Microsoft Sidewinder FF 2 (trim, force feedback issues)

[Treudd]

Hi,

 

i'm having great problems flying the sim with my joystick.

I can confirm for other threads that the force feedback seems to be inactive during training missions, but seems to work in the "real" missions.

 

Also, I don't seem to understand how to configure the joystick in the options panel. It's really not working for me (I can't change the settings/don't understand at all what to do - changing a setting just wont accept inputs from the joystick like to configure it in other games).

 

Will we recieve a fix for this?

 

Flying training missions without force feedback centering the joystick is really hard. I cannot fly at all.

 

In the russian version, which I got to work on my XP, it seemed to work better (well, I didnt understand how to trim then). But now I cannot enjoy the sim... sorry, I really need a fix or someone explain to me how to make it work.

 

 

(no, I don't plan to play in sim mode!)

It works fine for me except some small problems:

*It does'nt work right when I take control in training missions.

*I can't set a curve because the trim does'nt position according to the curve.

 

In the force feedback settings under controls axis mapping in the game you should set "swap axis" also, otherwise the trim is crazy..

 

(Why not?)

 

edit: I should add, that I use it with XP and without the drivers that comes with the joystick..

 

Hoppas det fixar sig!!

Hopefully those will get you on to the right track. :)
