More Controls Issues - Advice Sought From Ch Owners

[DD_Brando]

Hi and salute

Prior to this time I used a specially modded HOTAS designed and built by a one-armed, left-handed person, namely me. I made it using the internals from 2 Fightersticks as can be seen in this link

Also I have Pro pedals.

Now I'm working on a replacement which will condense a Fighterstick and a Pro Throttle into a single item within the base of the old CH Force stick. Which raises my first question:

Does RoF use force feedback programming and is it useful?

My second question comes as an extra to the latter. If FF is worthwhile in RoF then I have the option to add the effect using a Logitech PCB to read the X & Y axes and send the signals to the FF motors. So:

Do you think this will cause recognition issues with the in-game recognition of my flightgear?

I also plan to use a panel with a Leo Bodnar circuit board and various sliders, switches and buttons. Will this be easy to program?

Thanks to anyone who has any input on these issues

HI Brando, I don't really know about force Feedback in RoF or any other sim but it looks like RoF supports it.

Thanks for that link MT

As far as I understand it, the Bodnar board acts just like a bog-standard stick and works with the native drivers supplied with Windows (7) for the assignment of buttons/sliders etc

Thanks for that reassurance, Nick

Now I just need to know if I'll be able to use a profile for the CH gear, mapped through the CH Control manager so that I can use the three modes and the shift facility. That'd make my day!

I am so bored not being able to fly

Yes ROF uses FFB I quite enjoy it in that Game.

I don't use it in IL2 man reason is I alt tab too much and loose it, so I just turned it off.
