Operating System: Window 11 Home. Simulator: MSFS 2020. Joystick: Microsoft Sidewinder FFB2. Aircraft: Ant's Tiger Moth. FFB2 Profile: Default Cessna 172 profile (copied).

I experienced noticeable stick vibration whenever I stopped and applied the brakes while taxiing. I traced this to the stall buffet setting. Reducing that setting removed the issue while on the ground but of course also significantly reduced the effect when airborne. Is there any way the stall buffet can be ignored while the aircraft is on the ground?

Hey I'm trying to reproduce this, but don't see it. Please submit a support bundle after reproducing the issue and I'll see what's up. On my system it's working as expected.

Afterwards I went back in the sim and made this 30 second video of the effect. The first half shows the FFB-Bridge Dashboard activity and the second half shows the joystick shaking inside the sim.

Thanks, this was a real bug and the reason is funny.. it's because some (not all!) taildraggers have their nose just high enough that my code didn't realize they are on the ground :D .. it thinks the plane is flying haha!

This is a bug in my code (it should gate on "onground", the other effects do, this one just got left out), and I never noticed it because I never used the specific tail dragger that triggers it.

I've shared a diagnostic build with you via email, test it out and tell me if it's fixed now.

Did you run the original installer as Admin? If you did, you don't really need to.

For now, you can run this as Admin as well, so it can overwrite those files. But going forward, just double click and run the installer, don't use Admin.

Sorry, my error :( I did not realise that I had FFB Bridge already running when I attempted to install the diagnostic build. So I have now closed the app and tried again and it installed without a problem. I have never run the installer as Admin.

Great, you can keep using this build till I release the next stable version. Let me know if you notice anything else that's off, and thanks for helping track this bug down.
