Force Feedback

Oh that sucks

I hope we'll get something soon, it's really not the same without FFB.

It's like the difference between a manual and an automatic car, you get a lot more feel for what the cars doing and what speed it's at. I hope they don't put in the psycho recoil effects that IL2 had, if they do I hope we can zero out the files like before.

Luthier has confirmed there is no Force Feedback support in CoD.

That means there`s no FF yet, it adds to the immersion of a game and I ain`t a big fan of the floppy stick feeling of not having it (that`ll get jumped on I know lol).

I took the following guote from one of the Russian forums, Luthier was asked a few times if force feedback was supported in CoD. The orginal question is in bold italics.

Re: Future Project Battle of Britain

Where the feedback control devices. No need to ignore the issue. (After a while one of the posters got a bit irate at Luthier repeatedly ignoring the FF questions)

Here is Luthier's response

"While I can not say for sure - sorry, we like it had never promised it all the time we have been postponed for later. And now more important issues do not allow her to give."

So it looks like no force feedback effects are in the game/sim, nor do they plan to add it in the forseable future. This has been confirmed by people who own the game and now (finally) by Luthier.

If you have a force feedback joystick and absolutely cannot live without the effect then CoD will dissapoint int his regard. If you can get past this omission it then it might, just possibly but no promises, make in to the game in the future.

DAMN!!!!!!! I have a force feedback joystick and absolutely cannot live without the effect! Force feedback is vital in my real-life AND virtual flying. Anyone telling you it's not important is totally bullshitting you. It goes beyond buffeting effects and increasing stick forces. If you've experienced the way a flettner trim tab works in reality and in sims like condor, you certainly don't wanna miss it in what's supposed to be the next best thing in the virtual skies. One more reason for me not to buy CoD.

I've literally just reinstated my UbiShop order for a CE of COD after being delighted by the news about the removal of the epilepsy filter and then I read this thread.
FF shouldn't even be slightly optional as a development task, it should be essential. I even bought a backup MS Sidewinder 2 just in case my 10 year old stick failed whilst running this sim. COD improves some aspects of IL-2 but after 8 years of dev they've also managed to throw away much that made IL-2 great. This needs adding in a patch if COD is to be credible.

The same for me! That is not acceptable!!!

Grr... I really dont want to be negative about a game i haven't even tried yet but no FFB?

Once you hav had FFB there isn't any going back! It adds so much to the immersion and feel of flight (even though its not strictly accurate) and helps you fly closer to the edge of performance. It works in IL2... why not here?

Seriously? A modern flight sim which focuses on realism that doesn't have FFB?

Buster_Dee · #9 04-05-2011, 01:22 AM

Ouch. I beat the bushes for several months to find a FFB2 after demise of gameport cards ended my affair with FFB1.

I really, really, really, really, really hope this isn't a dead issue.

I wouldn't worry about FFB. There are too many new high dollar HOTAS coming out for sale. It is too big to ignore is what I'm saying.

It may take a while, but I suspect it will be available before the middle of next month.

This little bugger can give you immersion from the bottom up.
