So i recently discovered that on the console version of Elite, there was a Force Feedback on xbox controller for various actions (vrs driving etc) and i was thinking (i play on PC), why don't I have force feedback with my controller (a razer wolverine v2 chroma) even though the game has the capability ? Why didn't you add this option for PC as an option (because not everyone likes it) when it is present on the console version of the game ? It would be an addition that I think would add enormously to the immersion !
Force feedback for Xbox Controller

I think you’re referring to controller rumble/vibration - in which case it doesn’t work with the PC version of Elite :/
IIrc car racing simulations often are capable of force feedback effects for the steering wheels.
Yeah of course, and it was available on Elite Console Version, that's why I think it would be a nice addition, for the srv, or the landing gear deployment, the Tharg Titan Waves ...etc
Playing the newer Forza Horizon (Can't remember which number, and presumably on some other games too) using an Xbone controller on PC even allows for the force feedback triggers to be used as well as generic rumble, without any work on the player's side. There's a lot of cool stuff that a lot of games could be doing, but don't, usually due to the 'lowest common denominator' approach to this stuff. Which is frustrating, but hard to argue with when it comes to fragmented platforms like PC.IIrc car racing simulations often are capable of force feedback effects for the steering wheels.
Yeah, I noticed that too. It’s strange how the Xbox version of Elite has force feedback, but the PC one doesn’t, even with good controllers like the Razer Wolverine. It would make the game feel more real and immersive, especially when driving or flying. I really hope they add this feature for PC users in a future update. In the meantime, I’ve been trying other games like Extreme Car Driving Simulator MOD APK — it doesn’t have full force feedback, but the controls and vibration still feel pretty good while playing.
How about the DS5 (PS5) controller? Is it supported? That controller has really good haptics and triggers that need extra force in some games?
I'm not 100% certain of how a PlayStation controller is used on PC and with ED in particular, as I myself use an Xbox controller, which is supported directly and natively by Windows. However, it's my impression that if you use Steam or some other third-party software to add support, what it effectively does is that it emulates an Xbox controller (in other words, to the game it will look like it's an Xbox controller rather than something else. Or at a minimum, a DirectX controller that's compatible with an Xbox controller.)
I don't know if ED might itself support the PS5 controller directly (ie. if you just plug the controller in, the game detects and recognizes it), but I doubt it.
Either way, I highly doubt the controller rumbling feature is supported with that either.
(Well, on the PC side at least. If you play the game on the PS5, there the rumble feature will be supported.)
Yeah that s a real shame
i honestly doubt they will ever implement it
