Forcefeedback or no force feedback..?

[*Buzzsaw*]

Salute

The contact points on your stick trigger probably just need cleaning, you might not have to give up on it yet.

But if your MSFFB2 truly is dead, and you do try the paccus hawk, let us know how it goes! haha

Ok, on a serious note - I personally really prefer force feedback, enough that I plan on putting my CH fighterstick grip onto the MSFFB2 base. No time to do so at the moment . Have you thought of doing that? Keep using your MSFFB2 base, and switching the grip for a much more functional one?

I really like the fighterstick, but I also wouldn't want to give up the FFB. I think it really lets you know what's going on with your plane, and that's pretty valuable information.

Digikey has replacement Switches for the trigger and other buttons.

A long time ago someone posted the part numbers.I wrote them down.If I can read what I wrote here they are.

I have not verified any of these.I only put the info in my archives.

Seconded.

The g940 - I think it's being discontinued, but you can still find it around. (Logitech doesn't sell it on their website anymore, last I checked. Neither do other online retailers except for insane prices... but I could be wrong! )

I have a few questions for you g940 users...

When you use it on a lower FFB setting, does the "graveliness" go away? Out of the box it was difficult to move around in a smooth manner - it "ratcheted" when moving. Or, put another way, it had a "graveliness" to it. I took mine back after finding this very annoying and it destroyed my aiming.

Have you used the MSFFB2 before? I'd love to know how the g940 feels compared to the MSFBB2 when the g940 is used on a lower FFB setting. I'm assuming this happened because the g940 is stronger by default, OR i had a bad unit.

The G940 on default settings is very strong and you may have had centering spring turned on as well.

From "graveilness" I'm assuming your referring to feeling of the teeth of the cogs when force is applied? Yes that is there and I would think it's something you can't avoid in any FFB setup. I do have a MS Sidewinder FFB 1 stick and from memory that felt pretty much the same.

The G940 however is configurable and I usually fly with the FFB settings at 70%. But it also depends on how the simulator is using FFB too.
