Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 flight stick force feedback help?

[Rings]

How can I enable force feedback for my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2?

Negative ghost rider.. force feedback doesn't seem to be a thing in sticks now, so sim doesn't support it.

I have the same joystick, an oldie but a goodie.

That's a real shame. I hope they support it in an update. I see no reason why an arcade style game like war thunder can have force feedback but a full on flight sim cannot.

FSForce are working on supporting it. It's an add on for P3D and FSX that really produces excellent force feedback. I don't know how people fly without feedback.

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 is an amazing product. I just got a second one from ebay. They really are built like a tank.

Ah, that's very good news! I've just bookmarked the page. Though, is this paid or free?

Completely agree with the Sidewinder Force Feedback 2. Couple years ago I found one CIB at the thrift store for $8 CAD and bought it. Worked amazingly well in War Thunder.
Just under a year ago I found another one at the same thrift store for $5 CAD, no box this time. Snatched that real fast. I've used both to play with my friends whenever they come over.

Apparently these are super expensive? If so, I feel very lucky to have gotten two for under $15.

Had mine for 20 years, still like brand new. The FFB is why I've never changed it. Having some issues in FS2020 though with prop RPM not working properly with any positive change on the slider causing negative change on the prop RPM. Apart from that, it's brilliant.

does this game have the features for forcefeedback? if so are there no forcefeedback joysticks produced anymore :p?

3rd party app is in the works.

I plugged mine into a USB port and it works just like it used to. Shows up on the controls page with keyboard and mouse.

I highly doubt that.
