X

     

    AFAIK uses the guy in the vid a 22" top monitor and a 15" touchscreen on a XP set-up for BS.

    I think that I read somewhere that it was a 1680x2100 "span" mode resolution.

     

    BTW: Someone should slap him in the face if he release a video with such bad sound levels again!

    Hi Guys!

    I'm just a little bit interested how much of you out there....:music_whistling: (6 of you are right now in contact with me)

     

    If 'this':) holds on I'm considering to install a Hub for my stuff in Melbourne or New Zealand and save you also shipping costs.

     

    :)

     

    edit: please give me also a pm wit your clear name - Its hard for me to track all nicknames and compare them with the requests that you have already send via e-mail (most of them without the nickname).

    use than up to 250 .

    But I warn you! You have to use "performance" (I have no AtI) setting in the control panel - This could cause heavy Stuttering (at my system) when using High Quality.

    But it should be clear why it Happens: the GPU/CPU has much more objects to calculate that appear now at the sides....

     

    Edit: You don't have to Thank me! just give me reputation next time...;)

    US Top Brass Fed Up With F-22 Problems

    This is NOT an F-22 fanboy rant, this is an anti-journalism rant. I can't stand journalists and their half-assed attempts to get facts in the race to make money from advertising. I'm just as greedy and money-grubbing as the next guy, but not if it means getting the facts all screwed up. They are a necessary evil. Very necessary, and very evil. ;)

    No Offence!

    Only a question: How much you paid to read this article?!

    :huh:- also nothing ?

     

    OK -than please don't wonder what kind of "journalism" we see in the I-net (I wouldn't call it:"journalism" - its more what groove said!) these days.

    And in TV and.....

    ....I know:

    If you want good information and be well informed on a quick way:

    What Minimal Flightsticks/Controls People Using?

    in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark

    Posted

    IHMO - the Saitek Aviator has all what it needs to 'start' with:

    av8r.jpg

    Rapid fire trigger

     

    4 buttons

     

    8-way ‘point-of-view’ hat switch

     

    4 two-way toggle switches

     

    3D Twist Rudder control

     

    Dual throttles

     

    Single spring gimbal mechanism

     

     

    And he is also not so expensive. And when you 'upgrade' you can use him as some kind of "centre console" - and most imported: he is precise !

    ...\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Config\View\

    view.lua

    -- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}.
CameraViewAngleLimits = {}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 140.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {20.0, 120.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {20.0, 120.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {20.0, 120.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {20.0, 120.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {20.0, 120.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {5.0, 120.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {20.0, 140.0}
CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iKA_50] = {20.0, [b]120[/b].0}

     

    There is a view.lua in BS - change the highlighted in the KA-50 line to 200.

    And you should be fine.
