access to FS Force variables and development kit

Russell, are you planning on having a development kit for FS Force? It would be great to tap into the variables to modify hardware behaviour/tailor new hardware as well as beating MSFS into submission.

It is a pity that it comes with left handed throttle and right handed stick only.

Thanks Russel. I gave up using MSFS because of difficulties in the way it handles trim, amongst other anomalies. In a real flight, the AP will physically move the yoke and trim wheel. So, in a climb, the yoke's neutral point would be shifted back and trim would be on the nose up side. One should eng...

Yes, I agree that you will feel it through the yoke also.

I am thinking about a smallish device put under or inside the seat rather than having a full motion platform.

So, I can run multiple copies of FS Force in a network?

Can one extract or manupulate the outputs from FS Force via Direct X?

Thanks for replying so quickly. So, when AP is engaged, everything will behave as if FS Force was not there, right? The yoke's neutral point would be its original default position (or whatever its last position was before engaging AP) and the same would be true for the real trim wheel. If I want to ...

Separating ground feedback and aerodynamic forces

How many devices can FS Force drive? I have not yet bought and tried a copy of FS Force, but intuitively, I am resisting the idea of having ground feedback sent through the yoke. Is ther any way of either splitting the outputs of FS Force to drive more than one FFB device? Alternatively, can multipl...

autopilot - how does FS Force work with AP engaged

This sounds like a great software addressing a huge problem that is rarely discussed let alone attacked. I see how FFB works and the need to abandon MSFS' trim function. However, if one is not flying mannually, how would auto-trim in an autopilot work with FS-Force? Ignoring the mechanical modificat...
