wheelsup_cavu Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) I have read that Win 11 finally breaks the Force Feedback in MS FFB 2 joysticks though. 😕 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/microsoft-sidewinder-ffb2-no-forcefeedback-in/11032052-90c0-4d85-a988-7639febb3e8a Quote Good day Thank you for using our Microsoft Community! From your description, Windows 11 will not support FFB anymore so we suggest you to use Windows 10 which is compatible with FFB2. Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

Very sad news and hard to understand why this is the case. No Win 11 for me then. Happy landings, Talisman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not comprehensible, MS is getting weirder and weirder! 1 Quote Gruß Amarok o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarok Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Just to understand: If the application (BoX/DCS/CoD) supports/bring FFB, should FFB work or is it mandatory for W11 to support FFB? Does alternative software/driver for FFB exist? 1 Quote Gruß Amarok o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelthos Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Do not have a FFB joystick, so cannot verify, but I know on some other sites like the MSFS forums some users have reported that XP Force will get FFB work on Windows 11, at least in some flight sims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappaman Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 W11 blocked the driver install for my Saitek X-55 Hotas on my new build, just awaiting delivery of a VKB Gladiator Evo Premium (they now have a UK distribution site, but limited availability) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they're great sticks for those with a slightly tighter budget than the real high-end pieces of kit. The build quality is really nice still, and VKB can replace virtually every part inside of their equipment so really they should go on for years. I recently bought their rudder pedals too, and whilst they lack toe-brakes, the quality is obscene for sub £200. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , playing on gamepads since original il-2, my intrudaction to flying games come from ps1 so it was only natural to use what i had for other games, did try for some time with sticks but didnt notice any advantages and gamepad is more confort. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I use an old Microsoft FFB stick with W11 and it works great. I didn't have to do any fancy juggling. It just works. But it works best with a powered USB hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to give that a whirl since mine keeps losing the FFB functionality. Wheels Quote Download Missions, Skins, & Essential files for IL-2 1946 and several other game series from Mission4Today.

CountZero Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Saw this on GB forum, guess If it has sticks it will be good enough 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
