Sidewinder Force Feedback 2
 
Sidewinder FF 2

Installation

"Upon getting the Force Feedback 2 out of the box I was impressed by the solid feel of this stick, in the weight stakes it was right up there with my old Thrustmaster Pro.

After reading the many warnings both on the manual and a sticker on the USB connection I decided that Microsoft was serious, they actually wanted me to follow the instructions and install the software before plugging the stick in.

Anyhow the installation was painless and quick. I then got under the desk and plugged the joystick into the USB port, at this point I started getting very excited as I heard the ‘windows beep’ of recognition.

I didn’t want to get too overconfident, but Wow it seemed that this device would/ could maybe work as advertised! 		 

Hat switch and weapon select buttons Throttle control

Rudder control is achieved by twisting the stick

From experience I try not to get to whipped up at this point in the installation of any device as I’m sure the computer can detect the adrenaline flowing through me and tries to teach me a lesson by making me spend the next few hours (or days) tinkering to get the device or program working."

That would be "Murphy's Law" in action - MiGMan

"I’m happy to say that my fears were unfounded because the joystick worked fine."
