Don't Believe It - There is NO FORCE FEEDBACK


Recommended Posts

I've had CBS since is came out. I've been trying and writing on this forum for info as to how to get force feedback working with my Thrustmaster RGT FFB Clutch Wheel. No satisfactory response from this forum or Aerosoft or TML. Well now there is one.

As background, here's what the features sheet for CBS says on Aerosoft.com:

  • The 3d cockpit is being simulated realistically with all controls and rotatable view
  • Animated wipers

  • Lights switchable in complete interior
  • Supports racing wheels (also with Force Feedback)

Here's what Thrustmaster wrote me after they agreed to test the wheel I have - RGT FFB Clutch - on City Bus Simulator:

I don't mind that there is no force feedback. I do mind that it was advertised as being there and no one who could, would answer my question.

It doesn't support Logitech's G25 or G27 in "force-feedback" either. If CBS is going to make a claim like this (Post #1), they should list which ones it does support. This is false advertisement and/or misreprestation. It also qualifies for a refund if you choose to do so. In relation to the steering, and the delay it has, can be manually done from your profiler, and the game engine, but for people unfamiliar with this is a disappointment by Aerosoft. This has been Aerosoft's weak spot for this game. They came up with one patch addressing this, and it still comes up short. A better developer for wheel coding is what's needed here, not to mention "PLAY TESTERS".

The scenery is nice, and strolling through the city is a nifty change. The weather is also a nice change from most driving games. I don't like driving with a keyboard/mouse. Those days are long dead for me. So Aerosoft..... pick up the ball you dropped, and patch up the steering better if you want more sales. Bad word of mouth travels faster than light.

I would rate this game a 9/10 if the steering worked properly. On a so called driving game this is a must for me, and I have to give it a 6/10.
