MS FFJoystick Questions

Featured Replies

1) The throttle on the joystick does not operate at the full range. Basically, it's at a 10% to 90% range. I've calibrated it, tried various sensetivities and dead-zones and still can not expand the range to 0%-100%. Yes, the F1 and F4 keys work okay but I would like to get the proper function on th JS. Is there a aircraft.cfg edit to take care of this?2) I've notice with the various aircraft that the forcefeedback levels can vary. One A/C they are perfect, another they barely exist and yet another it practically breaks your wrist. Agian, an aircraft.cfg edit?Thanks in advance.

Answer to your 2nd question, In the Aircraft.CFG, theres a section called Force Feedback Section(forcefeedback)< these are Square brackets in the CFG.gear_bump_nose_magnitude=3000 ; 0 - 10000gear_bump_nose_direction=18000 ; 0 - 35999 degreesgear_bump_nose_duration=250000 ; in microsecondsgear_bump_left_magnitude=2700 ; 0 - 10000gear_bump_left_direction=35500 ; 0 - 35999 degreesgear_bump_left_duration=250000 ; in microsecondsgear_bump_right_magnitude=2700 ; 0 - 10000gear_bump_right_direction=00500 ; 0 - 35999 degreesgear_bump_right_duration=250000 ; in microsecondsground_bumps_magnitude1=1300 ; 0 - 10000ground_bumps_angle1=08900 ; 0 - 35999 degreesground_bumps_intercept1=3.0ground_bumps_slope1=0.20ground_bumps_magnitude2=200 ; 0 - 10000ground_bumps_angle2=09100 ; 0 - 35999 degreesground_bumps_intercept2=1.075ground_bumps_slope2=0.035crash_magnitude1=10000 ; 0 - 10000crash_direction1=01000 ; 0 - 35999 degreescrash_magnitude2=10000 ; 0 - 10000crash_direction2=9000 ; 0 - 35999 degreescrash_period2=75000 ; in microsecondsThe aircraft that feels like its going to break your wrist probably does not have a Forcefeedback section. There used to be a program called FF utility for fs 2002, which would scan all your aircraft and then modify the aircraft.cfg file for you, but I don't know if it works for fs.9, you could try to do a search in the file liabrary.. But what I usually do is just copy the FF section from an aircraft that I like the settings on and copy it to the one I want..Hopes this helps... HAKU
