Hello to all. Does anyone here have FS Force? More specifically, do you use a MSFFB2 joystick? If you have ever experienced frequent loss of forces I’d like to hear from you! Or if you have both the program with the joystick, and have never had an issue, I’d like to hear from you as well. Thanks!

As I said in reply to your other post in the Windows 10 forum, I have both FS Force and a MS FFB2 joystick. I have occasionally (very infrequently) experienced a loss of forces but they are quickly restored by using the "ReInitialize FS Force" option from the FSX Add-ons>FS Force drop-down menu. Overall, I couldn't be happier with FS Force - it really transforms the forces in FSX.

Have you ever restored forces, and found that all of the forces were not restored properly? Or do you ever start your a flight and the forces are not correct at the very beginning after the flight loads?

Never had either of those problems. On the very rare occasion that i lose forces in flight, reinitialising has always fully restored them.

That’s the problem I’m having. Something isn’t right and I’ve been searching high and low to pinpoint the problem. I upgraded my GPU. No luck. Upgraded my sim. No luck. Bought another FFB2 stick. Still the same issues. I’m convinced the problem is actually DirectX. I hace DX12. Do you have that as well?

Yes, but only because it comes with Windows 10. However, neither FSX nor P3D uses DX12 - it's just there in case it's needed by another game.

Hmmmmm. Do they use DX10, or DX11? 

FSX supports DX9 and DX10. P3D supports DX11.

I think the problem might be that since I have DX12 installed on my computer, FS Force cannot function properly as it’s only compatible with DX11 and down. I wonder if you can disable DX12, or roll it back without messing with windows 10...

Sims only use the version of DirectX they are designed for. Having DX12 on your system will only affect games and apps that need it. As I said earlier, I have DX12 installed and FS Force works well for me so it's unlikely that this is the cause of your problems.

Do all of the forces work correctly when you use the ForceTest app that's available from the FS Force support page?
