True force feedback for MSFS and X-Plane.
FFB-Bridge turns your simulator's live data into a complete cockpit force model for the force-feedback stick or yoke you already own. 1,600+ built-in profiles match your aircraft automatically. Free, no account, no trial, on Windows, Linux and macOS.
FFB-Bridge Pro is a separate app on the same core: a new way to interact with force feedback. In VR or on one screen, change any force by voice or from a tablet, replay the second a landing felt wrong through your stick, and set up your MOZA base inside the app. Free stays free.

From the pilots flying it
What users say.
"This product has revolutionized (simulated) flying for me. I have been spending the last week or two hand flying vintage aircraft on 1-2 hour flights."
"FFB-Bridge lets me feel forces acting on the aircraft and controls. With FFB-Bridge I can feel the change in force and pressure as I move rudder pedals. The feedback is much more realistic."
"The behaviour is now absolutely perfect. I can fly straight and level hands-free. The immersion, especially in VR, is superb."
"I must say, it's incredible. With the default Cessna 172 it feels amazing. Plenty of effects and they all add immersion and help to understand better what the plane is doing."
"Marvellous. Did a quick test and the improvement is huge. As an add-on builder myself I appreciate the amount of work."
"Thank you for getting FFB properly working in MSFS 2024. That's desperately needed. I'm very impressed by the pace at which you're improving the software."
"It worked beautifully, far better than the other apps I've tried."
"It is absolutely the first force feedback utility that is so infinitely adjustable to the simmer's likes and dislikes. Force feedback is essential in flight simming, and you are making it the best it's ever been."
"It's what I've been looking for for a long, long time. An incredible piece of software."
What it does
Load the aircraft. The feel is already there.
FFB-Bridge recognises the aircraft in your simulator and loads its profile: 1,600+ built-in profiles across 561 aircraft, add-ons included. Fly without touching a slider. Tune only if you want to.
1,600+ profiles that match your aircraft automatically
Load a C172, an A350 or a Bell 206 and the matching profile is already active, with the aircraft's story and how its profile models it. Add-on aircraft from the big developers are covered too.
Every force in the stick, from the simulator's own numbers
Centring that stiffens with G, airspeed loads on elevator and aileron, trim, stall and Mach buffets, runway rumble, gear and flap bumps, engine vibration. The Dashboard shows each one as it happens.
See the force model
Tune it if you want to
Every slider applies on the next tick and saves per aircraft. Manual cables, a hydraulic yoke or a fly-by-wire sidestick each change the whole character of the controls.

Frequently asked.
Is FFB-Bridge really free?
Yes. No trial clock, no account and no app telemetry. FFB-Bridge Pro is a separate paid app with extra tools; FFB-Bridge does not lose features because Pro exists.
Do I need Pro?
No. If FFB-Bridge already feels right for you, there is nothing else to buy. Pro is for pilots who want to tune and review the feel from inside the cockpit.
Can I have both installed?
Yes. Each installs as its own app. Only one drives your hardware at a time.
What hardware is supported?
MOZA AB6, AB9, AY90, AY210; the Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2; Logitech G940, Force 3D Pro and WingMan Force 3D; Brunner FFB-G and FFB-H bases; and the PicoWinder and Adapt-FFB-Joy adapters for the SideWinder Force Feedback Pro. Run FFB Probe for anything else.
Does this work on Windows 11? Windows 10?
FFB-Bridge runs on Windows 10 version 1809 or later and Windows 11. Pro requires Windows 11 on Windows, because its Control Routing driver is certified for Windows 11; Windows 10 drivers come later.
Does this work on Linux and macOS?
Yes. Linux builds use evdev force feedback and ship as an AppImage. macOS runs on Apple Silicon with X-Plane 12 and the SideWinder FFB2 and MOZA bases.
Does MSFS 2024 or X-Plane support my stick directly?
Not in the way these sticks need. FFB-Bridge reads the simulator's telemetry, builds the force model on your machine and sends the forces to the stick. MSFS uses SimConnect; X-Plane uses UDP datarefs. No plugin is installed in either.
Why do downloads start with email?
The email carries the current Windows, Linux and macOS links and lets us tell you about important updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Who is the developer?
FFB-Bridge is built by Aditya Nag through Rohsam Inc. in Toronto: signed releases, public docs, three platforms and a privacy-first approach.
Will my antivirus or SmartScreen flag it?
The Windows installer is signed by Rohsam Inc. Brand-new builds can show a SmartScreen reputation prompt until the file gains download history; confirm the publisher before you continue.
Does it send anything over the internet?
Only when you turn on a network feature such as update checks or profile sharing. Force feedback itself runs on your machine, talking to the simulator over loopback.
I bought Pro and see a licence screen on a Pro page. What now?
Open Pro License in the app and select Refresh. Your licence picks up every Pro feature; nothing needs reinstalling.
My stick or base isn't recognised. What do I check?
Open Support in the app and run the health checks: they test the device, the driver path and, on Linux, the udev rule, and offer a fix for each. A MOZA base must be in its standard HID mode with MOZA Cockpit closed. If the device is not on the supported list, run FFB Probe so support can start from its report.
I can't feel a particular effect.
Use Flight Check. It plays every effect on its own, with a Test button and a Works / Doesn't tally, so you can tell a profile setting from a device limit. Many effects also depend on what the aircraft reports: a stall buffet needs a stall warning from the simulator, and some add-on aircraft publish fewer values than the stock ones.
Trim pulls the stick the wrong way, or does nothing.
Nose-up trim should let the stick settle aft. Check the Tuning page's Trim section first: Pitch trim relief at zero disables it. If the direction is reversed on an unlisted stick, the Hardware page's axis test corrects it. Supported devices need no polarity change, so a reversal there is a bug to report.
The app won't arm, or stops with a Safety Stop.
Arm needs a connected supported device, a simulator sending telemetry, and no open warning dialog. A Safety Stop means the app saw motion it did not command, lost the simulator mid-flight, or lost the device; the Dashboard says which. Clear it, make sure your hands are off the stick, and arm again.
Autopilot follow is weak, jerky, or fights me.
Follow is off by default on most profiles. Turn it on under Tuning, Autopilot. On MSFS the yoke moves at most 20% of its travel; on X-Plane it follows the full saved authority. If the aircraft lurches when you grab the yoke under autopilot, lower the Authority and Strength sliders.
