Force feedback support

Eventually, although I’m really wondering how many simmers are still using their SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick, made by Microsoft by the way but with no default profile in the game.

This joystick alone warrants supporting FFB by default, the same FFB which again, as I said, was already supported in the FSX code and for which the setting values are still present in the default FS2020 aircraft config files… Which begs the question did they just throw away the FFB FSX code, or is it just a genuine bug with the implementation.

I think in FSX it was only partially supported. In FSX it really benefited for FsForce to give it the correct feel.

In 2020, the developer of FsForce has failed to develop a 2020 version of his software, but another Dev has, bringing out XPforce, which really brings the forces to life.

[PSA] XPForce force-feedback will be coming to FS2020!

I’ve been working on getting this compatible with FS2020 and I can confirm that it’s functioning nicely! No firm release date right now, it still needs a little more work and it’s being hit by the SimConnect performance bug, but it will be available sometime very soon.
