Forum - 72a Squadriglia Caccia

I used to use a MSFFB2 when I first started to fly CLoD. I loved it and I still think it was the best stick "feel wise" I've ever used. I ended up changing to a CH Combat stick for other reasons, but that's another story.
When I first started to use the FF2, it would be irritatingly slack on take off and would not center which made takeoffs difficult.

I fixed it by disabling direct input from detecting that the stick is Force Feedback capable.

Basically, with RegEdit,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/MediaProperties/PrivateProperties/Joystick/OEM/VID_045E&PID_001B/OEMForceFeedback

I change the above keys permission to EVERYONE - {"Full Control","Read"} - DENY .

This worked like a champ and had good feel throughout the flightrange of motion. The stick was always centered too. You lose a bit of the guns shaking but I wasn't crazy about that anyways.
