It's driving me nuts trying to find info about this, there are threads everywhere with 3 posts in them, but no real word on it.

Please post anything you know... and a word from a mod/dev would be most welcome.

thanks.

Who said that? Would you mind showing me where you got that information?

they forgot? hmmmm.............

[XyZspineZyX]

be aware that if you have more then one joystick, gamepad.... the axis of the other devices is assigned automatically. I found this problem after having my throttle jump from 100% or 0% to 50% all the time.

I have an MS SW FF2 and my only problem is a delay in the btn responses. I have to keep them pressed for them to work correctly (on SFP1, F4, F-15 and F-18 they react very fast).

there are some games that do not use the return-to-center-tension of my force feedback 2. when playing those games, i use the 'toca edit' thingy i found at http://toca.game-editing.net/ . kool tool.

That's a good one !!!! Thanks Apex !!!

Ok , follow this :

Download the file mentionned by Apex earlyer.

Use the "rtc1.3beta.exe" file contained in the zip

- run it
- Press F5 to activate FFB emulation
- Press F10 to activate Return to center
- Press F5 again to reactivate emulation
- Press F8 to disable engine vibration

- Run Lock-on (your joy will become soft again, don't worry)

- Start a flight, and hit F5 again, and Voilà !!

We should remap the F5 in game to avoid changing wiew but it works great.
Will be fine till the patch...


PS: this prog will turn stall effect off but you have a return to center effect at least.
I feel much better now [img]/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif[/img]
