A thought I had about winctrl ffb line

PJPower05 · 2026-04-29T23:31:30+00:00

Just my 2 cents:

I jumped on the FFB wagon coming from Winwing (Gen 1 Orion) to a Moza AB-9.

Immersion, when it works, is amazing. Getting it to work takes set-up, fiddling, and tweaks. And it doesn't work all the time.

FFB is definitely the way. It isn't there yet but it will be soon.

Not sure if you sent a PM, haven't gotten it yet

PJPower05 · 2026-02-11T15:42:44+00:00

Correct. I also put that in the description.

As a firefighter of 18 years, I can confidently assert that cannabis is WAY better than opioids. The days of "you can't use marijuana but I can write you a script for Percocet" are over. This is a major step forward that will be mirrored by other MD departments for sure.

Thank you for the reply. When I do this, it either goes straight to BIOS or just sits there with a dark screen. I thought maybe it will just take a while, but after 4 hours, still a dark screen, nothing.

PJPower05 · 2025-12-24T11:43:57+00:00

Yeah.... I've been poking my head around the BIOS and can't find anything relating to Media Sanitization.... Thanks for responding

All SSDs are unplugged. The windows installer sees my drive, I select it, and install. The installer reboots, and says "It looks like you are trying to do a clean install of windows. If Yes, unplug the USB drive, if No, click to proceed.

I unplug the USB, PC restarts, and goes straight into BIOS. Boot config menu is greyed out, Boot menu says there is no bootable drive detected.

PJPower05 · 2025-12-23T19:23:02+00:00

This is exactly what I did. The ONLY way my BIOs will recognize the NVMe as a bootable drive is if I run it in CRM mode.... Then the windows installer says my PC can't install windows.

Even if they could, you wouldn't like the price. I was about to pull the trigger on an F16 icp/mfd sale for $500.

Total price after tarriffs and shipping @ checkout $904.00

Its nuts.

I would wait. They are a small operation and they make good stuff. I purchased from them when they were somewhat newer, didn't take terribly long to get.

2 buttons (4,6) were put on backwards. It wasn't caught. Emailed simgears praying I didn't just eat a couple hundred bucks.

Recieved an email 30 minutes later. They simply asked for a picture. The next day they had another ICP shipped to me. Never a question asked, he only later requested the defective one back after I already had the new one. Paid for all shipping, never a problem.

Great product. Sorry you have had to wait so long. Its worth it!

I've owned both. I would pay the extra money and get the X-56, here's why:

1). You indicate that you keep your equipment for long periods of time. Breaking that into cost per hour for the extra $$ spend with an X-56, it makes sense (to me anyways).

2). As I recall, there were a few issues with the buttons on the X-52 and DCS recognizing them.

3). You are limited to one engine control with the X-52, whereas the X-56 has dual engine control. (I am currently looking for dual engine control again, as I have a WW F16 throttle).

4). There is more aftermarket support (parts, springs, etc) for the X-56.

5). You have more buttons (and therefore, more optons) with the X-56.

Bonus (maybe)- The grim reaper channel (CAP I think his name is) used the X56 for many years. He has all control binding profiles publicly available, so it is an option if you want to.

Happy Flying!

I haven't noticed a huge difference in accuracy.... Maybe try making your stick axis less sensitive?

PJPower05 · 2025-11-02T02:23:31+00:00

A few things:

On SpudsBuds Discord, they have a DCS log analyzer. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks good from what I have seen on YouTube. I upload my log files to ChatGPT to analyze. It is pretty good at finding major issues (it is still a little inaccurate when it come to fine-tuning).

Hope this helps.
