Arvoch: some ideas for future updates.

Post by warhawk »

Hi folks.

How about the addition of force feedback for joysticks? I think it would add greatly to the immersion of this fine game.

Keep up the good work!

Many thanks and best regards.

Tim

The game already supports force feedback. See the instructions for details. You may need to change/apply a setting if the device you are using has the iForce2 instruction set (common to Logitech controllers, iirc).

Thanks Vice.

You have thought of everything! I will check it out. It is a Logitech wingman force I have. Thanks for the advice.

I must say I am new to space games and have tried quite a few now. All are different but I think yours are the best for accessability, playability and ease of customisation. Long may it continue. I think I may well have to explore Evochron very soon.

Thanks again Vice.

All the very best.

I checked out the instructions and I can not find any referance to force feedback settings nor are there any settings to change/apply in the game. I have a Logitech Wingman force. The joystick is detected and working in the game. Just no feedback. Am I missing something obvious? Any ideas please?

Cheers.

In short, you can 'force' force feedback on devices with the iforce2 instruction set with the text file. I have attached the file to this post.

:cool: I have an old Saitek Rumble Force that uses a USB port. Works just fine with in-game adjustments.
