Force Feedback or not?

[Cohen]

Hi, what do you think Force Feedback or not?
Is it worth it's prize? Is it harder to playwith a FF joystick?
and what do you think about rudder pedals is it worth the money???

Rudder pedals for sure.
As for the FF.. personal preference.

Just my opinion.

Rudder pedals are fundamental if u wanna real fly, they improve greatly your ability in acm.
FFB .... its an your choice, ....

Hello Cohen,

I used an MS FFB stick for many years before it finally quit.  I absolutely loved the stick.  For some it takes awhile to get used to the shaking when firing,etc...but the most used feature I used on it was the return to center strength.

For all my flight sims I used a very hard return to center so that when I pulled on the stick I had much more "feel" of pulling to high of G, etc.  

Unfortunately this game does not yet support FFB so unless you play others that do I wouldn't waste my money.  I believe the MS FFB 2 is out and cost around $130 US.  

The only downside to an MS stick is that (unless there's a fix I'm unaware of) you could not use rudder pedals with it and the power plug has a habit of wearing out (this has been "fixed" on the MS FFB 2)

Don't use rudder pedals so I can't comment.

You can use the Simped Vario rudder pedals with the MS FF sticks.  They use a special adapter.
Once you try FF you won't go back.  Even though AH doesn't support FF, I still like the feel of the FF "return to center".

I like FF sticks too, but with the FF turned off   . I find it much more realistic than having the stick always return to center. Springs on a joystick are harder and harder to stand after I started flying for real this year, although I guess I could pretend it's the trim springs  .
