Focha Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hello, Can someone tell me how to set up the force feedback axis in Mi8. I have a MS Sidewinder 2 FF, not problems setting it on Huey, swapping the axis, but I can't honestly fix it in Mi8. Thanks.

Focha Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Try SimFFB if you're after realistic force feedback for helicopters. Amazing piece of software. That solved the trim problem. Just have a question, how to you assign a different key for trimming? Thank you for the help.

Jazzerman Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hello, Can someone tell me how to set up the force feedback axis in Mi8. I have a MS Sidewinder 2 FF, not problems setting it on Huey, swapping the axis, but I can't honestly fix it in Mi8. Thanks. I know you've found a work around, but I noticed when setting up force feedback for the mi-8, swap axis, invert x, and invert y all had to be ticked. Unlike in the UH-1H where only swap axis was needed. As far as using SimFFB goes, I believe you have to assign the trim control to a joystick button in game and it works straight from that. This can't be a keyboard stroke emulated through any software either, it must be assigned as one of the joystick buttons. I hope this helps.

PeterP Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 This is how I have set up the FFB-Tune options for the MS-SWFFB2, and the force-trim works without problems: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterP Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I reported it as bug/design-flaw : Inconsistent FF Tune setting across modules that leads to confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
