First time poster. Will this game work with force feed joysticks like the Saitek Evo? Will it offer any of the forces? I recall in Red Baron 3d it worked. You could feel a stall starting, etc ... Thanks JSkellington

IL2 has an excellent FF implementation, I'm hoping to see something similar from KOTS.

Yes we have talked about this before Viks, thanks for the reply though, I'm still hoping

As I fly low overhead you'll get plenty of feedback from the handle of your trench digging shovel .

As someone who has flown real aircraft, I can speak with some authority when I say that Force Feedback joysticks are so unlike the real thing that they are actually worse than no force feedback.

That's your view and you are entitled to it, Benny.
Clearly this is a matter on which some subjectivity is going to come into play. I also have some experience (C-152, C-172 and crappy Royal Canadian Air Cadet glider Schweizer 2-22 and 2-33) and couldn't disagree more.
I think that the implementation of FFB in both Il2 and MSFS9 (don't have FSX) is quite good and I certainly hope the NeoQB team implement it from the beginning. If we have to wait for the first add-ons, I can live with it.

That's not really the point, is it? If we were concerned with the real thing, we'd shoot ourselves everytime the screen went black. The point is that a good FFB stick makes flight sims, particularly combat ones more playable for a number of people, and if it's possible I'd be delighted if RoF implemented FFB.

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to ask Oleg politely and get the programming bit for FF... - I'm sure he wants to play this sim as much as the rest of us! Thought the same myself, aren't Oleg's bunch in the same building or just accross the street?

Although RoF is not a direct clone of the licensed Il-2 engine, it's had some tweaks - the controllers' core routines would be the same under if it ain't broke rules
I can speak with some authority
Authority is something that's earned by virtue of one's words or deeds, authority is not something that one can simply claim.
Starting out with modest claims that most people agree with would be a start.
I'll go first.
A force-feedback stick's control authority is more or less realistic depending on the (virtual) plane one is flying I should think, and on the stick's sensitivity etc settings

The key to force feedback always comes down to refining the settings.
My one foray into force feedback started out as a very negative experience, as the factory defaults were too exaggerated. I toned it down and it was just fine in translating some of the cues of flight.
I suspect that Benny's experience with it was the same one I had out of the box. Gambler probably had his stick adjusted down to a more reasonable setting.
In the end it was sort of like a gimmick to me, and I didn't replace it with another forced feedback stick when it died.
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

MS ForceEdit is around for tweaking the impact of the shuttering cracks on concrete runways for example, allows editing of the dot ffe files in the ForceFeedback folder

There's also that useful stop gap utility knocking about that turns your MSFF2 into a normal self centre stick if things go pear shaped Meant for Sidewinder wheels but works with sticks as well. http://www.tocaedit.com/forum/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=33
