Central MS FFB2 topic - repair, settings and mods

Looks like a nice convertion. Stick forces shouldn't be too light on landing, but then again you shouldn't be waving the stick about much on the final run in. Practice is all I can suggest, sorry!

I don't really have a problem with take off or landing I would just prefer a little more resistance in a stall fight ....but I will fly with it on to get used to it ... Thanks

Disable FFB in the the GUI - et voilà, only non-adjusting centering force left.

What GUI ? IL2? I'm using Win 7 so that would be the only place .... If I do that I lose all FFB and thats not what I wanted..no worries I'll get it figured out .....thanks

If you disable FFB in IL2 you won't lose centering force.

It will feel very different to a constant force spring stick but has great advantages for controlling the aircraft, you can fly right up to the point of stall with the wings buffeting and feel that through the stick, useful for 109's and spits. The game already has built in return to centre forces and the M$ one in the original stick software isn't required. When this is switched on you have two return to centre forces applied to the stick and it lessens the feel of control, (felt like mixing cement IIRC!). The first time I turned mine off it was a revelation to me and 'flying' started to match RL accounts and make sense. The controls will go light at certain times, but that's how it is and how you can understand what the plane is doing and hence the advantage of FF. I'd stick with it and relearn to fly with stick forces off. If COD's FM is as hard as Luthier has implied you'll need any edge you can get. Best of luck.

I still don't understand! How do you turn off return to center forces?

Just enable FF in the input section in IL2. Unless I understood him wrong, that is what he is referring to. Then on the ground the stick is more or less dead = no return to center. Only when you take off and gain some speed.

So in conf. ini FF needs to be 0 and in game Forcefeedback light should be on or off?

1 = light on in the game. Thats what I have. There is one downside to this, and that is losing FF every time you alt-tab out of the game.

...and, as result you'll have to respwan to make it work again.
