So tonight, I plugged it into the computer and voila! ;), Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary My joy throttle slider is JAMMED with a plastic wedge at '0' throttle using calibration screen. Two of my friends installed Win 10 and after that they have lot of problems with Saitek X52 and X55 they don't work and Saitek hasn't Win 10 drivers yet. In case anyone wonders that specific hardware matters, here is the specs of my rig: ASRock Z87E-ITX, Xeon E3-1245 v3 (Haswell core, not overclocked), 16GB DDR3 DRAM, GTX 760, Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (system drive), Seagate SSHD 3TB (data drive), played at My SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Game Controller works fine on Windows 10. By the way I have six FF2s in my storage. I'd been hesitate to upgrade to Win10 for this very specific reason, as the FF2 is the best joystick I've ever used (so good in fact, I own three, because I wanted backups). All Microsoft Sidewinders are USB and thus 'plug-n-play' and require no drivers. I didn't devote that much time to playing the simulator (I wished I could!) Just need an Arduino-like device and some soldering: https://code.google.com/archive/p/adapt-ffb-joy/. Pretty sure I had one of these in my parents basement about 12 years or so ago. These usually work by having an optical sensor read lines or codes printed on a rotating plate, that return an absolute position value. Given my very light use, I really didn't want to buy a "compatible" one. Microsoft made some legit stuff under their old sidewinder line. Despite how well this system worked, to my knowledge, no other joystick manufacturer, not even the high-end ones, have gone back to using digital encoders. Only downside is the Force Feedback is not as strong as I would like. This thread is locked. the joystick. Cookies help us deliver our Services. I don't know if anyone on this thread ever read my posts concerning throttle control of Sidewinder Precision 2. These suffer from physical dirt and degradation, as well as signal noise, where even if you hold the stick perfectly still, the raw data being sent to the PC is jumping around slightly, and has to be filtered to be usable, creating a tiny amount of lag on the input. They also have to be periodically re-calibrated as the pot's wiper gradually removes resistive material from the surface. I am sharing my experience because, until tonight, I had been unsure whether my Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Game Controller would actually work in Windows 10, reading Microsoft's official compatibility website listed as "Not compatible". The Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro - Still the greatest joystick ever made. I purchased a Saitek cyborg evo instead of this back in the day for my Comanche sims.... always wondered if I had made a poor choice. I have a Sidewinder (not FF) that still works perfectly. Almost certainly gone now. Wonderful, thank you!

I bought mine used, 7 years ago, for $15. I’ve never felt that buttery smooth joystick motion again. Chuck B Napamule Fuck yeah, I'm running a force feedback 2 with my 1999 dell XPS setup. ". First a bit of my own history: I purchased this joystick circa 2008, probably near the end of its commercial availability. Modern joysticks use analog potentiometers, which move a physical conducting rod along a resistive surface to create variable electrical resistance. The FFB Pro's digital encoders meant no filtering, no noise, just your real life inputs being transmitted to the computer as pure as they can be. Back in the day my brother had one of these on his first pc. Just amazing. But the Sidewinder Precision 2 is a sure bet to work good (I have one - for 10 yrs - it works like new.)
