We've been told by I-War players with the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback stick
that in their opinion it's one of the best implementations of force feedback
in a game.

The force feedback support includes:

*   Recoil when firing weapons
*   Resistance when making high speed turns (the stick stiffens)
*   Jolts when you're hit by enemy weapons (the direction of jolt shows you
which
    direction the attack came from!)
*   The stick goes floppy when your attitude thrusters are knocked out. If
you yaw/roll thrusters
    are disabled the stick is floppy only in the X direction, if the pitch
thrusters go out the stick is
    floppy in the Y direction. If all your thrusters are out you can waggle
that stick, but you won't go
    anywhere.

Plus numerous other small effects.

In most games the force feedback is a bit of a gimmick, but in I-War we
believe it's an aid to gameplay, not a hinderance.
