BOB and FS Force - the shakes

[peterhayes]

Well this BOB guy is the real shilling!

Bob helps me tremendously when I am writing reviews about airports with before and after shots! I wish he had been around a few years ago.  Thanks for a fantastic app!!

One thing I have noticed is that BOB doesn't seem to like the FS-Force software by Russ Dirks. 

If I enable FS Force at FSX start-up (for a Logitech G940), when I move BOB the joystick shakes violently and I have to hang on for grim death in case it shakes me or itself to bits. 

If I don't enable FS-Force, BOB is all sweetness and light.

Has anyone else seen this effect?

Can't wait to see the payware version!

Hi Peter,

sorry for the late response.

if you open up your aircraft.cfg file in the BOB folder then scroll down till you find this part and disable it as follows :

place two forward slashes // in front of the line you want to disable or delete the complete FFB part
