Hi Guys, I just changed to the Logitech Wingman Force Feedback joystick. Well I really can't get use to it!! Its unlike the normal joystick...The force feedback is kinda strong which I like it...

But its sure not easy to even mainain a level flight.

Anyone using? Care to give me advises etc?

Thanks!

No offense my man. But get used to it, That's how it feels in a real aircraft.

QUESTION: Is it okay to fight the motors on a FF joystick?

Siron,
You can adjust the force and the tension in the Force Feedback software. Try that. I noticed when I ran the FFeedback years ago that sudden movements might sometimes result in abrupt responses from the stick.
After a while I got rid of it and went for the ultimate,

Never was really impressed with FF technology. All it seemed to do was fight whatever I wanted to do. Push forward on the stick and it wanted to push backward. Move it to the right and it would force it'self to the left. Didn't feel realistic at all. Now I'm quite happy with my Saitek X-45 without FF.
