As much as I like FFB the game itself has issues that are more urgent than any FFB.

I can live without FFB for now but optimisation and dials etc not working is far more important

Please Devs, check the complex engine management also, it is bugged!

Off course all of us can live without it while they fix the most urgent bugs - the problems is that Ilya has never addressed this issue at all. The silence about it really is starting to get annoying. There are hundreds of posts about it and a simple answer that they will do it after fixing more urgent issues is fine.

So Ilya - just say that "Yes, naturally we will add that somewhere down the road" is OK!

We don't demand it next week - but as a rather large bunch here has G940 systems or MSFFB2 sticks it would be good to just know that we are not left in the cold? As it is now the G940 system is totally crippled in CoD. As Logitech is THE only peripheral manufacturer that the large masses know about their top of the line system not being supported in the "ultimate simulator" must be a very bad business decision?

An yes, If you think: "what a whining" bastard - of course it will will be done so why are you FF bunch whining?" The reason is JUST the lack of information which is just silly if they are really planning of doing it... FF support is not a "nice to have" feature in a modern flight simulation. Period.

And I have been accused of being a fan boy so many times the last weeks so this is really my only issue with this game! The rest of the stuff will get fixed!

Sounds good.... i had cancelled my preorder but will buy the game as soon as FFB is implemented... no FFB = no buy.

I realise you cannot give specifics, while I didn’t mean the no ssao mod specifically, there are mods that already change in game textures and remove mipmaps in an attempt to improve performance, surely these are going to trip the same code that checks for texture changes affecting the rendered image. Unless you are going to check each report with the mk1 eyeball surely there is a risk of a vac ban using this type of mod.

Some of steams Vac bans have been a little overzealous in the past, because of mods taken online, and while I have never suffered from it myself others have and steam are non too keen to revoke bans once they are in place.

Oh and to add to what others keep saying, we really need FFB, I for one will not play until its included and would rather play ROF which has ffb.
