Sidewinder 2 force feedback with Xpforce

It is plugged in directly and I tried multiple ports, also it is just with XPforce active in the sim it does it. I will try to repair again but did it once.

I think I found the main culprit! I got vJoy installed for the Honeycomb Bravo trim wheel and it seems like any time vJoy is active at all it interfers with XPforce. Making the joystick disconnect from XPforce when some of the forces gets pushed.

Ah, bingo!
Can you solve it?

Hello,
How to point XPForces to the 2024 launcher?
Thanks,

We have a lot of threads about XPForce and not much activity in each. I think I will compile a list of them and ask the Mods to merge them but they have more important things to battle at the moment.

Anyway seeing as there has been no comment about this question and how to make it work in 2024, I guess it is looking like a ā€œno goā€. This is a big problem for me.

Does anyone know of ANY alternative even if itā€™s not as good. Just ANYTHING that will kind-of-sort-of work?

Or maybe there is a way to hack XPForce to repoint to SimConnect in 2024?

SimFFB is a free one on GitHub but guessing it also needs to know about FS2024. And looks like last update is from 2020 so doubt it will work or what itā€™s even like in FS20.

We are stuck I think folks!!! :frowning:

EDIT: a friend of mine has a new Moza AB9 and that works in 2024 already, so there is that. Expensive though!!

EDIT 2: out of desperation, I wonder if itā€™s worth trying to add the path to the XPF app into the exe.xml in 2024 root folder and see if it works that way around too? Iā€™m not on my PC until Monday to try though. Maybe it would work?

Have you tried this ?

No!!! I didnā€™t see that!! If that works you had better get your defences ready to block several sloppy kisses coming your way from me!!!

Will test on Monday!

It seems to work, although I find the force feedback a little weak.

Runway rumble is neat.
