A image speaks more clearly than many explanations. That is the problem. Thank you for checking on your force feedback stick . I know that we are not a lot of this devices user but who knows if new force feedback bases will come on the market in the future ? We can dream . It s a subject well discussed on the forum , for me force feedback is a must ! Ihave mine as many other guys for 20 years ! Best regards

Hello , thank you for responding. Lets keep it simple , i fully understand your explanation. With my sidewinder ff2 : the test configuration is : - wing sweep auto - +or- 200ft/min -speed 350 kts / 10 000ft without engaging autopilot , to trim correctly the aircraft in level flight in this exemple the flying stick( sim ) AND my FF2 are trimmed pitch down out of the centered position and naturaly the autopilot wont engaged .. As mentioned before on the A4 before the last update: same problem . AFTER the last update in the a4 the flying stick( in the sim) moves BUT my FF2 physically moves but way less than before when i trim the aircraft so it is not far awayfrom the center position and i am able to engage autopilot. Is it possible to tell the sim to move less the FF2 stick physically for the tomcat while the flying stick ( in the sim ) continues to move normally? I have no knowledge in coding so that is all i can tell . Best regards

Ok what i did to get my 10 -15 fps back . WATER QUALITY was on medium , i reset it to LOW . the new beautiffull water texture is still there so graphically no difference except the waves effect on the shore . TERRAIN SHADOW : off SHADOW : LOW so you can still have shadows from clouds on ground and on the sea . New water definitively has an impact for what i observed ... Hope that this can help . rem : i use VR , nv 2070 i did not try this for the moment : ---go to: Users\[windows user]\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\DXCache and delete all content of \DXCache folder -----

Same fps lost as everyone Wich is problematic in VR ... Did not try to modify Global Illumination yet New water texture as mentioned before are very nice by the way and as a real life pilot very similar to what you can see around 3 or 4 thousand feet . Wait and see ...

hello Walmis , You did the software ( FFB tool )on the pictures by yourself ? That is amazing ! I have no knowelge in programing but is there a way to use this kind of sofware to modify the default spring , damp etc force of my sidewinder force feedback 2 as on windows 10 there is no support anymore fore the sofware side winder game manager 4.0 and even if the force feedback work correctly you can not adjust theses effect before playing dcs or il2 for exemple. if sSIMFFB is used then you loose all of the ingame effects . anyway thanks for your work and i hope you will be able to sell your kits soon !!

Hello , Same issue here with my force feedback , very annoying as it is impossible to engage AP as trimming moves the physical center position of the FFBstick and AP can be engage only near the center . Of course you can use SIMFFB BUT you loose all the great effects at ihgh AOA etc ... Good to know is that the A4 skyhawk free mod had the same problem wich has been fixed since the last update( Beta 5.1), now when you trim up or down the physical position of the FFBstick does not move SO you can engage AP ( as it needs to be centered for it ). If the devs did it for the skyhawk it should be doable ? best regards !

Thank you for answering colyaoap !

Hello everybody , Don t know if someone has the same problem . on the UFC com 1 works perfectly but when i push the com 2 button and sellect the correct frequency the tower doesn t respond . Radio set realistic in option . Thanks by advance .

Posté !a bientot

Bonjour à tous , Pilote privé avion et helico , passionné de simu surtout dcs pour la richesse et la profondeur de ses addons , je réside en Caledonie et cherche des partenaires pour réseau . Je suis aussi en phase finale de réalisation d' une platforme à 6 DOF ( 6 degré de liberté) communiquant avec DCS via simtools ...et Ca marche ! Si des utilisateurs francophones sont dispos pour voler serieux et detente pour partager missions et ou voltige pour perfectionner le pilotage suis motivé . Je vole régulièrement sur Blue Flag avec simple radio avec les anglo-saxons , tres serieux mais si des Francophones sont dispos dans ces fuseaux horaires suis preneur ! Bons vols à tous !

Hi guys ! Just for information , for those who can afford that there is a new product on the market , ready to plug the warthog or the manngust , powerfull and swiiss made.. ..so certainly not cost effective but when you take account of the time we spend flying on our computer that could be a investment . https://www.brunner-innovation.swiss/product/cls-e-joystick/ For the DIY project i maintain that as there is already an arduino code for a single axe racing wheel working "apparently very well" , taking two arduino micro and assign one axe on each of them separatly and you get your force feedback joystick (Ok the electronic parts i mean ) I can tell you that because i have got two sidewinder ffb 2 and 1 force feedback wheel and i can assign each axe on two of theses device and i have force feedback on each devices .. whrighting a code from scratch is a brave quest , why just use what is already existing and modifiy some of the code ( reduction of the potentiometer maximum course from 360 to 45 for exemple ) . hope not to offend anybody but these are just some thoughts.

Hello again to all FFB freek ;) ! @melalgear honk may i suggest a littlebit crasy idea ... As i and perhaps many don t have the knownledge about coding , would it be possible to send me a preprogramed arduino nano pre-loaded with the code so we would only have to connect the pin to potentiometers and pwm output to a l298 controler ? I can pay via paypal for example a reasonable price and you could get more feedback and share our hardware building. Just a prposition , if you can think about it ;) . Best regards , JP

@MetalGear Honk You "made " a step by step or you "will "cause i have red this thread many time and didn t found it ..if i did miss it can you give me the link please ? my sidewinder force feedback 2 gimball with its motors is wayting for a test flight :lol: Apparently what i managed to do is to upload your .HEX and then goback to a basic blink arduino scetch so ..my arduino is still alive ;) For shure it is a little more difficult than plug , upload and play ..but with a good dummy tutorial .. yes we can ! JP

Hello every boy ! And amazing work crow0827 ! Help is asked ..i am waiting to plug my FF2 gimball and motors + potentiometers + l298 controler on the arduino pro mini to test the code .. After recieving the arduino pro mini + fdti basic breakout , solded together , plugged recognized ..ok. -. Hex (from metalgear monk ) is uploaded in the arduino pro mini with Xloader that tels me every thing has been uploaded. And now... Stupid question but what have i to do now to see this device recocgnized as a basic force feedback joystick in the usb game controler manager ? In the JOYSTICK_Test folder are many files + driver and i don t know what to do ... Other thing :my FDTI appears in device manager as a USB serial port(COM4) but not as an arduino .. If somepne can just give me the differents step to do this as i have no experience in HID , PID etc .. Thx

Hello MetalGear_Honk ! More interested than ever , just waiting to the Arduino pro mini , the l 298 motor controler and all the stuff to test , thx for the firmware update !! I will report asap but this may take some time for me to recieve everything in New-Caledonia ! Conerning the FF2 gimball scan to make a 3 d printable format : some pieces are just a little bit to big to be scan by the guy i know , waiting for another solution . I 'll keep you inform !
