Anyone using 'FS Force' ?

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Hi Guys,
One of the main reasons I didn't persevere with FS2004 was the poor in-flight force feedback.
I read about this application called FS force that is supposed to lift the FF experience.
Do any of you use it ?
What do you reckon?
I will try the demo when I get my MSSWff back from a friend.

cheers

Choice, will be interested to hear what you think.
It was BoB WoV that gave me the tip stall shudder and varied control weight I was after.
Maybe this app gets there too

Ok I tried out the demo for XP.
I think the update for FSX has a bit more functions.

This thing is really good!
I had been flying the DH88 Comet
and was sick of the ridiculous FF. Loading up FSForce made a huge difference.
Elevator trim is excellent with great feel as the aircraft trims out. Controls are well weighted with no nasty spikey dead spot.
The DC3
is great too with a real feel of weight to the plane.
There is only one problem I can see ( apart from paying for it biggrin.gif
It doesn't detect turbulence !
Which is a bit of a bummer as correction becomes a visual thing.

The trial has 10 flights but can be repeatedly downloaded apparently.
I'd shell out for it if it did turbulence.

I have been experimenting with Track-IR , you with Force Feedback , fact is you are operating a module away from Flightsim .. you can get the buffering and sink of turbulence on a screen but will not operate back to the stick , one reason i never purchased a FF control .

I was a bit keen to try Track ir in BoB WoV but got sick of shooting things biggrin.gif

Buffeting and turbulence are there in the ff in game I think, but horribly translated.
FSForce needs to communicate more with the sim
maybe it is too hard to implement
