FFB-Bridge is free. Supporting it keeps it moving.
A contribution supports FFB-Bridge development and does not buy a licence for FFB-Bridge Pro. I built FFB-Bridge because I wanted my own force-feedback hardware to feel alive again in modern flight sims. You can download and use the free app with all its current features, and that will remain true. No trial clock, no forced payment, no feature lock. FFB-Bridge Pro is sold separately.
Support FFB-Bridge development
This is a contribution. It does not buy a licence. Use FFB-Bridge first; if it earns a place in your sim setup, choose any amount that feels right. Your download access does not change, and the free download stays free. FFB-Bridge Pro is sold separately.
Independent software, built with a professional standard.
I'm Aditya Nag, founder of Rohsam Inc. I've spent my adult life in and around technology: writing about hardware at PC World/IDG, working at Microsoft, Dell EMC, and VCE, building production websites, infrastructure, homelab systems, and the software around them.
FFB-Bridge is personal. I'm a flight simmer, I care about old force-feedback hardware, and I wanted software that treats users with respect: core and Free use require no account, send no telemetry, and have no cloud dependency. Optional network features are separate and active only when enabled.
I've used Linux since 1997, when I first installed Red Hat Linux 5.0, and the Mac since 2009, starting with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which I still think is the best release Apple has made. That matters here: Windows, Linux and macOS are all first-class platforms for FFB-Bridge, with real installers, docs, setup paths, and support work for each.
FFB-Bridge is not an anonymous upload or a weekend zip file. It is a real product, released by a real publisher, with docs, support paths, signed builds, and a public person standing behind it.
- Published by Rohsam Inc.
- Maintained with public docs and changelogs.
- Built for Windows, Linux and macOS as first-class platforms.
- Designed around local control and user privacy.
World-class niche software should prove itself in boring, useful ways.
Polish matters, but trust comes from the release details: signed artifacts, hashes, local-only behavior, explicit privacy choices, and support data you control.
Verify the publisher.
Windows builds are signed under the Rohsam publisher identity so you can confirm the source before installing.
Apple-notarized Mac build
The macOS DMG is signed with the Rohsam Inc. Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper opens it without an unidentified-developer warning.
WHQL-certified driver in Pro
FFB-Bridge Pro's Control Routing driver is certified by Microsoft for Windows 11 (version 25H2, x64) through the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program.
Check the artifact.
Current downloads publish SHA-256 hashes for the Windows installer and Linux AppImage.
No app telemetry.
The desktop app talks to your simulator locally and to your joystick over USB. It does not automatically upload flight data or settings; if you attach a support bundle, it includes only the diagnostic files listed in the support-bundle docs.
Support bundles are manual.
Diagnostics can export a local support bundle. You decide whether to attach it to a feedback report.
Stripe handles checkout.
Stripe Checkout handles payment details. The FFB-Bridge website stores none of them.
Download stays separate.
Optional support never gates the app. The email download flow remains free.
Optional payments go back into the product.
Force-feedback hardware is old, weird, and worth preserving. Support helps pay for the unglamorous work that makes a small tool feel dependable.
