  1. I use a msffb2 and ffb works for me with every module i own, except the razbam ones. Even the a4 community mod works great out of the box.
  2. Usually stronger force is better because you get a wider range of feedback. At least from my experience with ffb wheels and racing sims. Because i only own a msffb2 and don't have anything to compare it to. But i had already 3 different ffb wheels and i always went up in pure ffb force. For example with a cheap wheel i got a "feelable" range of forces from 0-100 and with my latest wheel it seems i have a "feelable" range from 0-500. For example if i hit a curb with the wheel i would be on 100 on my old wheel and on 500 on my new wheel. But the feelable range in between got much broader. I don't know if it makes sense to you in any form. But a little example would be the F5, if you can get a msffb2 stick to test it out. There is a feelable bump on the rolling axis when you move the stick you hit a detent and you need more force to completely deflect the stick. The force in the msffb2 is noticeable, but it would be more noticeable if you would have more force left on the motors.
  3. And there is still a difference when people rant and complain about a topic, or start throwing stones without enough background information and evidence. The haters are usually the ones throwing the stones and complaining if they return like a boomerang. Honestly Razbam did a lot of questionable moves since they became a 3rd party. I own 3 of their modules and i am not happy with any of them, because ffb is non existent in their modules. So i haven't bought anything from them and won't buy anything in the future. Doesn't matter to me which module those party announces. And believe me i want that mig-23 really bad, but i am not making such a mistake again. I bet the list of modules Razbam announced to bring to DCS is longer than the planned modules of every other 3rd party together. But honestly i hope it takes a good end, since a lot of people without ffb sticks can still enjoy their modules. But i won't get another hangar corpse.
  4. I know and i would have already bought a kit, but right now it is a wiser choice to upgrade my system. I am reading propelers thread and everything which evolved around it, since he startetd it. FFB brings so much immersion to the platform and it got neglected for so long. I am still wondering why, since the whole racing genre exploded in the last decade with a wide price range. There are even ffb pedals. I mean i know there was a lawsuit which stopped microsoft from producing the ffb sticks. But it seems to me that nobody even tried to go a different route, so that they don't violate some patents or even come up with something else. For me everything related to ffb becomes an addiction at some point. Since i got my jetpad couple years ago, i can't fly or race without it anymore. Just imagine you could have a ffb throttle/collective and ffb pedals. Flying the huey could be so awesome as a co-pilot when collective and stick and everything moves around like in the real thing. I mean if you fly with a buddy or some other human. I don't wanna know how weird it gets with the inputs as soon as the ai takes over.
  5. I know exactly what you mean. I slapped a CH Grip onto my msffb2 which was quite an easy task. Since the board of the CH stick is quite small and fits easy into the case of the msffb2. I use the original usb cable from the CH stick so the wiring and buttons stay the same. So my msffb2 stick has one usb connection for the ffbbase and a seconed usb connection for all the buttons on the ch stick. Your described problem is much more pronounced now since the CH stick is way heavier than the original msffb2 stick. I think i have to go for the resistor hack to see if it gets better. Right now i have setup a deadzone on both axis of 2 or 3 on all modules to overcome that "hardware" deadzone from the stick itself.
  6. Same here, sometimes it works for a short amount of time and then my mouse cursor is back on the desktop and i only see it when i am able to find the window with the cursor.
  7. Did you already open up the throttle? If not do it and look for maybe loose connections on cables. You can maybe spot the faulty part and try to repair it. But keep your patience and don't do it in a hassle because you wanna fly. I thrashed my throttle pedal of my 10+ year old fanatec pedal set in a rage "accident" a couple of days ago. I wanted to race and the throttle made strange inputs so i opened it and saw a loose cable on the potentiometer and tried to solder it back on. It took me 2 hours because the freaking cables are so thin and my soldering iron is just a cheap piece of equipment. finally i got it to work again and i saw the calibration was off, so i replugged the usb and the throttle stopped working. Something snapped inside me, than something snapped on the throttle and i put the simracing stuff away. Now i am waiting for a new pedal set to arrive. Back on topic i don't think the board is broken since the other buttons and sliders work, so maybe just a loose connection or if it's hall sensors maybe the magnet moved a bit or fell off.
  8. You could try using the occulus tray tools and make some profiles for different sims. At least it changes the profile specific settings for me everytime i use it.
  9. And how you gonna find out with SP people when new multiplayer bugs get introduced? And there are a lot of games which have a beta program, where you get new content before it drops to the public branch. There are even playtest events with some games when new content gets introduced or new features, before the drop it to the public branch.
  10. Because with the introduction of new features sometimes old features get broken. Sometimes it takes a lot of open beta updates to adress some issues. And a lot of people are complaining about it. Honestly i don't care for the F16 and F18 at all, but i don't wanna see the warzone in the forum when some features get broken and it takes 8 weeks to fix them. With the stable version there is at least a version people can enjoy with the features they got sofar. And honestly we all don't know what all the SP people are using, all we know is that there are a lot more OB servers than stable ones. So the majority of the DCS online community decided to use the open beta. And i bet there are a lot of squadrons out there who still use the stable version for their flight nights.
