Force Feedback Yoke project

I have been flying a lot in the sim. I have a problem with the SU8 not booting properly. I did come up with a work around but in the mean time I did a clean install of windows 11 and reinstalled all the software. I was amazed at how simconnect now affects my ffb yoke. The motors we use are now overpowering. I have had to cut back all the forces in Xpforce to no more than 10% of what they were(normally maxed out).
Basically it acts like a different animal.
I have most of switches and throttle arms mapped in the sim via a little army of arduino boards. Its kind of clunky but it was a solution I could do on my own…
My other interest is in R/c airplanes. I mostly fly in a mode the modelers call FPV (first person view) There is a high definition camera in the plane sending real time video back to me that I view in a set of goggles (very much like the reverb g2). I take off ,fly around, and land via the googles. Fs2020 for me has been really good for practicing my fpv flights. So I am happy with its realism…
I just thought I would chime in and let you know how things are going over here…
