FS9 tragic FF any progress ?

[Transit]

Hi Guys,
Do any of you Guys use FF in FS9/FSX ?
Always find it the biggest letdown, such great graphics let down by shocking FF .
I had a trial version of that FS Force addon but can't say it turned on the lights.

What settings do you Guys use... ?
MSSWFF2 here

I'm used to the feel of GPL.
Maybe it was an executive decision to dumb MSFS down


cheers

Yup - tragic is a good descriptor. I briefly toyed with FF on FS9 but found it to be ridiculous in the way that it implements helicopter feedback. I used my brothers Logitech Wingman FF joystick and had to hold on for dear life as the handle flew widly around in circles whenever I touched the collective!! Totally unrealistic!! The FS9.CFG and aircraft CFG's have lots of FF parameters which could help improve the experience, but I felt it to be more of a gimmick rather than an enhancement for my simming.

Best of luck sorting it out!!

Oh well I downloaded the FS Force app again. I do remember it being worth it just for the realistic trim forces.
Will be interesting how the gamer laptop handles FS9 with everything on. The last guys was doing shooters on it so should be good.
Hopefully I can hdmi it to the 32in tv
