Beta Test: Old FFB joystick (ffb on) Linux - MSFS 24/XP12

There is quite big gap between unpowered stick and zeros for all forces. I think that the minimum centering force is too much for the most helicopters.

  • I think it's definitely ready.  I saved a profile and flew two  flights today in both a Cirrus Visionjet (from Seattle to KSUN in Idaho) and a GA Cessna (this was a short one), and I really enjoyed my

  • Really impressed with this program, Jonathan.  I really like the fact that your program allows the Microsoft FF2 joystick to have an excellent spring effect so that the joystick centers beautifully.

    I’m surprised your announcement didn’t get more traction. There are a lot of us (or at least I’d like to think so, judging by the FFB requests on the official forum) who still use FFB2 in every sessio

Yeah I have never flown helos in the sim so have zero clue on what's right or wrong here, or even how to set it up for a helicopter! 

Happy to tweak stuff if you know how to do it.. if you can tune a profile that is mostly ok on a helicopter and send it to me, i can investigate

Very close to launch! Just trying to track down an annoying crash that is affecting ~5% of users on windows. Once that's fixed, v1.0 should formally launch. But it's pretty much at a 1.0 state for the majority of people, so go ahead and try it out. Even if you don't have the stick, I would very much appreciate feedback on the total user experience, from the website to the email to the download to the actual app. 

And of course, it is, and will remain, totally free. My website is  built with a very strong emphasis on privacy. Basically, I built the app, website, and support experience that I would like. 

I'm glad I have been able to contribute in a positive way to the flight sim community. I've had a lot of fun with this project, and have many ideas for new products with the same level of polish, ease of use, great documentation... and generally, that feeling of quality. And first class Linux + Windows + MacOs support. That's the goal for any new app I create 🙂

I got a lot of feedback from many of you, and that was very very encouraging. Thank you all!

For those who had crashes - try a different USB port. Try plugging directly into your motherboard, try different ports. A user reported success with a simple replug into a new port - the crash went away and it all works great
