Central MS FFB2 topic - repair, settings and mods

[Sully_pa]

@KG26_Alpha - I was trying to get the spring to hold center tension all the time .. to stop it from going light/limp at slow speed 's .

@jameson - The forces only go light at slow speeds, landing,take off,stall as I guess they should ...I wanted to eliminate that and keep the tension like it feels at 300kph all the time while still getting the other FFB responses. My stick has no IR holes anymore as I've modded it to a X52 Pro FFB2 and never lose it .

Ahha a XFFB52

As you know with the beam permanently broken the DC servos will be on all the time the sticks powered up.

I'm not sure what you mean by "centre tension all the time" as my MSFFB2 progressively produces resistance as you head to stall point then buffets the stick at stall, the rest is smooth loading of the stick forces as the control surfaces load up when manoeuvring depending on speed and AoA.

Low speed "limpness" is realistic of low resistance as there's less air pressure on the aircraft's control surfaces.

I'll have a look at what you want in FFE, but it seems strange to want high speed at low speed force across the range.

LOL Never thought of that .

I know ...maybe I'm not looking for high speed but something in the middle ... I was messing with the editor but no matter what I do I can't seem to get it. Just a little more/some stiffness/tension at idol .... Thanks for looking into it .

I keep it unplugged unless I'm using it. As I imagine it could wear it out faster.

Thanks again.

Looks like a nice convertion. Stick forces shouldn't be too light on landing, but then again you shouldn't be waving the stick about much on the final run in. Practice is all I can suggest, sorry!

I don't really have a problem with take off or landing I would just prefer a little more resistance in a stall fight ....but I will fly with it on to get used to it ... Thanks

Disable FFB in the the GUI - et voilà, only non-adjusting centering force left.

What GUI ? IL2? I'm using Win 7 so that would be the only place .... If I do that I lose all FFB and thats not what I wanted..no worries I'll get it figured out .....thanks

If you disable FFB in IL2 you won't lose centering force.

[Sully_pa]

I know but I'll lose the guns and buffets ...thats what I'm trying to avoid ....I want constant centering force with Cannon,machine gun, shake,bomb and morter FFB.

I'd love to see a little "how to" presentation on the XFFB52 mod.

How does the X52 handle solidly attach to the MSFFB, and how about the wiring?

This stick looks like the "killer app". Bravo.
