fixed Bug with FFB since the latest update, Spring effect missing

[RealDCSpilot]

Since the latest update my FFB stick has no spring effect in the F1, it works in all the other modules.

Same problem confirmed from my G940.

Same issue here with sidewinder 2, maybe it is a sign proper force trimming is coming?

same issue too, with sidewinder ffb2. hope the bug will be fixed quickly.

@Vibora Any info what's going on? Without FFB springs the module is practically unplayable.

For now, I think you can use the simFFB plugin to have a spring effect with your joystick. I haven't tested it yet, but I'm testing this today, and if it works I'll state it here so that we have a working joystick until the problem is fixed.

Confirm, simFFB does the job as a workaround.

Ahrg, i hope Aerges is not taking the wrong road at the moment and tries to support Brunner devices when the community asks for more FFB functionality.
@ViboraBrunner FFB joystick bases are not working natively with directinput FFB! (wich is directly implemented in DCS) Big difference!

@BIGNEWYWhy isn't this thread marked as 'reported' yet? They messed up a core functionality of DCS within two of the latest open beta patches already. Never seen something like that in 13 years (and i own all DCS modules).

Are we sure this is only related to the F1?
I.E. My MS FFB2 is limp until I enter the cockpit of a module. It didn't used to be like this, it did have the spring effect before outside of modules.
Hmmm. Need to reboot Windows to see what's happening.

Cheers!

@MAXsenna Yes, it's only related to the F1.
What you describe is totally normal behaviour for a good amount of time now. In the main menu springs are off, as soon as you enter a cockpit the spring forces become active (depending on the module, for instance, in a WW2 plane on ground - the stick will stay limb if you are not moving.)

Right. Wasn't like this before, at least for me.

Cheers!

FFB will be restored in next update.
