There is still the matter of the game losing force-feedback on my Microsoft stick. In nine years of flight simming with every one available in that period, I have never lost force-feedback in a stick. This is definitely new.

Hey

I use the Saitek throttle quadrant and it works perfectly. I do not have a Force Feedback Joystick, but as far as I remember it, that was a major problem from the very beginning of the game. I hope, someone with a Force-Feedback Joystick may help you here.

As for the throttle-Quadrant: Have you tried to put ALL other axis to 0% or 100% when you set up an axis?
Because if you (e.g.) want to set up axis y but you have axis x ond 56%, it may select axis x instead of axis y you want, because axis x is flimmering and flickering a bit ond 56% what the game recognises as movement...

As for the rest, i can very much understand your frustration. Getting trough the GUI (and its bugs...) and understand it is a very enerving issue, but at least for me it was worth the time...

This might as well help you with bombs on your bombers: http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...ead.php?t=4625

Hello Leit. Nice to see you up and running again. 'Fraid I can't give you much help on setting up your controls, though I know several people with set ups similar to your own who have made it work. Some good links given here though and your best source of info is probably the ATAG forums these days.

Can't tell you much about bombing in a Blenheim either. I appear to have become attached to the rotol Hurricane - it's the aeroplane of a gentleman!

However, I do use a MSFFB2 stick and I'm afraid to say force-feedback only works properly for card carrying Democrats in this sim. For the rest of us mere mortals it's a rather hit and miss affair. Some claim ffb works for them if they fire a few rounds before take off. Others that ffb cuts in whilst flying slowly. For me ffb starts to work when the airspeed exceeds @300kph in single seaters. Once it's working it stays working until reduced to landing/approach speeds when it disappears again. This makes take offs and landings doubly exciting!

Good luck with it.
