How can this be bad being the thing that makes FFB so great? Most users don't use those sticks still because they shake which is a nice addition as well (pre-stall buffeting!), but because of the dynamic spring that can't be achieved without motors. We are not talking real aircraft and in the end, these are games, even DCS. Every force feedback joystick had a centering spring strength option and it was terrible as it always tried to estimate the center. And a Husky a-1bd, Commander 690b and Citation II say Hi. Spring centered pedals with notches are stupid, they need to have FFB too. The flight sim market may be small compared to racing (is it though?), but if its large enough for a dozen hotas manufacturers many selling $400+ sticks and throttles and pedals, surely it can support at least one modern FFB stick? And FFB pedals. The stick goes where ever the control surfaces are pushed to by the air.Īnd yes, +100 for a new FFB stick.

There is no centering force when you are stalled or on the ground, there is no fixed center position, it all depends on your trim surfaces and AoA. This doesnt exist in real aircraft, in non flyby wire planes the stick is just connected to the control surfaces and air pushes against them which then pushes the stick. Hmmm? The whole point of FFB is that you dont have a spring that pushes the stick to an arbitrary center position with an arbitrary centering force. I would like to see a force feedback joystick with a light centering spring instead of being centered by the motors.
