September 4, 201114 yr Hi, I use Logitech G940 for my flying and FS Force 2 for adjusting the forces. This little program allows me to set different forces depending on the type of airplane and on the speed. The higher the speed the more resistance I will feel when moving the joystick. Now I was just wondering how it actually feels in the real 737. Do you feel these forces on the yoke of the real plane or are they more or less constant? Thanks in advance! Antonio H.
September 4, 201114 yr The 737 uses hydraulics so I don't think there is force feedback unless you enter stall speed where the yoke violently shake. PMDG Boeing 737NGX Captain

Hydraulics is fluid so of course there will be feedback.

September 4, 201114 yr Author So the conclusion is that 737ng is fbw and therefore no feedback? Antonio H.
September 4, 201114 yr So the conclusion is that 737ng is fbw and therefore no feedback? No, the NGX is not FWB. We need a real NG pilot to answer your question!! Will ask a few real NG pilots. PMDG Boeing 737NGX Captain
September 4, 201114 yr So the conclusion is that 737ng is fbw and therefore no feedback? No. The NG is hydraulic so there will be feedback. Only the throttles are FBW I think Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

September 4, 201114 yr 737 is not a FBW plane, only the throttles as stated before.Hyd power removes some of the pilot forces, but, the pilot needs to have a feel, so it is artificially created by feel and centering mechanism.(ail, rudder) trim works on this mechanism to change the centering cam position.For the elevator there is a different system. There are 2 pitots on the elevator that senses airspeed and translate this data to add forces to the column. Mach trim works also on the column to change the center.In case of approaching stall the elevator feel shift works by adding more forces if pilots want to pull the columns.There is no "stick pusher" on the 737 as the deep stall is not a 737 problem.Just to tell another thing, if feel systems are removed there is no feel on the control wheel/column.You will feel real forces only with hyd off. The airplane is still capable to fly, you will lose rudder in event of a total (A,B,Stby) hydraulic system failures. Regards Andrea Daviero
