hilbly, I gave on FF in disgust years ago.  My first FF stick was junk, but I then got a Logitech Wingman force, which was a decent stick - and absolutely awesome when it came to FF.  It died, had been discontinued, and by then the choices were extremely limited.  I used MS Sidewinder FF sticks for a couple of years (which didn't work properly when it came to FF, but was better than anything else I could find), but when the 3rd one of those died, I gave up, and went to a full CH rig.

If there's a decent FF stick available now that isn't utter junk with a hokey gimmicky feature that's actually useless due to poor design, faulty implementation, and even poorer construction, I don't know what it is.

Actually, it probably isn't the game.  WB's didn't work right with the MSFF stick either - although it worked flawlessly with the Logitech stick.  What I'd read was that there were major differences in how the stick manufacturers implemented the API - and the game manufacturers have to practically write a different interface for each stick.

If you are the one sending me emails about this, I have responded three times.  I guess you are not getting the responses.

The 'buffet' feature in the force feedback is not working at the moment.
