Wow! FSSB is amazing
Wow! FSSB is amazing
Just wanted to say that I just received my FSSB -R2 for one of my Cougars last Wednesday and WOW!
I will admit that it is taking some time to adjust to it, and I have initially set it up with 10lbs on the X and Y axis as a starting point (great forearm workout which should also aid in my motorcycle road racing hobby) and will allow myself time to get used to it before I go changing more things.
Let me just say, I wish I would have bought this sooner. I really had no idea it would make so much of a difference and make the Cougar such a fine instrument. Let's hear it for Thrustmaster and Realsimulator!

Right with ya!
The real Viper has 25 lbs and 17 lbs on the y-axis and x-axis respectively during most configurations of flight (remember it's a fly-by wire a/c and adjusts the force vs. output for various configurations and airspeeds). Using this as a starting point though, you can setup 10 lbs on your y-axis (pitch) and either 8 or 6 lbs on your x-axis (roll) to closely match the "feel" of the real flightstick!

Congrats on the FSSB purchase.
You might want to set up an arm rest / wrist rest bracket to have a steady reference point. Mine is placed just behind my wrist on the forearm. I lean against it as I input pitch or roll.
Here is the cockpit I built to establish the correct seating position.
