      @@g-locmedia Yeah, the F-16 is probably the worst choice to try out given it's specific control solution so I'm not sure if they bothered simulating FFB effects on it. Please try those HB modules and also some ED non-FBW jet to compare with (A-10, maybe some FC3 module like MiG-23 or Su-27, etc.). Another thing the FFB is kind of essential for is flying helicopters as the cyclic control stick should stay where you trim it at so I'd definitely recommend testing those both in MFS and DCS.

    When it comes to the software I totally agree with you. It’s not very user friendly. Been working with testing for the past 13 years and I still had a hard time getting around it but once you get it, it’s very powerful. Needs to be more easy to understand for entry level users.

    DCS as a whole has the best FFB effects available, if you have a VP Rhino the software gets all the FFB effects you would expect ground rumble, gun vibration, pre stall buffet engine vibration and all the varialble force and effects it seems that your missing with Brunner. Brunner needs to get the software to be compatible with DCS to be able to pick up on the telemetry from DCS. But as said the F-16 is not the best jet to try for any FFB as it is a force sensing system in it. You are correct that modules make a difference in how well that is modelled by the individual developer HeatBlur being the best in DCS by far

    I discovered your channel recently and have been watching many videos because of the quality of both the information and the production. I have a Warthog HOTAS, Honeycomb Alpha abd Bravo combo, and Thrustmaster Rudders and I am very satisfied with it. In fact, if anything, I dont use them as often as I would like to, both for lack of time and a bigger interest in sim racing. I dont think upgrading to FFB is in my to-do list any time soon, but it is always good to have the information. I am happy to see so many FFB options compatible with Thrustmaster handles. It makes it an easy drop-in upgrade in case I go that route. If I do and my wife is not happy about it, I will tell her it was you and your channel's fault, lol 😅.

    :-)) for the Cirus it is actually unrealistic. Cirrus uses spring cartridges in the side stick thus it is always centered. Due to the method used to move control surfaces by AP. Normal planes use counter tabs to manipulate trim or AP. Cirrus opted to use aerodynamically clean airframe. However downside is you really dont have that much hand feedback flying it. Plus the springs are quite strong thus it takes some getting used to compared to any other plane. Especially for making small corrections. They pretty much made plane to feel like sim. 🙂I guess the intended it to be mostly AP flown for traveling not sightseeing and hand flying. Or perhaps as a airliner transition.

    For me, if it doesn't have enough force to handle a full size cyclic, then it's an automatic no go. The force feedback would only be useful for helos, WW1 - 80s era fighter planes and jets that had mechanical linkage. The F-18 and F-16 or anything newer (basically, FBW) wouldn't benefit from FFB. For the F-16 I'd go with the FSSB-R3 Lighting MKII Ultra. It has the exact same movement and resistance as the real F-16.
