I decided to buy this stick instead of the MS FF 2 because of the mousewheel control though, which, as it turns out, allows for very precise trimming-you will need to set it up as such yourself though (logitech advertises it for selecting weapons in first person shooters, and in the included FS profile it's been set up for selecting views), and this can also be done from within FS itself. The Logitech is also a bit cheaper than the MS SW FF 2, and I'll admit that it looks and feels a bit cheaper too.
There is a profiler utility, although for FS I found it more convenient to set it up with FS itself.
#Microsoft sidewinder force feedback wheel release date software
Win XP software is available from the Logitech website. The mouse-wheel works great as a trim wheel in FS, and I've set up both axes of the second hat for controlling mixture and prop RPM respectively (although I may set it up differently if I can think of a better use or for non-GA planes, only had the stick for two days now-in modern military jet sims it may come in useful for controlling radar cursors and the like). The handle also has the twisting action for rudder control, and there is a throttle control as well. I have considered buying a yoke, but the hassle of setting it up and then having to remove it again to do other work is putting me off.Īlthough I liked the feel of the Sidewinder better(don't know about the FF 2 though), the Wingman Strikeforce has two hat switches (continuous scrolling just as in the MS sticks) and also a mouse-wheel type control mounted on the base, along with 5 regular buttons here and there and a trigger. I just replaced my old (gameport-and incompatible with my new motherboard-) MS Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick with that one. Hans, you might also want to consider the Logitech Wingman Strikeforce 3D.
