party? Did you mean partially works? If so, I have to disagree, if you want to removed individaul aspects of force feedback sticks, ie things like shake than this works 100%

Let me guess.. Microsoft FFB2 stick? I had the same problem with that stick in IL-2, alt tab would kill the forces completly such that the stick became a wet noodle with zero force. That is a problem with the MS FFB2 sticks, not the game.

I have not tried it, and I am sure you have, but Ill say it anyway.. Did you delete the spring file? In that when the game loads, if it does not find that file it should use a standard constant force, to simulated a typical spring type of joystick.

If you got a MS FFB2 stick than yes.. Sadly there is not much to choose from in FFB sticks these days. I highly recomend that you DO NOT buy the Logitech G940! It is a 'system' per-say, where it consists of a FFB joystick, throttle and rudders. With that said the FFB stick is actully pretty good, but the rudders and throttle are completly worthless wrt sliders! The pots on those two items are so 'noisy' that you will curse them everything you fly! Trying to line up a target with those rudders is a nightmare! One little touch, BAM noise kicks in and next thing you know the nose of your plane is bouncing back and forth.

But, if you have to have a FFB stick, and are willing to sped ~$300 for the G940 with the idea that you will have to toss the throttle and rudder pedels, than that is one way to go.
