I would also like to know if this sensitivity setting is the same as the overall effect settings (my profile is in swedish so I dont know what the name is for it in the english version but its the first dragbar from the top I'm talking about)

ED gave people the choice to play DCS BS in real mode or in arcade mode, they gave people the choice to turn on/off many things thats not in the real KA-50 if they choose to do so. Why didn't you give people the choice to have more FFB feeling even though its not realistic as it comes to the KA-50? When I use my G940 with FSX I can really feel the FFB forces but in BS its only use is for trim. I have everything on realistic when I play and I want it to be like that but if I had the choice to feel the rotors (some shaking), feel the weapons fireing and so on I would use that just to get more feeling when I fly even though it might not be realistic. This is only a wish from my side that ED would make this possible in a future patch.

Ah okay I will try your settings but I think I will go with more overall effect.

Is this even though you have your hand on the stick? I mean the dead mans switch do center the stick when you let go but I have covered the sensor with some tape.

Oh I have looked into this before on the nvidia homepage and what I understand it do need a special monitor. I looked again and yes it needs a 120 hz monitor and it gets rather pricy so well I think I have to stand back for this at the moment even though it sounds cool :)

oh my God, of course it is, didn't find the right word for it, thanks :D

But with the 3d glasses you need a special 3d monitor (samsung) don't you? I mean on a normal monitor like mine 60 hz does not work?

It would be nice to see how people have set up their Logitech G940 FFB stick under the FFB properties, I mean what they seem best for DCS BS of course :) My setup is like this, I think its the default setup really but I only had this system for two days so I have not managed to do much more then setting up a nice profile for my bird so I can fly :) My software is in swedish so my translation may differ from your software. General effect: 100% Spring effect: 100% damping effect: 100% Activate springcentering in force feedback games (YES) centerspring effect 100% Now get the ball rolling and if you have any tips for a better setup then please spank me :D

This sounds interesting but I'm a noob when it comes to this so how do I make this work for the G940? I have read the script but I don't know how to use it :)

I also have problems with shkval. It moves up and sometimes left without me doing anything (this is when using the minijoy). One more thing that I need answers for is how the FFB should behave. I tested the stick with FSX and when I fly straight the stick is lose but not to lose and easy to use and when I turn heavy or go up or down hard I feel the force kicking in, its easy to feel the plane here but in DCS it always have a hard tension to it besides when the stick is centered cause in the center there is a deadzone about 10-20% where the stick is verry lose, to lose and its hard to make the bird stay in one place. Is this the same for you?

Thanks for the answer :). Of course I want it to be realistic so if this is the real thing I'm satisfied. So the only thing I will notice is that the stick will keep its location when I'm using trim? No shaking what so ever or no limb stick when entering a vortex? I have been looking into that for a long time but they are very expensive so I think I can do without it for now but thanks for the tip :D EDIT: Well the price range is rather big after looking further into it, ranges from about 20$ and up so its not that much money :)

Yeah you might be right. I know this is tha fact with our Swedish JAS 39 Gripen but I did not know that the KA-50 have the same thing I mean it's older then the JAS. But anyways I think I should feel something if I did a hard landing or even a crashlanding.

Congratz! :D. I got mine yesterday and even though I had the x52 system before I must admit I feel a bit like a noob again :)

Yes I have checked that and its "true" oh is that so? A little dissapointment in the air, I mean I have my stick between my legs tightened to my flightchair so I hoped to get to feel some vibration through the chair itself from rotors or gunfire. I mean in a real helicopter I guess you must feel some vibration and the cannon I know for sure must give some vibration in the helicopter.

I just got my G940 today and I have only plugged it in and tried black shark just to get the feeling. I have one question though. I could not feel any force feedback from the rotors or when I fired rockets, ATGM, not even when I crashed. Is something wrong or is my expectations to high? I even cranked it up to 150% force. When I calibrated the stick and pressed some buttons (I think it was on the throttle) the stick moved with plenty of force from left to right.

I know what you mean. I bought black shark in may and I'm still learning. By just reading the manual and doing what it says is not enough, I have to become one with my bird, I have to make it my best friend to be able to fly this bird as its supposed to be flown but I'm getting there eventually ;) Welcome and hope you enjoy your new friend that you will spend many hours with :)

What I have been reading about the G940 is that the force feedback is really strong and that is why it has the dead mans grip so it does not jump of the table.

Hmm I have never noticed that but if thats the case then it sucks.

Thanks for sharing! :) I have been playing with my x52 for a long time now and when I read about your problems I think I have the same problems and I didn't start to notice until a couple of days ago when I started to play FSX again. Every plane I try to take off with drag to the left on the runway and to calibrate didn't help at all. When I think of black shark I know my heli also drag to the left on start but I thought this was my fault with bad trimming so I have got used to it by pushing slightly to the right and trim. I will try this out but I will change my system anyways hopefully this week to the logitech G940. Thanks again :)

I don't think this is the problem. I have the Logitech G13 gaming keyboard and I guess it uses the same profiler system and for that I use dcs.exe from the game folder and everytime I start black shark it also automaticly start the game profile. I might be wrong and I will find out soon when I get my G940 system this week.

This was the attention I was hoping for, thanks GGTharos :thumbup:

Nice thread indeed even though I do not own a FFB stick yet but I will get one next week, not the saitek but the logitech G940 and I think I will have the same problem as you do and it seems to be related to DCS Black Shark and not the stick itself so I hope that this thread might bring some attention to DCS team so they can find a solution or maybe fix the problem with a patch.

Same here, I can no longer stand sims that claim to be sims but lack the realistics of a real sim.

Yes and I will try it on max :)

Oh I loved Gunship from Microprose. This was the sim that made me a sim fanatic. I started playing this on my Commodore 64, after that Amiga then Gunship 2000. I have never spent so much time on any sim until I got hold of Black Shark :D
