7 posts were split to a new topic: Microsoft Sidewinder FFB 2 Joystick App to allow discussion of the App without derailing this wishlist topic.
From the moved post:
" I built a totally free app (no cloud, no telemetry, no accounts.. nothing) to get proper force feedback on the Microsoft Sidewinder FFb 2 joystick. It works on Windows and Linux for both MSFS 2024 as well as X-Plane 12. I think it also will work with 2020, just havent’ tested it."
