Hi All

I bought a Microsoft Force Feedback 2 stick about 5 months ago.
On the whole I was very disappointed with it especially with FS2004.
I had e:mail contact with the MS FS2004 team which lead nowhere.

Then I heard from a fellow who was writing a program to control force
feedback sticks. Not just MS sticks all feedback sticks.

I became a beta tester and I'll say right now....his 1st beta was a
real eye opener! My FF2 stick came to life. The beta testing
progressed very rapidly because Russ had done much of the testing
himself before we got a hold of it. Very few bugs were found.

Here is what I love about FS Force. Force Feedback like you have
never felt before! Profiles for different aircraft. Make new profiles
or adjust/edit the built in profiles. Adjustable ground handling
feedback. Feel the grooves on the runways!!! Adjustable the trim
rates. Adjustable static stick forces. Adjustable braking. Adjustable
landing impact. Adjustable "gear thump" when raising the wheels.

Plus a built in Virtual aircraft to test your setting changes BEFORE
you save them.

I was VERY disappointed with my MS FF2 stick until I used FS Force the
1st time. Now I wouldn't sell it for 5 times what I paid for it.

I am not being paid for this! I am posting this because I have been
reading all the posts about how poorly force feedback sticks perform.
I can't imagine going back to my normal FF2 forces. I have never met
Russ....I don't work for him....I just want to help those of you who
are disappointed with their force feedback sticks.

There is a Demo trial period so give it a go. There is also a FS
Force forum at
