Central MS FFB2 topic - repair, settings and mods

[jermin]

Thank you, Artist! The program works like a charm!

Another question. How can I adjust the hardware dead zone of the stick?

I used to achieve this goal using DXTweak2. But it seems that the program is not compatible with X52, of which I use the throttle together with FFB2. And it doesn't save the dead zone settings.

I don't know what happen to the Screen shot's thread but can we have it back?

Where can I find FEdit version 5?

Also has anyone managed to change the effect of firing the Mk108 in the 109 to something more manageable? I think it uses shake instead of auto cannon.

I actually doubt its existence - I just downloaded DX8.1 SDK, which still contains the V1 version.
Now, where could the V5 be? In DX9? DX10 or DX11?

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but this caught my eye. Did you figure out a way to get rid of the machine gun and cannon shakes without turning off the force feedback from a stall warning? How do I access the GUI?

Thanks,

I guess(and/or hope) it works now the way it should, of course I can't compare.

Yeah that's a bummer.. I hope TD can do something about that.

I had the same Alt-Tab problem years ago with IL2/FB because of that I never Alt-Tab when flying. I guess they must have fixed it at some point.

I primarily use the stick forces... I dont use the full FFB because of that ALT+TAB thing.

They are less than $1 per button. The problem you will run into is finding a distributer that will sell them in a small quantity, like 5-10. I don't need a 100-button bag.

Hey Crash you the same Crash with a lady named Jen? The one that sent me some switches a while back?

Can you be more specific about the stick forces used and not the full FFB? I'm a new user of this type of joystick! Thanks!
