Central MS FFB2 topic - repair, settings and mods

[Azimech]

This is my preference but if you or anyone have better settings or ideas for even more control ... don't hesitate to post them.

I setup my MSFF2 elevators, ailerons, and ailerons.....starting at around 28 with a slight convex curve to 100. This takes away any twitchyness around center, but I'm not sure how it would effect a long extension.

with extension, i run 100 across the board. Formation flying becomes so much easier with the extension. Best mod ever. Aside from getting MSFFB2 of course

Azimech,

I tried your settings, and like them a lot. Thanks. I flew them in a Hurricane and an ME-109. Which leads me to a question. I find the Me-109, from 320-370 kph "bucks". The joystick jumps around as I get to 320, and then quiets down after I get above 370. Is that common? If not, any ideas why it does this?

I had to do a repair to my trigger switch, so whilst i had the handle in bits, I ran a couple of wires up from the buttons on the stick base into the grip. Here's a couple of pics of the switch placement:

Awesome. I was thinking about doing the same thing - how do you like the button positions?

[FS~Valisk]

I'm really pleased with the positioning. The thumb button is very slightly beyond the rest position of my thumb so that I have to make a conscious movement forward to use it. This works really well in practice. The second switch falls directly under my middle finger.

Well worth doing!

[Azimech]

Good idea. I'll do the same.

Well what I've been fearing for some time has finally happened today! With only about a month to go for COD to come out and button 2 on my trusted FFB2 is failing. It hardly works at all any more.

I'll have to reassign cannons etc. to button 3 for the time being.

I had a look at the Omron website for replacement switches but can't tell which ones I need. The ones mentioned in older posts e.g. doesn't seem to exist anymore. Does anyone know what type to get nowadays? Is the button 2 switch the same as the trigger?

I think I'll stick with button 3 for now, I rarely use it and if the trigger fails then I'll try to repair, before replacing them I'll try cleaning them like in the old UBI thread first.

All axes on 100%. Anything below is too sluggish.
