Yes there's a laser sensor,

You have to make sure the holes don't get clogged with dust.

There are 2 holes, one at the top and the bottom of the front grip area.

You can make the stick move without touching it if you gently put your fingers around the front of it as the beam is broken the FFB kicks in and the stick moves.

I'd check the power cable. Wiggle the wire about at the plug end into the wall and at the connector into the base and see if you can get the red light to flicker on and off. I would suspect that as the culprit. FFB2 sticks are built like tanks!

The other thing to watch is the USB power load.

Its not a good idea to stick a FFB2 on an unpowered hub with other high power demand devices such as trackIR and optical mice.

Only under WinXP and older Win. No way in Win7 unless you use some custom built drivers or the game has this option.

I use XP, but i never saw any option to do so, unless the file editing is the method that works under xp.

You can edited the FF files for the game (there's a FF folder within the IL2 folders) - you need to download an editor. Or, just search and download some pre-edit files that others use.

EDIT - I see Thor has posted while I was writing, I hadn't tried this since win XP
