Revisiting the 1997 Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro joystick for PC! This started off as simple FFB stick nostalgia, showing off a few Windows 95 games, annnd ended up going down rabbit holes on gameport adapters, DirectX, patent trolls, and the quiet demise/resurrection of force feedback flight sticks.

I had, I think the FFB2, and it was something else. I remember on flight simulator when you engaged autopilot it would move the stick in the way it was commanding the aircraft. I've always been so surprised this isn't really a thing any more.
