I've heard(read? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)) in posts on this board about the planned implementation of force feedback. I was wondering, if a) Is this true? and b) how far down the road is it?
I thought that was one of the great things about "That other" sim, that i could "feel" a stall coming on.. and getting used to not having that feeling has been extremely difficult for me. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Thx!
Hamish!

There will be force-feedback support. Whatever API is used in DX is what we'll use.

Seems like the new Logitech is a nice piece of equipment. There's a review at dogfighter.com, for example.

Sounds good. Will we be able to select different effects? I personally really like the stall buffeting (WB's stall shake is a lot like real life, especially with the stall horn turned off (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)), but I don't care much for the stick getting heavier at higher speeds. I know it _does_ that IRL, but todays tiny sticks just makes it feel cheezy for me.

I'd really like force feedback. Used to fly the Yak 3 a lot in WarBirds and with the wind noise and the stick weight I used to pretty much not need the airspeed indicator in a dogfight. Very useful for chasing F4Us in a climbing fight.

Hmmmm... Not sure if WW2 fighters had stall horn but in real life it's always present, no switch to "turn it off" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Not in the planes I fly, Lynx (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). So far my experience is limited to Bergfalke III and ASK-21, but most gliders don't have them. They do, however, have a very noticeable stall buffet, and WB with a FF stick feels almost exactly like that (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Well... In those that do have them it usually is just a buzzer operating on pressure changes near the leading edge as the wing is approaching stall - a mechanical thing, no switches.
Would be interesting to know if WW2 planes had them though - anyone in the know?
