I have made a FFB yoke that uses a MSFFB2 joystick guts. It works well. I want to add rudder pedal to the mix so I'm doing some research on how to make this work. I was wondering if it's something that can be incorporated into the Mobiflight software.

Hi

Please not feel ignored.... But i not have the time to make a lot of Google searches to finally know what you ask for.

"FFB Yoke" ?? Why not give a Link (including a manual in pdf) .

What is "MSFFB2" ???
For sure .... Some guys here "know" what this is.... But why not Link us directly to it ?

So in first attempt i read.... You use a "Yoke" form a manifactur and this is working via a interface "MSFFB2".
So why not simply buy Rudder PEdals from Same Manifactur and your happy ???
Whats the idea to use Rudder Padals via MF ??? Simply make Controll Inputs via the Joystick Inputs again ??


May i missunderstand the whole question.... WHAT do you like to do ?

Hi all,
Pizman I believe a Force Feedback Yoke is what's being described and is home made. So I think the question is more around controlling the force motors (servo ? Stepper?) to simulate control forces and whether Mobiflight could be used to do that?.
Sorry if I've gotten the wrong end of the stick!

Cheers,
Stuart

Oh Sorry.... "FFB" = Force Feed Back.

By Misstake "FFB" was a "brand" in my brain like Saitek or Honnycomp.
Apollogy for that !


Whatever.... I not understand the question again !

If he build this system for the Yoke ( and he said it work) .... What fact is Mobiflight here ? If he need Rudder Pedals he simply should build them with same Logic again.
Where is the Point, Mobiflight get related to ?

Hi Guys,
Sorry to not be clearer in my question. Yes, FFB is force feedback. MSFFB2 is Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2.
I have married the motors and electronics of a MSFFB2 joystick and the "guts" of a Saitek flight yoke to come up with a FFB yoke. It works spectacularly well. So well in fact that I would like to turn my Satek rudder pedals into an FFB device.
The electronics of the MSFFB2 are quite large and cumbersome to try incorporating them into the pedals. I am hoping to build a standalone device. As I've never done anything like this before I came here to ask those of you that are "in the know".
Has anyone attempted to use Mobiflight to read the needed force variables (Rotation Acceleration Body X, Rotation Acceleration Body Y, Rotation Acceleration Body Z), and control DC motors with those inputs?
I know practically nothing of coding but use Mobiflight for all my other flight sim devices. So, I figured I would start here.

Ok.

Yes basically there are Variables available with "G-Force" .
But i still not understand the logic....
You have a Yoke that "work well".... So you pretty sure still read GForce Values from the Sim to rebuild the forces on the Yoke.
Why not simply use THIS interface to also read the Variables you need for the Pedals ???

I expect if you have found a way for the yoke (without mobilfight pretty sure) then the SAME way should also allow the needed Values for Pedals , right ??

If not.... Check the SimVariable List of FS2020 or the FSUIPC Table for Gforces.
