I saw some really nice carbon fiber ones on amazon for like $12, and also some authentic Japanese Bubble shifters on ebay for like $15. I would try looking at a junk yard, local shops, and what I just said

EDIT:

I found out it will weigh about 5 pounds to ship it in a secure box and bubble wrap. let me know how much it will cost to ship

Ok will do. What city are you located in?

EDIT: Here is prices from here to USA via Royal Mail. Should be the same from USA back here to england
Can i have dimensions of the package?

For the Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D (essentially brand new in orig. box) I currently have someone else contacting me for $30 + shipping, so I will see if that goes through well. If not I can sell you this one.

If the other deal goes through, I still have the Logitech Wingman Force 3D that needs a shifter knob, and I can get that to you for REALLY cheap. Probably $15 + shipping. Both work great, this one is a little smaller (the body) which makes it fit in small spots

Let me know

Ok thanks! Where can i get a shifter knob from to fit the joystick?

Quote from PcmciaKai :

amazon.de sais
"Force-Feedback/Ruettel-Effekt: nein"
I guess, you can see what that means.

Thanks

I guess it will be a Microsoft Sidewinder Force thingy thingy or a Logitech Wingman Strike Force thingy. Whichever i can get cheapest

Does the Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D have FFB? Seen a cheap one refurbished in my price range on ebay just now


BTW Thanks to you 2 for all the great help you've been!

Quote from Flame CZE :

Isn't it the same bug as the other one you posted?

This one you go flying backwards and you go inside the ramp so

Ok scawen

I've found another one with the ramps. Not sure if this has the same reason as to not to be fixed

Quote from bennyherber :

just let me know which one you want and what you can give for it. also, check how much it will cost to ship from US to UK


I doubt it. It doesn't say anything about force feedback specifically, and I haven't heard of any 3rd party FF sticks... stick to namebrand if you wanna be safe

WHOOPS! Lol misread force as vibration. That ones not going to work

How much does your strike force weigh in packaging? Ill try and work out the price for postage

Can anyone make a small tutorial on how to set up FFShifter when i get my joystick? Also can i set the buttons on the joystick to commands on LFS?

Will this work on FFShifter?

Sorry for double post

I've found a bug on the ramps. Watch attached replay. Its on there at the start.

Quote from bennyherber :

THIS guy is selling G27 shifters for a lump sum. you would still need THIS adapter, but together it would cost more than a FF joystick.

if you still want to go the FFshifter route, I have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D (missing the knob, because I used it as a shifter, but later moved the shift knob to a new FFshifter so you just need some sort of shifter knob to attach to it) and a Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D (updated version of the force 3d) in the box for sale if the price is right. Just make me an offer for either one

I have a few priorities and family stuff over the next 2 weeks so will possibly be buying one in a couple of weeks from now

Quote from PcmciaKai :

It's one USB plug and one normal plug for power supply, should work!

OT: I like your LFS abbreviation!

Thanks! Does £39 sound reasonable to you?

Quote from PcmciaKai :

No problem! But it's like 3 years ago, when I bought it (originally for MSFS2004/X), no clue for how much - I guess the prices have changed alot.

Just saw on ebay and prices are quite steep :/ If i can get one for under £30 then ill get it. Some of these have gameport connectors and someone said that the force feedback will not work if i have to use a usb converter. Is yours USB and if it uses a gameport does your force feedback still work with a converter in?

Quote from PcmciaKai :

Sure, here you go:

Yeah, the joystick works also great for flying, if you're interested in that. Because FFB is activated by a light sensor, I had that paper thing around it in the video, right now I'm having a cloth strapped to it. I'm using its throttle lever as a handbrake! (Btw, my plate file is included in the upload, since I just took the folder)

Thanks a lot!!! How much do you think would be a reasonable price for a MS Force Feedback 2? How much was yours?

If I may link to my youtube video.

If you like what you see, I'll post my FFShifter setup in here and I can answer questions.

Hi!

Thanks for the link to FFShifter! Unfortunately it doesnt work though so if possible can you reupload it? I'm looking to buy the same joystick as you so is this a good buy in your opinion? I really like your gear shifter setup!

Thanks in Advance!
Shiv

Hi all!

I'm thinking of buying a cheap wheel for the pedals and a FFB joystick for a shifter. Have a few questions 1st
Will the joystick act like a real shifter where it centres while in neutral and stays in gear when you put it in gear?
RSC Forums are down so has anyone got a link/download for FFShifter and maybe a tutorial on how to set it up to work with LFS?

Thanks in Advance!
Shiv

Also can anyone find me a acts lab shifter for under £30? Sorry for double post

Would buying a act labs shifter and pedals be another option?

Quote from sil3ntwar :

I believe that is the one i am using. No analog buttons or triggers right?

I think the analog buttons work but not the triggers. The triggers just act as buttons

Hi

I didnt see the AFK guy flying in the replay so might be a problem down your end

Quote from DeKo :

Leo Bodnar (www.leobodnar.com) sells a couple of cables that let you plug both the shifter and pedals into USB seperately, and they work great.

http://www.leobodnar.com/products/G25-G27-shifter/

Thanks for those but they are quite expensive

Quote from B1gch0pper :

An option (read description) more than £30 tho

Edit:
Another option...
Shifter
Pedals
Again using Leo's magic box

Thanks.
But are these used with USB or will i have to buy the steering wheel aswell?(G25). or will i have to get a adapter from G25 to USB?

Hi

I have a DFP and I am looking for a clutch pedal and a H-shifter. Is there any cheap option to getting these two things or will I have to be looking at the expensive option of a G25/7 which is sort of out of my budget. Looking for around £30 for the lot.


Thanks in Advance!

I've been using a ps3 controller (official though) and i got some drivers of the internet.
Ill get a link..........


http://dl.qj.net/playstation-3 ... ixaxis-driver-for-pc.html

I used that one

Quote from pfpdoodlez2009 :

The joy buttons are your wheel/joystick buttons.

Ok thanks

What are the joy buttons? cant seem to find them
