Some months ago I embarked on getting a control loader installed into the F-15C. With flight simulation and air combat “games”, it’s more commonly known as “force feedback”. While the VPForce FFB system I’m using as the base for my simulator *can* do “force feedback” things, the primary task is to provide control loading similar to what a real F-15 pilot would experience. At its most basic level, the flight control system in the F-15 will adjust the amount of force required to move the stick based on the current G loading of the aircraft. The system can require as much as 25lbs in pitch and 20lbs in roll to move the stick at high G loads. The VPForce system can’t quite hit those targets, but it’s close enough for my purposes. I don’t want to become a gym rat just to be able to enjoy my simulator. 🙂
Here’s the YouTube video I put together during the test and configuration of the system. Enjoy!
