Surprisingly, the Win 7 ffb drivers work fine with the MSFFB2 stick and CoD's .ffe files. You can't edit them, but you can delete any you don't like. IIRC, the different ffb effects are a little goofy in how they're placed in the .ffe files.

For instance, if you don't like the overdone cannon effects because your stick shakes far too hard and throws off your aim, you can delete cannon.ffe -- but then you also lose stall shudder. (or something like that). Anyone feel free to correct me here.

The only problem I had with force feedback was the excessive stick shake when your plane was damaged. I swear to the Almighty the MSFFB2 would practically jump off my desk! I'm sure I'm not the only MSFFB2 stick owner who quickly learned how to fly a badly-damaged plane back to home base with just thumb and forefinger gingerly holding the stick - desperately avoiding covering the hand sensor and sending the stick back into convulsions again! LOL

As Soko 1 has pointed out all .ffe files are editable, tune them to what you prefer.

Why did you put it in the Box? My SW2FFB works nicely in Win7-64


Pity you only have one SW2FFB.
Because IF you had two of them, your Warthog stick AND a soldering iron...

That is a very bad assumption. I own four MSFFB2 sticks including a broken one awaiting a project...
