I hope Hitech takes notice of this thread . I hope you guys posting about good buffet feel soon realize it does not work in this game .At all .The FFB has a bug . One that has been around for over a year and half at least . I have researched FFB alot since I started here . I have also been helped to understand even more in recent months . My wingman in this game ,and the very best of friend wrote his masters thesis on haptics . He is a programmer , and still educating me on the other end of this wonderful stuff . I merely understood what I was supposed to feel . I knew it wasn't right in AH2 my first flight . The buffet effect should be linked to the buffet sound . starting very gentle and gradually increasing as the plane shakes harder . Buffet does not work at all .To test what I am saying turn of stall effect in game ,see how much buffet you get . Stall is also porked . Stall should be linked to stall buzzer as it gets louder stick should get a sloppier feel. That would be a decrease in return to center effect . Becoming less and less as stall horn gets louder . That doesn't happen , since stall buzzer causes ill timed stick buffet . Airspeed ,and trim also do not work correctly . Airspeed increase should cause graduated increase in stick centering force , becoming tighter and tighter as speed increases . That does not happen either . Trim effects is an area , I still have questions in . I am not 100% sure of what it should feel like so I wont say anything I am not sure is correct . The guys that run this thing do not suffer fools gladly , and I hope someday they will fix this . Feeling like the lone voice in the wilderness , I won't risk them totally ignoring me for all time because I ran my mouth when I should have ran my ears . One thing that really discouraged me was when my wingy told me the PROBABLE amount of time to fix it would be . The folks that are HTC state that there is not sufficient interest in FFB for it to become a priority . I think they under estimate that . Run a simple search for FFB in the bbs and look for yourself . I also think <and this is an assumption on my part> they look at it as a gimmick . If that is true , I disagree once again as the military has put device on their fly by wire aircraft called a stick shaker to simulate stick actions that you had by physical linkage . Commercial aviation intrests have also added these to some models of fly by wire , to reduce pilot induced errors . I would love to see a few of you FFB users try my eliminate stall experiment and tell me what you think .
