SilentEagle Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 My MS FFB2 works fine in both sims, but it will not work in FC2 after I have flown DCS:WH, unless I restart my computer. At first, I just gave in and restarted the computer each time I wanted to fly FC2, but it is starting to get extremely irritating. After I have flown DCS:WH, I have no stick trimmer force and none of the buttons work in FC2, but the joystick works fine in other games. Does anyone else with a FFB2 have this issue, or does anyone know what would cause this issue?
revalence Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 ForceFeedBack 2? Hmm... not sure. Is it an input setting on Windows? Try to reset it before you play...
SilentEagle Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 What do you mean by reset it? I have tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, but that doesn't solve the issue. Only full restarts do.
revalence Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Reset it in the Windows Control Panel... Fairly sure you can do it. On Windows 7- Start>Control Panel>View Devices and Printers>Microsoft Force Feedback 2>Game Controller Settings (Right Click)>Properties>Settings> From here, try to set it back to default, or try to calibrate it. If it doesn't get results, I'm stumped. Good Luck! :) 1

This worked! (Setting it back to default) Thanks for the tip.
AlliedHawk Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Hi guys, I too have a problem with my MSFF2. Somehow my throttle is inverted in the Windows 7 registry files (?). This has an effect on how I want to play BS. I tried the Clear Calibration Utility, and took a hard look at the registry itself, but the numbers confuse me. Also, in the configuration setting, the slider goes from max to 0 (when I slide from down to up), while it should be the other way around. In the DirectXTweak program, I can see both Raw data and DirectInput data are reversed, but I cannot change it back somehow. It is not hardware related, since it does work on an older Windows XP computer. Does anyone have a clue on how to change the slider back to normal? Maybe by tweaking the registry files? Please let me know! Kind regards, AlliedHawk
