Fri13 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 The joystick would vibrate when you pulled the trigger; makes sense. As for patents, I heard that Microsoft was successful in the lawsuit that supposedly ended the msffb2. Is this true or not? The problem is easy to understand once everyone looks the video from X-Plane developer. Simply put.... It is easier to just pay the license for patent trolls than start fighting with them in court. Even if you win in the court, you will lose. So it is just better not to challenge them in first place. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

It would appear that it is actually easiest, and most cost effective, to not make an FFB stick in the first place.

Fri13 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 It would appear that it is actually easiest, and most cost effective, to not make an FFB stick in the first place. That I meant, just don't challenge them.... But if you look the X-plane author problem.... It is that he is using Play Store from Google.... That actually is doing same infringement as ED store... Having a computer list of paid customers and checking their license validation comparing it to that list on computer. So what to do when you want to sell product and you need to have a digital store and have a digital list of customers and you are infringing one patent troll patent that wants 50 000 for license? You either stop business, pay license or put millions to court and lose.... Same likely is with FF sticks... Just simpler not to do one.... i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
