Thanks. I've installed the profiler, do i need to launch the game with the profiler? (only way is running the launcher executable from profiler). I've configured a 10% sensitivity in all axis.
What type of controller will you be using for Elite Dangerous

- Start date

Along similar lines to before, any keyboard that anyone has extreme love for? 
I've decided to get the HOTAS X thanks to this forum and reviews on Amazon specifically mentioning ED with praise, and I'll use the bit of cash saved from getting a cheaper HOTAS setup towards getting a new gaming keyboard, mechanical if I can afford it!

Well my Cyborg Evo decided to pack up just as I was trying to dock at Dahan. I quit the game while bouncing around the inside of the station! I don't know whether I dumped 36 tonnes of Indite, or whether I'll get to do that when I log back in!
Anyway, it was a real struggle to find a nice joystick, I eventually managed to find someone selling the T.Flight Hotas X. I've had a X52 Pro on preorder for a while at Scan, but I eventually gave up as the date seemed to be a moving target. Oh well.

Tried the Logitech F710, an old Saitek Cyborg3D and not been real happy with any of those so far. Might be time to crack out the old CH Yoke and Rudder setup until I try and find a Thrustmaster Hotas setup.
Only thing I can find locally is an X52

Mouse, keyboard. I'm loosely considering buying a mouse with more buttons and one of those fancy lighty-uppy keyboards.
MS Force Feedback 2 if it works well. If not...dunno. Maybe pick up a cheap stick and use a gamepad in the meantime.
Anyone else using the MS stick...do you find that under recent versions of windows, the stick doesn't return to centre? I found a registry fix for it, but it disables force feedback. I've not seen anyone here mention that, so I wondered if there's another way.

I hope to use a force feedback joystick or HOTAS and would like to hear back from the devs about implementing full and proper haptic feedback (force feedback).

There are forces and effects that can be represented absolutely everywhere on a space craft via haptic feedback. Landing gear operation, landing and take off forces and vibration, atmospheric flight - both entry and exit, atmospheric exit thrust forces, impacts in asteroid fields and with other space objects including other ships or docking manoeuvres, ballistic weapons fire vibration, combat damage vibrations from ballistic weapons fire and missile hits to shield impacts. Then three could be the vibration forces from using afterburners or sudden reverse thrust. And even some opposite force when nearing high g-forces, or high ships hull stress limits - a slow force building up, and then maybe a stick shaker reminder.
I would expect to see a couple of settings or more in the advanced controller options eventually to adjust the amount of force feedback. This would seem a logical step to take. And other options, but I'd leave that to the dev's to decide upon. Certainly some advanced force feedback options would be great to have so one can fine tune the experience.
Plus anyone using a force feedback stick in Elite will need the auto centring addressed, most have the optical sensor to detect when the grip is held. So some section in the games settings/advanced joystick controls will need to have force feedback centring options. And many more I hope to further adjust force feedback options, such as strengths and maybe limiting where FFB is used. Then also having the option to manually edit the games *.ffe files (haptic feedback effect files).
Please give us full and proper Force Feedback joystick support.
And not forgetting xbox one trigger FFB and rumble as well.

The thing about this is that people aren't going to say "Oh, you know that really expensive bit of kit I bought? It's not all that good and I shouldn't have bought it".
With expensive pieces of kit people are going to justify the purchase to themselves and others online by saying it's the best ever.
In other words don't just listen to random strangers on the internet saying that their choice is the best choice, try stuff out for yourself first if you can, especially when purchasing something expensive.
ok.
