Anyone found a way to lock the twist grip on a MS FFB2?

I have pedals now and don't want the stick twisting in my hand.

I would like to know that too since ill buy pedals very soon...


EDIT: Im affraid well need to do some modding...we must take out the twist potentiometer from the stick... Smile2

I would like to get a pic guid how to remove safely a twist pot so the stick can work properly again but without twist ruder function since the pedals will do a job..

You could put a screw through the grip and the stick to lock it.
Glue would be a permanent solution.

I don't have a guide for disassembling the MSFFB2 specifically but it shouldn't be that hard.
Likely there will be several (recessed) screws on the side of the grip. Remove them and the grip should come off in two parts. Then carry on from there.
Just take your time, don't force things and carefully observe how it is built.

although in some games (like ROF) you can just re assign the z-axis to the pedals....
