So that makes sense why it wouldn’t support ffb in the sim bc the real plane won’t have ffb on the stick. But helos, warbirds and center stick aircraft in dcs all have ffb?
I fly the hornet a lot for instance. I haven’t gotten much into helo or warbirds yet but plan on it
Which stick do you have?

this is the ffb effects for all modules
real planes have ffb, the question is which ones
and how they do it
anything ww2 or earlier have ffb because their control surfaces are linked directly to the stick like on a car with no power steering
so all the effects from the wind would be very strong
post ww2 you get hydraulic power steering and now fbw
there is back drivable hydraulic controls which still allow you too feel a bit of the effects and non back drivable which wont transfer any effects
then there is fly by wire (fbw) which is totally different. its like your telling the car where to go and it does that for you so you never loose control
well at least its like that for the f16. I dont know how the f18 does it
in my opinion all planes should have ffb effects available in dcs. because you are flyng in a sim you cant feel the g forces, shaking, vibrations etc of the aircraft which you would be able to in real life through the seat and cockpit.
feeling what the plane is doing allows you to control it to the limit or just being more immersed in the simulation just like with a car ffb wheel
Yea I agree even if the f16 is force sensing irl and you can’t really feel anything through the stick. In sim you should for that exact reason
That’s how sim racing is. Some things are translated in sim you may not feel irl bc we don’t get seat of our pants feeling
Bc my sim rig is shared with iracing idk if I could even fit a center stick in the first place so I may have to go with a side stick and if I do I’ll get the fssb and just use it for all aircraft. I’m sure it would work fine for helos
