If it can apply very strong forces and be cheap enough (less than 500 dollars), I see a lot of people in the flight simulator community buying this thing from you. Its all up to you guys.
If you guys get together with Virpil and create a force feedback gimbal that can accept Warthog or Virpil joystick grips you will have at least one customer here. For flight sims and space sims this would be absolutely amazing!
Someone placed a patent restriction on FFB sticks, so in other words, it's not happening. Either homebrew something to run on outdated FFB stick software, or buy an outdated FFB stick. Personally I'd be happy with just a cheapo rumble controller rumbling away on my table next to the stick when I start stalling.
@@paristo It was Immersion corp. Microsoft purchased a 10% stake during the settlement. However, even though the FF technology is free as of the expiration, the old DirectX ffb functions did not come over to newer DirectInput. FFB has largely been abandoned not just from the hardware side, but also the software side. Microsoft pretty much stopped caring and nobody else is doing anything about it, so nobody has an incentive to make a gaming peripheral that no-one is sure is going to get good support from devs.
Not the first one. The Logitech G940 had electromagnetic centering and Force-Feedback aswell but that was a buggy mess of an overpriced product and to make it worse they released a firmware patch which was supposed to fix a bunch of bugs but also disabled the FF by default and no way of downgrading back to an older firmware. But what an amazing feature that was, im glad someone else pick'd that Idea up! Shame on Logitech thou for messing that one up
Microsoft and logitech perfected force feedback for flight sim games, 20 YEARS AGO, and let me testify it worked awesome on microsoft combat flight sim 1 and 2! In 2 you landed on the carrier and you could feel every pitch and buck! You felt the hammering of the guns through the stick, you felt it when the wheels hit the deck and the tailhook grabbing the wire you felt like you were yanked back. I showed my dad how to land the hellcat on th carrier and I never saw him smile like that again. Then it all just up and disappeared like it was never there. Now if you want force feedback they have Warthog. For $500. I never tried it so IDK if it even compares to the old force feedback that worked so well.
OMG....AWESOME.....THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. I hope the final product can be more like a cyclic. HOW MUCH? Pricing. Will it work with War Thunder....DCS World....IL2.....X-Plane....Etc. Make more videos You need to develop your software to be compatible with popular simulators and games. YOU WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE A FORTUNE
saw a demo of this where you could switch it to act as a gear shifter. No idea why this isn't being picked up for the gaming community, people pay 500 quid for the warthog, 100 quid for a thrs shifter, releasing this as a gaming peripheral would totally steal the market, esp if there's a warthog adaptor available also.
Perfect choice for Lander from Psygnosis. I really don't know about does Lander supports Force Feedback or not, but if Lander supports FF this joystick and Lander will be magnificent duet to show people the benefits from FF in the game.
Depending on how strong those magnetic forces are, I wonder how it will affect magnetic sensitive things like hard drives. Hopefully they can shield the magnetic forces inside.
if you can get it patented. Way to go. But my guess is that you 'll be suid as soon as you try to hit it on the market; Too bad. Would there be an approx price?

WE NEED THIS JOYSTIK PLEASE PLEASE MAKE FLIGHTSTICK YOU WILL MAKE BILLIONS
time to get in the shed and make my own take on this..
Any update?

@@ToreDL87 That someone was Microsoft, and that patent aged out few months ago. FF technology is free to anyone now.

@@beinrichbimmler7829 The warthog doesn't have force feedback. Maybe you've seen a Warthog attached to a Brunner base, which is 1200 bucks extra.
It was because they were getting sued for Patent Infringement by a company called Immersion, for the FFB tech.

The problem is cost. Their flight yoke using this same tech costs a thousand bucks.
really ? ask boing they can help you to get them much cheaper...
...those FF-Devices were build in airplanes since 707
no mention of gaming applications? Does this guy live underground or what lol
All right, now make one with a F/A18 grip! 😍
My wife would love this thing
LOL!
looking forward to trying this out
Will this ever be for sale?
saw a demo of this where you could switch it to act as a gear shifter.

hellos your product compatible with games?
What's going on with this invention of 4 years ago??
Looked promising...
Where can I buy this already?!?!?!? :(
going on over 10? years without a single working FFB on the market. wtf is this?!
probably waiting to be bought out for billions, by some other company that don't want this on the market, for any one of a hundred reasons?
Depending on how strong those magnetic forces are, I wonder how it will affect magnetic sensitive things like hard drives. Hopefully they can shield the magnetic forces inside.
@Jordan Rodrigues Yes, shielding is very easy!
where do i buy it
if you can get it patented. Way to go. But my guess is that you 'll be suid as soon as you try to hit it on the market; Too bad.
Would there be an approx price?
why, all FF JS was made with motors.
who is JS and why does paint matter?
You have to Google why there aren’t lots of FF sticks on the market nowadays
Bart De Reu come again?
You could design a gearbox with software lmao
1:00 It makes me laugh for some reason
shut up and take my money
what he said
But can it run crysis?
of course
Can sound stupid, but, magnetic field and PC will mix?
you can shield the magnetic field so it will only be inside the base of the stick
wild
So this never happened...
I hope your patent covers sex toys - because you know where this stick is going...
