Force feedback problem

Postby Dougx » Sun Jun 29, 2003 11:34 am

My recent problem with 6 button CH product force feedback is solved, thanks to guidance from Liran_Bar and Matt NW.
All functions including force, perfect for all acft. except the fantastic I3D B1B and Dean Reimers F-18. They both will shortly after takeoff stop responding to the stick. Control surfaces flutter wildly, no control over throttle etc. They eventually spin into the ground. I have tested about a dozen other acft no problem at all. I am stumped, these two are my favorites. Doug

Some additional info, if I configure the 6 button ff stick to a generic 2 button no ff, the B1 and F 18 fly ok. So it may not be a force feed back problem but a stick configuration problem with these particular acft. Hope this helps a little?

Is it the 'stick tries to break your wrist' slam followed by loss of control...

I've experiencesd that with some aircraft, but mostly it's fixed by flying slower (Breuget Atlantic)
Or by not flying at all (Polikarpov I-16, whitout ANY elevator control)
Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and [url=http://an24.uw.hu/]An-24RV[/ur

Ivan, that is a pretty good description of what was happening. I found a patch @ I3D for the B-1, cured the problem. Shoulda gone there first. The F-18 does seem more
related to speed now, it didn't before. I may have to give up cigars and the need for speed!!!     Thanx, Doug
