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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) . 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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
