Request for help with MSFF2 joystick

Post by Talisman » Fri May 07, 2021 11:48 am

Hi Folks,



I find the aircraft control surface force feed-back (FF) very week with CloD compared to all other flight simulations I fly when using my MSFF2 joystick. What I mean by this is that the the control surfaces have no weight to them and at high speed the increased air pressure on the aircraft controls feels negligible and the controls feel far to light overall. It takes a hell of a lot of speed before there is even the slightest increase in FF pressure on the stick. Anyone else find this?



I tried increasing the FF value in the 1C SoftClub conf.ini file on my PC, which was by default set to FF=1. However, no matter how far I increased the number upwards from 1, there was no increase in FF and no improvement. All other flight simulations I use are fine and dandy in this respect, but not CloD for some reason.



Also, I can't find any in-game setting options for FF, but perhaps I have missed them.



Any guidance hints and tips as to how to get better FF, if that is indeed possible, would be gratefully received.



Happy landings,

Hey,

I use a third party programm to set my ffb2 pressure, etc before.
At work now but will send a link later today.

This is the program I use.

SimFFB. Instructions here:
https://github.com/joeyjojojunior/simFFB

Download to the latest version here:
https://github.com/joeyjojojunior/simFFB/releases

It's really easy to use and doesn't need to be run during flight. You can setup the forces and then just click "init directinput" under options.
