Heh, nothing changed with the tech rapid.
Only thing is FF2 is way better than other force feedback in the market.
The response and feel of FF2 is far better than the competition.

Hi Norwegian thanks for your reply.
I was told that the only FFB you will receive via a FFB stick is better trim function all other tactile feeling will not be present.
You are correct about Microsoft they did make a better FFB stick but in regards to a new HOTAS set up you have to be looking to the new genaration that are out right now.
Logitech have the latest FFB HOTAS out right now. Saitek and TM looks like they will be going over to Force Sensing.
The G940 will give you better trim and thats it no other sensation. As for FS Helicopters dont have force sensing cyclics.
So my point here is which way will people be going on this.

is anyone here using the new Logitech setup with Black Shark? I'm looking to replace my dying/flaky X45 setup and I'm thinking either the Logitech or a CH setup.

What is the difference between FFB and FS? I mean, what happens in game? What is the difference in what your hands feel?

FFB = Force FEED Back if the game supports it you will feel movement as you turn stall ect....

FS = Force Sensing = stick does not really move at all although very slightly, you feel no sensation at all, the stick will sense the pressure that you apply to it and will transer that pressure into movement for your aircraft.

For BS with its dynamic trim system I'd go with FF, my MSFF2 works great with BS and the new Rise of Flight WW1 sim.

This will surprise many of you...
