I certainly hope not. Force feedback is the worst thing to happen to joysticks in the entire history of joysticks! It's an extremely unrealistic feature, in all past and current incarnations, and it actually hampers the player instead of helping him as it should. Theoretically, it's a good idea. But I can't see any way of implementing it even half-way decently without causing the joystick to cost over a thousand dollars. At any rate, I hope no resources are wasted on force feedback support. We don't need that gimmock gumming things up.

Yes it will. Just a feeling you understand. The buzz will be back shortly. Microsoft sticks can be set up by the MS ForceEdit application to have exactly the right amount of feedback on pre-stall and concrete shuttering bumpiness, return-to-centre spring etc. Just a little rattling on rolling down the runway, just a hint of pre-stall edginess. Best though with FF kit is the change in the control surfaces under the transition from slow to fast airspeeds, when the ailerons for example lose control authority at higher speeds, both hands. How can you fly a plane with feedback from the control surfaces that feels like nothing at all at any airspeed. It's like- no let's not go there WW1 planes have large control surface areas and all sorts of weird control surface configurations. We must be able to feel the airflow through the stick... high powered planes have a tendency to keep going if something's wrong but a slow plane will fall out of the sky right away if you lose control authority. Plus you're a lot lower for the same time flying so spins will rarely be survivable until we get the hang of it. Proper physics, no training wheels to assist takeoff like earlier BoB sims Especially we'll need force feedback when one is a Camel driver which explains why the WW1 Officers Mess was called the Casbah and why they're all wearing fezzes and false moustaches in some photos Ming

Will KOTS support force feedback?
I certainly hope so, well programmed FF (IL2, Condor) can be very immersive. What we don't need is loads of canned effects, just the weight of the control surfaces please.
If you don't like it you can always switch it off and have standard twangy stick centering.

We don't need that gimmock gumming things up. While I appreciate your concern that resources may be 'wasted' on a feature that you don't care for, a disagree 100%. The word 'realistic' is a joke when applied to combat flight sims in general (unless you are prepared to actually kill yourself when the screen goes black- if so, respect). What FFB does is help give some of the tactile feedback that pilots would experience, even if it is missapplied. I'm guessing you've never used a decent FFB stick, otherwise you wouldn't be saying that it hampers the pilot- I find my Sidewiders 1 + 2 a godsend, and particularly for aircraft of this period, I think it will be incredibly important- only slightly less so than TIR 6dof.

I hope FFB will be included, although somebody needs to release a decent FFB stick - our MSFFB2's aren't going to last forever! (even though it feels like they will last forever!)

Agreed
Motor racing simmers have high level wheels with FFB, what we need is a good quality FFB stick. CH should make one.

If you only get time to implement one FFB effect, can we have loading on the control surfaces please!

To show you how long it's been since I played a WW1 game , all the force feedback did when I played was shake when you used the mgs . The other stuff mentioned would be a nice addition.

Sim , I was hoping there would be FF esp for you so you can stop roughing up your mule there.

An interesting side note is that MS themselves have probably ruined the reputation of FFB joysticks by the disastrous FF support in the FS/CFS series...
Interesting, I had the impression that it was only a few isolated individuals including me, that had unworkable effects with FS/CFS and MSFFB sticks... that's pretty incredible, that their flagship products don't work with their expensively-developed and custom designed hardware. So embarrassing, so MS. Still mad about reading this afternoon that their OOXML is going to be adopted as a standard

Always hated the FS version of FF, totally different to everyone elses, bonkers. I can understand the logic behind what happens (linkage slop etc) but it still doesn't make me enjoy the end result. Yes, the FF has always been bugged for me in the FS series. If you don't like their effects then turning them off leaves you with no centering forces at all

Untill now, we havent work over this feature, but we hope we will have enough of time to complete it before release, so just cross yer fingers I hope so, I can't imagine a prop sim without control surface weight FF.

Yes, the FF has always been bugged for me in the FS series. If you don't like their effects then turning them off leaves you with no centering forces at all Yes - that part is even more annoying than the fact that the FF effects are insane... No way of getting it right. If we could just have a self centering spring effect with our Microsoft hardware. Regarding the FF support in the FS series I'm amazed that they did not fix it in FSX... They are just as bad as ever with the MS FFB2. Limp in the middle and then suddenly jerks back when you move to far from the large dead center - and with a random delay! It's like a strong madman with bad reactions flying dual command with you, trying to counter every move you do...
