it's simply that I used to have one of these things, and theres a little switch on the bottom that can get thrown and it disable the FF

Not with this model there isn't. It has a light sensor in the handle, so if you take your hand away it won't FF, But I know FF works in other games and in Retail FS2, as long as I'm gripping the handle.

Could you put that into bugzilla for us please?
Give as much info as you can.
If its never worked in fs2_open thats an important thing to mention.

I'm not sure, I'll make a point of testing the 3.5.5 release I have, since I was using the most recent _t version when I noticed there was no FF. I've never used a version previous to 3.5.5 though.

(Edit: Ok, stock 3.5.5 isn't giving Force Feedback either)

(Edit2: Posted on Bugzilla http://fs2source.warpcore.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124 )

(Edit3: Just to make me look like a dumb idiot, Force Feedback came alive again. The only change I've made is to reduce the center spring strength (The joystick seems to fight itself and starts shaking when center spring is too high), and now FSSCP seems to do FF perfectly. Oddly FS2 1.20 was still force feedbacking regardless.. I've added a note to the bugzillla entry, saying that reducing center spring seemed to bring FSSCP back to life, so maybe this can be ignored unless others have a similar problem, I do apologise)

[Annorax]

It correctly detected that I have no joystick.

[RandomTiger]

marajin, its still a bug, just one you can work around.
I dont have a FF so its difficult to work on this.
I will try and bring it to the attension of other coders.

btw, i cant enable -32bit in the latest build; and its not a check box anymore in this launcher

EDIT: also Fs2 has always had some wird things goin on with force feedback... if Fs2 minimizes at any time or the player tries to swich to another window FF stops responding.
Iv had a little problem with the new builds cuz ill start FSO and if i hit the mouse it minimize and force to the desktop...so ill have to alt-tab it to get it back. byt that time FF is alrady not responding.................

[marajin]

There's a blank text box. just add -32bit in there and it'll treat it as a "custom" flag and add it anyway

[Bobboau]

maybe when we swiched to DX8 the effect got scaled down somehow, never even looked into the input code so I wouldn't know

Actually, for some reason, the latest build (the one without a letter extension) won't recognize the -32bit flag.  It says its an unrecognized tag.  Has the -t32 flag made this redundant, or has it been enabled by default in this version?

Later!

[marajin]

Strange... I'm using the latest _t build that I'm aware of. Mine accepted -32bit, although I did have to get the launcher to add it as a custom flag

[Bobboau]

latest build
-32bit was removed becase it did aparently nothing

[marajin]

OOo! New build! I'll have to check whether it fixes the show stopper in the FSPort missions..oh wait I change.. >.< I now have to replay the missions up to that cause I changed back to the FS2 campaign... Well I'll shout if it still borks horribly :>

[RandomTiger]

As far as I know the input code hasnt been touched.
I only upgraded D3D and added DShow

[JTK-1701-E]

It works well with my Microsoft Sidewinder joystick.  Picked up all three axises (Axi? Axus?)

No worries, I don't think it's anything to do with Input that is breaking the FSPort mission. It's a Crash-To-Desktop

[J3Vr6]

Does that build bobbou posted have the code that randomtiger fixed for the movies playing?

[Terorist]

JTK-1701-E: Picked up all three axises (Axi? Axus?)
Axes.

[Krom]

Joystick worked fine.

No, only I have the build.
And its not fully working so I dont know when it will be checked in.
