    Hello, I am new to this, I am starting a flight simulator that consists of a two-axis haptic chair with VR implementation as well and I want to start acquiring the signals that the controller I have can provide, it is a Microsoft Forcefeedback 2 control, as shown. I can make the connection with Arduino to later make the connection with Simtools, can you help me understand this and if you can help me with guidelines it would be great, thank you very much in advance.
    PS: I attach the photo of the remote control that I have.

    An Arduino is not required, but the Microsoft Forcefeedback 2 must operate with your computer: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...k-2-game/78f990bb-9a5c-48b9-94c4-0fa97e1cf0ee

    The Joystick plugin can then be used to connect a peripheral to SimTools: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/joystick-plugin.6160/
