A revisit to problems with Saitek Cyborg Evo force feedback

[dkellington]

I'll start by saying that I am new to DCS and this forum.  I have only been flying the trainer mission for both the Mustang and the Su-25t.

My older joystick is a Saitek Cyborg Evo with force feedback.  While the pitch, role and throttle all work, I do not get any feedback on the stick when stalling, landing, deploying flaps and other situations you would expect feedback.

I have read many previous posts on this subject, but they go back 7+ years and it seems that if some of the information in them is not applicable with the latest version of DCS.  I have the latest 64-bit drivers installed from Saitek and have successfully seen the feedback work using the Saitek FF test.

I have looked into the axis control menu and see a column for the stick along with the joystick buttons for feedback on the pitch and roll axis'.  So it seems as if DCS recognizes the stick and has feedback set to the expected inputs.  I don't understand the feedback gains of 75 and 100, but have left those alone.

I have looked through the DCS config folder and have seen .lua files where the force feedback is enabled.  In this case, the Su-25t.

A config file mentioned in the older posts does not exist in my install, so adding the config command there doesn't seem applicable.

I have really tried hard to execute some due diligence regarding this, but am striking out.  Hopefully, someone here may still be using this older stick with the latest DCS and can help with some debugging.

I am more than glad to provide any addition information.

Is Force Feedback enabled in the general misc settings? As for the effects. Only overspeed and stalls are implemented. And the stick will move when trimmed. Maybe, I keep forgetting, you can feel the seems in the concrete blocks when taxiing.
Cheers!
