Vintovka Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Amazon has 2 MS FFB2s preowned right now for 50 ish USD. I really wish I could afford one of them but I cannot at this point until a bit after my huey purchase. Looks like it'll be the 3D pro with ghetto freetrack for now. At least with the MS FFB2 I can later use it to mod a CH fighter stick or something into that crazy PeterP mod.
hannibal Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 you still have time to build actual helicopter controls i.e. collective and cyclic. when i built mine, and had a friend use it for the first time flying a helicopter (ka50), he flew it like a champ.. check out simhq.com, hovercontrol.com, they have sections on pits.. and ppl's homemade controllers find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179

I have some background into electronics but even PeterP's mod looks very technical.

I know I can buy used but I don't want to buy someones used junk and I'm reading driver support isn't there. Although I guess you can get it working in win 7 its not exactly plug and play. Why doesn't anyone make these any more? I had a ffb stick for awhile but don't know what the heck happened to it. Its probably in a corner somewhere in the attic but its spooky up there. Not to mention hot as hell. I see g940 going for more than a WH now that they are discontinued. One on ebay is 800.00, crazy! And new MSFFB are 500+ even crazier! Edited April 23, 2013 by pii
Krebs20 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I rated the WH lowest because of the center "bump." It messes up a hover. I will leave it at that until release. Everyone can make their own judgment then. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
