Hello,
I'd like to continue the topic which was brought up by j0nx. I'm also disappointed by the FFB in DCS (1 and 2). I expected control-surface-forces but only got centering force, shaking and trimming. Is this really it? In MS Flight Simulator X there are forces from the air acting on the control surfaces. This means that you push the stick around and as soon as you stop pushing, the stick moves around instead of just centering. It just feels more realistic although I can't explain the whole behavoiur. Of course, there are fly-by-wire planes without a physical connection between control surfaces and stick but I like the WWII planes and helicopters and I somehow miss these forces. Reading about so many problems with FFB, I wasn't sure if I just didn't find the right setting or if these forces really aren't simulated. But according to j0nx's posting, it seems not to be simulated.
Could you please confirm that:
- Control surface forces are not implemented for any plane in DCS (2)
- This function is not planned for future updates
As soon as I know about this, I can plan my joystick setup and future module purchasing. ;) Thanks in advance!
