FFB-Bridge is free. Supporting it keeps it moving.
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 it for free, with all current features, and that will remain true. No trial clock, no forced payment, no feature lock. If the app helps your setup, optional support helps keep the work going.
Support FFB-Bridge development
Use FFB-Bridge first. If it earns a place in your sim setup, choose any amount that feels right. This does not change your download access; the normal email download flow stays free.
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: no account requirement, no telemetry from the app, no cloud dependency, and no surprise paywall.
I've also been a Linux user since 1997, when I first installed Red Hat Linux 5.0. That matters here: Windows and Linux are both 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 and Linux 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.
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 upload flight data or settings.
Support bundles are manual.
Diagnostics can export a local support bundle. You decide whether to attach it to a feedback report.
Stripe handles checkout.
Payment details are handled by Stripe Checkout, not stored by the FFB-Bridge website.
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.
