Microsoft Force Feedback 2 work with AC7?

[G00SE17]

Before I buy AC7 does anyone know if my old-but-responsive Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick will work?

[geryboy85]

right now official support is Hori and TM with their recent console refresh sticks.

TM has a software for their other products:

you will have to use 3rd party software to simulate the axis of a controller with your stick.

Not sure if your stick is supported by software, best to try it out on a different game.

search other threads for 3rd party software, forgot the name.

No it won't work. There are only four console joysticks that work.

it fully works with TocaEdit Xbox 360 Controller Emulator. Use the 64bits version.

@digAd Sure doesn't seem to in my experience. AC7 just defaults to keyboard after all of the setup done in TocaEdit. Any advice or links to tutorials?

Have you tried x360ce?

[dhuff]

Yes, I have. I can get the HOTAS 4 to work using x360ce 64-bit but it is such an inferior stick I cannot enjoy the game. When I set up x360ce the same for the sidewinder FF2, it never shows up in ACE 7. I have uninstalled both, reset everything many times. The game just says "attach controller". If I enable Xbox support in steam settings, I can get the SidwWinder mapped AND almost working in the game controller setting except for the twist rudder always sticks to one side. SO close! Everything works but the twist rudder making it unflyable. BUMMER! Looking for other options desperately. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is how i got it to work with that joystick, and without x360ce or v-joy or any other software: https://steamcommunity.com/app/502500/discussions/0/2262438048229929860/

I have not gone back to the controller after getting my joystick to work.

[HEAVYHITTER451]

just bought it stick not working time to refund gutted

[deathspeed]

You can use the instructions I posted above for Logitech also. There is a link in there to to the original article on Reddit about Logitech stick. The Extreme 3D instructions are literally what I used for the Sidewinder. https://www.reddit.com/r/acecombat/comments/bty5xn/logitechsaitek_sticks_and_hotas_now_supported_on/

I got it
(Windows 7, 64 bit)
(And this should work for using the Force feedback 2 with all the games as will be recognized always as an xbox controller)

You will also need to use the keys QWE and ASD but feels natural and even easy, go to preferences of steam (My steam is on spanish so maybe some words are different here) and control config, then Check OK, on Xbox controller and then "define buttons", Leave blank most spaces, but use this:
Main action button 0,
Back button 1,
Terciary action button 2,
Secondary action button 3,
Left stick click 5,
Right click stick button 4,
Shoulder button left hat 8.0 (in the gray mini joystick),
shoulder button right hat 2.0 (in the gray mini joystick),
Axys X right stick: axis 0,
Axys Y right stick: axys 1,
Left trigger button 6,
Right trigger button 7

Maybe this can be improved but is a good start to play :)
if i improve my config i will report it here :) also if you have a better one share it here please.
