Talisman_VR Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hi Folks, Thinking about trying the Tomcat, but I use a MS2FF joystick. Does the Tomcat model support force feedback for joysticks? Thanks. Happy landings, Talisman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should it be like stirring a martini? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally have you tried it? Youtube videos can't demonstrate the feel of it properly. It feels right! I for one don't know what I would do if my MSFFBB2 failed, I would definitely try to get another one somewhere.

These meant to produce artificial resistance for ease of trimming. I am glad you're happy though, have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaking doesn't affect anything other than your feel, you can control it (by gripping the stick more firmly) and you can easily control the aircraft without the shake affecting your inputs. It effectively translates what you see on the screen, to your hand. If the plane or cockpit doesn't shake, neither does the stick. To me that's a something that is extremely immersive, especially in VR.

Tell us what you feel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman_VR Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have just started the free trial period for the Tomcat and I am loving it. I use a MSFF2 joystick and the FF is brilliant. I also use a JetPad/JetSet with SimShaker for Aviators software which, combined with the FF joystick, haptic headset and VR is extremely immersive indeed. Especially in a guns dogfight. I think the dev's have done a great job with this aircraft. I will be going for full purchase on this one. Thanks for getting back to me regarding FF lunaticfringe, much appreciated. Happy landings, Talisman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
