FS FORCE

Posted: **Sun Nov 30, 2003 12:22 am**

First I want to tank you Russel for this great program!

My impressions:
I've install whit no problems, disable all forces and unsign the trim buttons. But when I start the FS2002, the trim, on the panel, still moveng. Check again if it's unsign but still moving.

And the ground forces only works when I use some rudder, if my joy is centered, the ground forces dont work. I use the MSFF1 whit XP Home.

In the VA the ground forces do not work too. Eny idea?

I've tried different planes but still not working!

Another beta tester has report problems with MSFF1. Will keep you posted. Make sure you have all the latest drivers and patches for that joystick. Apparently there were some problems with that joystick when it first came out.

Ok Russel. Dowloading right now the new 4.0 driver for him. Later I'll post the results.

Well, after a long search for drivers for the MsFF1 I've try a 3.0 version that work in XP.

The problem persist. The only set that works are the Saitek Grooves. And the hard response in rudder when try to make the plane stay in the center line when running up for takeoff. I reduce the Cornering force to minimal, but still get strongest forces. Still not feeling the trim forces. This is a isolated problem whit the MSFF1? If so, there is a way to solve?

Regards

btw. I was unabble to find latest driver for th MSFF1.

I've installed the 4.0 drivers for MSFF2 and the problem persist!

At this point it starting to look like the MSFF1 is not compatible with FS Force, however I wouldn't give up hope completely. If I could get my hands on one of those joysticks, I could possibly get it working.

The other thing that I'm thinking of is to adapt a test utility that I've got and send it to you. You could run some tests and report the results back to me, and maybe get the program working.

The bottom line seems to be that the msff1 is an older joystick, and it doesn't seem to support some of the advanced DirectX effects I use in my program. When I get some time I'll try and get the test utility ready and send it to you.

Cheers
