1 year ago Please verify that the joystick's force feedback functions work by using the ffedit.exe application included in the download (it is included in a sub folder with the force feedback.exe app).

1 year ago I'm sorry for the confusion. What force feedback joystick device are you attempting to use?

commented
1 year ago Oh I’m sorry I thought that would be considered the Xbox one controller? Or would I need a completed different thing for it to work? I honestly have no clue what I need I just want the vibration feature to work for elite 😅

1 year ago Thank you. I believe I have the instructions in the readme file. You will need another software package installed (the link is in the instructions). Once you have that, rename the settings file that has the .Xbox extension to settings.json. Please follow the instructions, I am not anywhere where I can access the files and instructions so, my steps are from memory and it has been at least a year since I have tested the steps. I can test again tomorrow evening if you are still unable to get it to work.
Thank you, Bob

1 year ago Okay so i downloaded the other software package needed and when I ran it under ffedit.exe it worked! Although when I run the Force Feedback.exe with elite dangerous, I get no response. This is whats showing up on the console.

A 3rd party library I am using is complaining about your keybindings file.
I have published a new version of the application that has the xbox controller as the default controller in the settings. It also attempts to keep the program from crashing when the bindings file is not known. I am unsure if this state will cause more problems later. I will continue to look to see if this has been solved in the 3rd party library.
Go ahead and try the new version and I am sorry that this is not working easily for you.

1 year ago So, everything seems to be working perfectly! The only thing I see on the console is a warning that I'm not sure will interfere with the program. Other than that, everything seems to be going well! Thank you again for all the help :D
