    MS Feedback not working with blitz

    Hello Fellow Pilots.

    I hope this is not one of those redundant questions that has been asked a million times and answered but I did a search and was not able to figure out my issue.

    I have a Microsoft Force Feedback 2. I have used this joystick successfully with the original COD with the Team Fusion patches. Then came the BLITZ version and the joystick worked initially - in fact I took great pleasure in blasting the wings off several He-111 with the newly available Beaufighter!

    Then something mysterious and somewhat sinister happened. I had not played the game for several months and came back to it - eagerly awaiting TFS 5.0 and now the darn joystick does not work! I went on STEAM and looked to see if there was an issue there. I had seen posts that say to uncheck GENERIC GAMEPAD CONFIGURATION SUPPORT. This was not checked to begin with so that was not my problem. At the bottom of this page (controller settings) it lists DETECTED CONTROLLERS and there is my Sidewinder Forcefeedback 2 Joystick listed. Hmmmm?

    When I turn the game out, the Sidewinder pops to attention, but there is no response in game. However, I can open up the original COD and the joystick works.

    I am flummoxed! I am also not that puter savvy so I don't know what to do at this point.... I am becoming very anxious as I know TFS 5.0 is right around the next cloud and I am going to be a wingless falcon!

    Thanks in advance to an awesome community!

    Hello wobbiebait, welcome.

    Blitz will not automatically use the same settings as you made in original COD, and you did not specifically mention going into Options in Blitz and assigning your joystick to the axes. Please check the axis assignments.

    Do you have force feedback set ON in the conf.ini file located here '\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover'? (Change this file only when the game is NOT running.)

    If you have assigned axes in options and switched on force feedback in conf.ini and it works you might want to adjust things, see this message here: https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...ad.php?t=27436 Adjusting Force Feedback to your preference.

    Bonditaria,

    Thank you so much for the help. That was the answer to all my issues! I am back in the cockpit, able to control my kite again, but still getting my butt kicked!

    Thanks for taking the time to help out.

    Cheers!
