Yes. I've trid it and the home sim feedback systems are a joke. Even sophisticated sims aren't great this way and I still can't see even the most sophisticated sims being anything more than an aid in teaching procedures. Seems like you ought to be able to get a fairly decent setup by using bungees to center the stick and having some motors on the bungees. Move them around to change the center if needed, tighten them to provide more recentering force at high speed. Anyone know how the real force feedback systems work and why my idea doesn't? -- Michael Ash Rogue Amoeba Software |

Someone on the sim forum could probably lead you to a controller that behaves well. Saitek uses Hall-effect sensors for the two main axes of the joystick in some models (X52 and X52 Pro), but not usually for the other axes. It makes a difference. Good for them. They're wonderful.

WEll, tomorrow I'm going to be in a significantly more sophisticated system than that for about four hours of sweat inducing BS and even they don;'t feel right. At least with no feel you;re not getting the notion that you're learning anything by feel. Bertie |

Eliminating Trolls (again)

None of them. It was a metaphor, meant to illustrate precisely how bad Bertie is for this group. OK, I understood the metaphor, but I misread the statement of yours quoted below. I thought the phrase, "Although that may well be true" referred to Hitler and the Jews when in fact you were referring to Bertie having something of value to contribute. My bad. "However, saying that Bertie has anything of value to contribute here is like saying that Hitler made some accurate observations about the Jews. Although that may well be true, the rest of the source message is so distasteful as to devalue everything else he might say." |

Ones like Anthony are ok for a very quick snack. but a true hypocrite, now there's a feast. Bertie |

Bertie What kind of hoops do they make you jump through on those things? What are they trying to assess? Systems knowledge? Procedures? CRM? |
