Hey all, [MockSim] 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…

All good ideas. I have created a community forum for exactly this - have users discuss their profiles, and you can also share your profile directly from the app, and check out other people’s profiles to download. Not much there right now, but over time, I hope more people talk about this https://f…

now i want an ab6/ab9 :worried:

While the AB9 is nice and all, I kinda prefer the sidewinder. The AB9 is extremely expensive and you need to be a very serious simmer to really enjoy it - DCS people would love it. it’s also very heavy and VERY powerful, and you really have to be careful. If that falls off your desk on your foot … …

Very nice work. I tried it with my MOZA AB9. I only fly gliders in MSFS 2024. What i liked: nice UI It has working buffets for flaps-, spoilers- and gear drag (none of them work with gliders in the moza software) Has a working effect for when gear is lowered (not working in Moza cockpit with glid…

Thanks for the great feedback. I’ll email you - I have zero experience with gliders in the sim (none with helicopters either), so I couldn’t really make any changes myself - no clue what it should feel like. If you’re willing to test things out, we can absolutely add these features (and more) to th…

Wanted to touch on something here, are the forces on a loop? It seemed that way during the flight check and while flying. If that’s so, can you make it more varied and random?
