Force Feedback

Does this work with XBox for Windows controllers? I haven't noticed any and I've checked that the controller force feedback still works in other games. Force feedback option is checked.

No - no rumble support in DCS for a "rumble-pad".

Only simulation of hydraulic force on a "real" FFB Stick in DCS:A-10C.

Like: direct moving of the X/Y axis via Trim like in this following video.

Further: buffeting/shaking when near stall speed, and the stick becomes much stiffer when reaching high speeds.

Will that work with a Thrustmaster HOTAS? What types are supported?

No! the TH-warthog is not a FFB stick. It is spring-loaded like almost every normal flight-stick.

The only HOTAS that has FFB is the G940 from logitech.

Rudder paddles are included(!)

But - IMHO - The best FFB stick is till the Microsoft Sidwinder FFB 2... but since about 8 years not in production any-more. (BTW in the video I have posted you see the outcome of two MS-S_FFB_2 sticks with a TM-Cougar.)

There are also some few other "true" FFB models.

Please use this nifty and quite useful link to search for more info ;) : http://www.google.com

BTW:

I'm asking also myself why FFB isn't a common standard for Fligh-simulation...

See- no one would seriously think about driving a racing-sim without a FFB-Sterring-Wheel

- so why most of the Flight-simmers still hold a "Dead" stick in their hand - and just think it has to be that way ?! ... I just think that most of them just really don't know what they miss and what a great helper it is for your situation awareness. - Just think about to instantly feel how you trimmed the plane...

... maybe just because our lobby isn't great enough... like the one for racing-simulations...

Cheers.
