Players on the Elite Dangerous subreddit are discussing ways to add variable resistance to joysticks to improve flight control realism. One idea involves fitting a foam ring around the joystick stem to increase tension as the stick moves further from center. While this could enhance immersion and control fidelity, concerns remain about the durability and wear of such materials inside joystick mechanisms. This conversation highlights the community’s ongoing dedication to hardware tweaks that optimize gameplay experience in Elite Dangerous.
- Proposal uses foam ring to simulate joystick tension.
- Durability of materials inside joysticks is a key concern.
