Force Feedback

[catar]

I just spent 3 hours + to figure out how to get G940 to work and it's useless.No profile,no amout of changes makes any difference.The huge centering force is still there even after turning it off in profiler settings.Only option is to unplug it but then the joystick becomes all slopy.Hope they fix this at least get rid of that centering force if nothing else

theres a better solution, posted in the other G940 thread as well.

1- change settings in profile to enable centering spring in FFB mode to your desired %
2 - load up a sim that actually supports G940, unlike this one, eg a10c or Ka50 or even old IL2 titles
3- start flight in a quick mission or instant fly
4- quit that game and then load up COD. the settings applied to the J/S should remain on the stick after the other program is closed. In effect you're borrowing the other games J/S settings.

kind of embarrasing for IL2 that users have to rely on another game to make this one work huh

Even though I think that leaving out FF support in THE definitive flight simulator is impossible I would be happy enough with a statement from Ilya saying that: "Sorry, we had too much other stuff done so the last months so we had to postpone it. But yes it will naturally be implemented in the future. ".

If you are short of time Ilya a simple +1 on this post will do it...

PS. I hurts to join the whining "we demand" bunch, but as a IRL pilot since 1986 I can't live without force feedback, and I have talked to many other pilots saying the same...

And I do have the game and it IS playable with a G940, I dont know what makes it work for me? It has self centering, but it's not that hard... A far fetched thought... I have the 5.10 software and the 5.09 is still the one listed under the support page for the G940, you find the 5.10 software on the G27 page for example...

I thought it was a bug that my FFB didn't work.

The game doesn't have FFB? It's not a deal-breaker, but it's close for me. I'd rather have FFB than the stupid trees and all that crap.

In fact I'd rather just play original IL2 but I hate the way the multiplayer works (no lobby, etc).

Seriously, how hard is it?

Did you forget how to do FFB support after Il-2 1946 coming out?

DON'T CRAP ON ABOUT PRIORITIES. FFB IS A GIVEN, SO FIX IT.

Excuse me for shouting, but I've waited a long time for this game, and to drop support for an essential feature now is like a punch in the face.

Dear All,
I will try Chappies solution tonight with my old MFFB2. If it works then I will buy a G940 as I will also use it to fly IL-2 RoF and Lockon. I suppose we should give Olegs group time to recouperate. I think they must have known that there would be a lot of issues to attend to to say nothing of that damn epilepse filter. I really do hope that at some point they will include FF because if not I will be discouraged from playing CLoD when I can play any of those other flight sims without any hassle.
However.....I can imagine what it must have been like for Oleg's group in the last frantic weeks before release of CLoD, so I do understand that we need to step back and look at it after we have all calmed down. Then things could be incorprated in good time..........we just have to be patient.
regards,
Pike.

Pike, Chappies solution may work for the G940 to keep the spring center tension lighter but it won't give it FFB and the MSFFB 2 works in game just fine no adjustments needed from the get go just no FFB.
