"GCS force feedback
On you tube there are some interesting videos of people using these force feedback joysticks this one shows the GCS at work, it would be great to see your GCS have this function HK."

"Any thoughts on Force Feedback support? I remember reading online somewhere (mind blank) about one that uses the logitech ffb joystick and an onboard 2ax gyro."

James Turner replied to Chris Tuska's discussion Laptop controling viewing FPV and a joystick"HI Chris, I am developing a similar project although I capture the video to a standalone screen and DVR.

"I believe at this time it is only one way telemetry, however I understand it will be two way with the next release of APM, it will not do what you want at this time, however if you were to use the kit I linked to earlier in this thread I think you…"
Chris Tuska replied to Chris Tuska's discussion Laptop controling viewing FPV and a joystick"I did look at that project for the UAV part, didnt know if i could control the whole flight via that GCS. I see the first person is included but what about the stick control?

"That sounds like a great project, If you have not done so already I would take a look at the GCS's that are being developed, I like the look of Happy Killmore's GCS.
