Thank you Mad G, salutes from Turkey.

This thread will be sticky for a couple weeks to allow members to share information about the MSFT FF2, which is still very popular.

See ones with Suncon F-15 and Thrusmaster F16FLCS/F22 PRO grip too.

Is there any way to increase default force effects under windows 7? I've extended my MSFFB2 stick, so the force feedback effects feel much weaker now.

I don't mind opening up the stick to do some hardware modding, but since I don't know much electronics, I am hoping that someone can point me to the right direction.

Any help? Thanks.

Please note that the materials are calculated on certain strength properties that will not withstand greater forces.
Without very heavy modification there is nothing you can do.

If you extended the usb lead the 5v power loss would /could affect it, use a powered usb hub (http://www.power-on.co.uk/ProductDet...ProductID=5563) nearer to your stick for better forces rather than messing around inside the sick.

I've extended the shaft with a metal pipe of ~5-6 inches or so.

Nope, I extended the shaft - not the usb wire. Either way, the power for force feedback comes from an AC plug, not usb.
