EDForceFeedbackXinput v1.0.0

Elite Dangerous force feedback and rumble support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers.

EDForceFeedbackXinput reads Elite Dangerous's Journal and Status.json and triggers rumble (gamepads) or force effects (DirectInput joysticks) for events like hardpoints, landing gear, docking, and more.

Highlights

• Xbox controllers: Xbox One, Elite 1/2, Series X/S (wired, Bluetooth, or wireless adapter with workaround)
• PlayStation controllers: DualSense, DualShock 4 via GameInput or XInput emulation (DS4Windows, DualSenseX, Steam Input)
• DirectInput joysticks: Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2, Saitek Cyborg 3D Force Stick
• No special drivers needed; uses GameInput, raw HID, or XInput
• Settings Editor for per-event rumble strength, duration, and pulse
• TestForceFeedback to test rumble without running Elite
