Physical connection

Assuming you have got device as PNP bundle or device is already activated and properly setup according to hardware setup guide in case of DIY.

Not much to say there. Just plug USB cable, connect power, and play. Right after calibration device is ready to be used as the standard DirectX FFB device.

It is highly recommended after first connection to check strength of effects using ForceTest or alternatives. It gives a chance to understand magnitude of forces and be prepared for effects in game.

IMPORTANT!

Keep stick centered and hold it slightly with your hand when activating effect. As with some settings and effects it could start moving quickly!

Next, check special settings for each of owned module and enable any setting related to FFB. It could be individual settings ar type of trim etc. Enable them all.

As the last assign axis of FFBeast to main control axis, assign trim buttons and you are ready to go! Start the mission and you device will become alive! Most of modules have Ok-ish native FFB implementation and you do not need additional software to enjoy them.
