View Full Version : Force feedback kicks in and game is running at low frame rate

I've got a Speedlink Black Widow joystick. It's cheap, but at least it feels great and doesn't look like it's an alien from 'District 9' like all the rest, especially the Logitech ones.

So, the drivers aren't the best I guess - I cannot switch off Force Feedback on this thing.


So in Take On Helicopters, if I fly a little and exit the mission or free flight, then start another, the force feedback suddenly kicks in, as if it just realized "wow, this joystick you have actually support Force Feedback - let's use it!"

Actually, I'd rather NOT use force feedback.. It makes a lot of noise on the table. But it also decreases the frame rate from 35-40fps to about 10fps.. It's unflyable. And very, very annoying.


Would you mind adding a "disable force feedback" option? :butbut:

Yup, already downloaded and installed. Didn't do the trick for me.
I'll find the cfg file and edit that parameter. Though it shouldn't be necessary to do so in the full game imho.

Where's this user.cfg file?