  11. I wonder what the discount will be, when you purchased all the terrains till the whole earth map dlc arrives.
  12. CameraViewAngleLimits = {70.000000,130.000000} 70.0 would be your nearest zoom fov and 130 the most far away. the zoom range is 60 If you take the half of the zoom range and add it to the nearest fov, you get your default fov. So you have a couple of different aproaches but all will effect your zoom range.
  13. nullSure attached the image!
  14. I run a 4790k with 16 gb ram and a 1080 with a rift s. Since MT was introduced i can play DCS again on almost all maps, marianas still has the worst performance for me overall. My overall settings are pretty low, but my overall experience is quite smooth. VR shoud be possible but it really depends what you are looking for. Just for an explanation, so you can understand my point of view a bit. I like to have good performance over graphics, as long as i played 2d i was always looking to be at 58+ fps all the time, everything beneath was noticeable stutter for me. I can live with the flashing textures without any AA at all as long as i get my 40+ fps with the rift s.
  15. If you would compare it to racing wheels, the ms ffb2 is the logitech g25/27 and the brunner is a solid direct drive wheelbase. But honestly the best option would be to look for some used ms ffb2 sticks i have now 4 or 5 of them because i bought them between 25 and 50 euros. But i am little bit paranoid and don't wanna miss my ffb at all.
  16. @Bucic reminds me of carpenter brut
  17. I was able to finish your campaign couple of days ago during my holiday and i have to say, it's a blast! The atmosphere during the whole campaign is fantastic, the voice overs are great and the missions are straight forward. I had to skip 2 missions because of the performance of my system, but that's my system and not your fault, since the rest of the campaign ran very good and smooth in VR for me. I wasn't able to play the campaign earlier, because of my specs, persian gulf and VR. The only issue i had during the whole campaign was, that sometimes the voiceover between the chats in the heli got dropped in favor of the ATC or AWACS. That was sometimes a bit annoying since the chats between the different characters involved really added a lot to the whole atmosphere of the missions. I am going to give the jeff a spin in the trials just to see if i could like it (i got my own problems with modern stuff), but my only real interest for now is your campaign for it. I personally think you did a fantastic job with the creation of that fictional event and everything based around it. Another motivation for me to learn the apache is right on your store page! Keep up the good work and keep us supplied with your wonderful creations. Right now i can't decide what i will try as next campaign, the crew or memory of the hero. Time will tell and entertainment will be enjoyed!
  18. You could use a button on your joystick as a modifier so that the axis for radar and autolock will only be applied if you push the modifier button on your joystick. So you could use the button or the axis with the modifier.
  19. Your line at Target should look like this "x:DCSfolder/bin-mt/DCS.exe" --force_enable_vr --force_openxr In your screenshot there is still the .exe attached at the end which is wrong! Btw i am really getting great results since multithreading. I could fly the apache on the marianas map low above the towns and it only dropped to 33 fps. I mean it was a jitterfest at some point, but nothing compared to the around 28 fps i got on the runway before take off.
  20. I bought the ka50 and p51d before there was the word "world" involved in DCS. And i bought it because i watched videos about the 2 modules and saw all those buttons and switches!
  21. That is the point everybody was talking about before and where the misunderstanding kept happening, that the stick moves its neutral position and its physical position in the cockpit and if you got a ffb stick the stick will move with it. That's one basic feature for forcefeedback which is not working with any razbam module, even if you see the stick moving in the cockpit, my stick stays centered all the time. My next problem is that with every other module with ffb, the stick feels different. I know that there is a huge difference between a ww2 tail dragger with direct control of the surfaces and a jet with a hydraulic system. But all i feel in razbam modules is the same force all the time like a normal joystick with a spring. I have the M2000c (which i don't like cause it's fly by wire, thats also why i don't like the f18 but i haven't known it till i've flown it), the Harrier and the MiG-19 and all feel the same on the stick and i haven't flown any of them longer than probably an hour in all the years since their release. I am not going to buy another razbam module as long as i am not able to enjoy the harrier and mig19.
  22. Yeah but people with forcefeedback sticks are a minority in the flightsimmarket. I bought the F1 on release, but i wasn't able to fly it till the last patch and now its broken.
  23. Would it be possible to save the driver from win10 and just install it on win11, if it doesn't work out of the box with the windows driver update? Or would there be a fundamental change between win 10 and win11?
  24. Could be a great idea for DCS overall, like in the gameplay settings you have a checkbox for somethinge like "use artificial afterburner gate with a button" and in the general settings you could bind that button across all modules with an AB.
  25. 100% right, i mean honestly everyone tries to save money where its possible and you already get a really good discount with it. And people can always wait for a sale if their pockets are tight. And if people sacrifce their daily needs, like food, water and clothes, for luxuries like DCS, those people have a serious problem and should seek help, instead of blaming others.
