Ranma13 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, I just got a NIB Sidewinder FFB2 from eBay. This is the first time that I'm using one, so I have some questions to check if everything is working as it should. 1. There appears to be some play where the joystick is loose before I hit the force feedback 'wall' for the centering force. Is this behavior normal? The play exists for both when the centering force is centered, and also when it's offset. cEXzQ4T0il0 2. The hat makes a clacking noise whenever I move it up. It appears that there's some play in it before it hits the top switch. Is this behavior normal? dgn-QAjIy2g Edited March 23, 2017 by Ranma13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headwarp Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Your stick is fine. Center play is normal. It should/will still recenter when your hand is off (if you have the sensor taped over) Hatswitch will clack when you push it up and let it go. Enjoy your stick in games that support it.. remember to swap the ffb x/y axes in DCS ffb tune.. most other games that support have them right by default. It really is nice for ka-50 and any prop plane. Might miss extra buttons in more modern jets/a-10c but you have the best FFB stick on the market and I'm sure you'll love it.

Aries144 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Completely normal. :) I find it advantageous for fine control, particularly when hovering in a helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
