In recent photos of the people (flight simmers) they had visit Microsoft, they showed hardware Yokes, Rudder Pedals and throttles in use. Does that answer your question?

All I can hope for is this being fuel for inspiration of a hardware dev to make full FFB yoke and rudder controls.

October 26, 20196 yr As long as I can still use my Microsoft FF2 joystick, I would be happy. If they introduced a FF yoke, I would not be able to contain my EXCITEMENT! Stan

FF2 with the inexpensive FS Force module was a more realistic sim control experience. It makes me want to plug it in again and give it a go in P3Dv4 which supports force feedback if my memory serves me right. In any case I shall definitely try it in MSFS too.

October 27, 20196 yr Not used it for years, but the MS FF2 was an amazing bit of kit in its day for the price. Not sure I could go back to it after using the Hotas Warthog and real yokes / columns for a few years, but for a quick bit of simming it was the first piece of hardware I ever added and made a huge difference (had the original too).
October 27, 20196 yr There would definitely be a market for a FF3. I'd welcome it because without FF it's quite hard to feel the plane like you can it real life, it just takes it that little bit further. P3Dv4 + XP11 MFS
October 27, 20196 yr I really loved my FF2 back in the days. Man, trimming the aircraft was such a breeze then.
October 27, 20196 yr YES Please, Yokes pedals & a decent stick.. Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
October 27, 20196 yr Yeah, I would like to see a FF3 being launched with the new sim, but don’t think it will happen. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
October 27, 20196 yr As long as the sim supports the FF2, that's job done for me as far as controls are concerned. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
October 27, 20196 yr I was at my mother's house for the first time in several years a few months ago. I was digging through my old stuff and I found a few things that went straight in my case for the 7000 mile journey back home: 1.) A whole load of IO cards 2.) EPIC card (anyone remember those?) 3.) A complete set of Flight Deck Solutions overhead IBL panels for the 737 NG 4.) and of course, this...
