Paccus HAWK-First joystick with hydraulic feedback

[xnomad]

I love force feedback and find the game almost dead without it. It's a like a speedometer you can feel. If the stick is slack you are slow, the more the stick tightens the faster you are going. If it starts to flutter, you are on the edge of stalling. I just can't understand that some people don't find that useful!!!

Without FFB you can get distracted in a dogfight and not know how fast you are but an FFB stick will tell you, if you are starting to lose too much speed you will feel it, you don't have to look down at the air speed indicator. That's just like a plane in real life.

Anyway I like the idea of a hydraulic stick but the price is insane. As for looks, who looks at their bloody joystick? It's in your hand! Anyone looking at their joystick is going to get shot down. People put too much importance on looks with tools etc these days.

I like FFB as well, I use it for stall warning, and since I can adjust it very accurately it doesn´t mess up my flying or gunnery or anything, the power of the G940 And looking at that thing... I'd rather stick with my logitech

I love my MS FF2 too. But for years I had the wrong settings. At last I have proper control and the force feedback is stronger than ever.

That reminds me of the old Eskimo Joke!

Mine just arrived a few hours ago* - my ears are wide open for all of your suggestions.



* and when I opened the box, I wondered what kind of p1sshead you must be to sell a used joystick without wiping it with a damp cloth or so before you ship it. This is so disgusting! I even clean my x52 every twice a week or so.

That reminds me of the old Eskimo Joke!

Go ahead.

This is my preference but if you or anyone have better settings or ideas for even more control ... don't hesitate to post them. Maybe there exists a topic for this?

Reminds me of something you get in the adults-shop.

To be fair, every joystick is like that. Force Feedback? Vibration? Center mounted?

Wife always gives me the look when I talk about my MSFFB2

What does the light do? When the force disappears, does the light go dim? If you suspect something is broken, you might want to disassemble it. I have repaired mine once, used another one that was broken as well. They're quite easy to fix.
