I have to agree. I'm one of the most positive and optimistic around here and can't fathom what they've been doing the past 8 years that FFB can't be implemented? This is an advanced flight simulator.

I'm all for them prioritizing performance and some other bugs first but I'm astonished that FFB is either going to be left out or dropped far down the list.

We're really going to have to keep on them, in a positive way, so they know how important it is.

Would not harm the community to see future list for upcoming big fixes, and enhancements ( including Force Feedback) still a bit premature for the list, but would prob make those who are thinking of jumping off the ship due to some buggy issues to stay on board longer.

I'm not much surprised. Barely any joysticks sold today that supports force feedback. Two? Anyway, another good reason to sell my G940. Logitech's near-nonexistant support for the product was infuriating, and then this. It just isn't worth the hassle. The notchy feel of the force feedback stick is kind of a put-down also.

Question is what to use instead? I have a cheap twist logitech stick that is very comfortable and practical and a saitek quadrant (three levers) that I used with some old G25 pedals before I bought the G940. That setup was comfortable and practical. The CH Products call to me (I first bought a F-16 Combat Stick & Throttle in 1996, but those are now defunct). They aren't available here in Sweden, plus the stick has a very long uncomfortable throw which is bad for wrists. Hmm.

+1 for the FF support.

Hopefully we will get it in one of the future patches.
