clarification re Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2

[ViFF]

Will the fixes to Force Feedback in the upcoming 1.2.3 update include a relief to the issues with this specific stick?

 

One of the most annoying problems is that when I exit DCS it does not "release" the stick FF, leaving the stick without the default "Return to Center", i.e. completely limp and unuseable eith other sims thay don't use FF.

 

Currently I need to disconnect the stick fron the usb AND its power cord for it to be releaed and return to its default state that has the return to center forces enabled.

 

Thanks!

Who says it has something to do with DCS and not the firmware? Isnt it already known around the subject sidewinder that microsoft is somewhat slightly better at creating software than hardware?

[ViFF]

Of all the sims I have that make use of the FF function DCS is the only sim that doesn't release it back to the default state (return to center) when DCS is exited.

 

There are other MS SW FF2 owners that reported the same bug.

There is also another bug related to FFB with the SW2 stick -

Whenever the FFB is turned on i lose around 20-30 FPS, will this issue be addressed to also?
