MOZA AB9 support

MOZA AB9 + MH16 is now validated for FFB-Bridge.

FFB-Bridge adds first-class support for the MOZA AB9 FFB Base with the MH16 flight stick on Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon macOS. It reads live telemetry from your simulator and drives the AB9's motors with a full cockpit force model — including X-Plane 12 on macOS and the only Linux AB9 force-feedback path we know of.

The MOZA AB9 driving live force feedback on Linux.

A full session captured on Linux: FFB-Bridge detects the AB9, the Mock Sim exercises every force effect, then live force feedback in the cockpit in MSFS and X-Plane.

Easy setup

Configure the MOZA in minutes.

MOZA's own Cockpit software gives you deep, professional-grade control with a lot of parameters. FFB-Bridge takes the other approach: sensible defaults and a simple setup, so you select the AB9 and start flying. The fine-tuning is there when you want it — it is not required to get force feedback.

Linux

The only way to fly the AB9 on Linux.

MOZA ships no Linux software for the AB9 — Cockpit is Windows-only. As far as we are aware, FFB-Bridge is the only way to get the MOZA AB9's force feedback working in flight simulators on Linux.

macOS

AB9 force feedback on Apple Silicon.

The macOS build now opens the AB9 through raw IOHID/PID and drives the same MOZA report layout validated on the other platforms. The supported Mac path is X-Plane 12 on Apple Silicon.

Three-platform AB9 support

Windows, Linux, and macOS now share the AB9 force model.

The AB9 is now validated across FFB-Bridge's Windows DirectInput/PID path, Linux evdev path, and macOS raw IOHID/PID path. The simulator coverage is still platform-specific, but the cockpit force model is the same tuned path on every validated AB9 backend.

macOS uses raw IOHID/PID On Apple Silicon, FFB-Bridge selects the AB9's PID-capable HID interface and drives X-Plane 12 through the signed, notarized DMG build.
No MOZA Linux software needed MOZA Cockpit is Windows-only. FFB-Bridge is self-contained on Linux — install the AppImage, allow device access once, and fly.
Native on X-Plane X-Plane 11/12, its telemetry feed, and FFB-Bridge all run natively on the same Linux machine — a clean, low-latency path to force on the AB9.
MSFS 2024 through Proton Flying MSFS on Linux through Proton works too, once SimConnect is reachable from the Linux side. See the Linux notes for the loopback setup.
The same force model as Windows Aerodynamic loading, trim feel, runway rumble, buffets and the rest all tune live per aircraft — the same cockpit-feel model on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Setup notes

What to check after installing.

The MOZA AB9 should appear as a supported force-feedback device without enabling unlisted devices. If it does not, send a support bundle so we can compare firmware, product ID, and system state.

Update MOZA firmware first Use MOZA's own tools to update the base and grip before launching FFB-Bridge.
Confirm the selected device Settings → Hardware should show MOZA AB9 FFB Base as the force-feedback device.
On Linux, allow force-feedback access On Linux the AB9 is driven through the FFB-Bridge Linux build. If the base is detected but idle, run the Support checks to install the udev permission rule — the same flow used for other supported sticks on Linux.
On macOS, use X-Plane 12 The AB9 is validated on Apple Silicon through the macOS DMG and X-Plane 12. MSFS remains a Windows and Linux path.
MOZA Cockpit Telemetry mode MOZA Cockpit's Telemetry mode is for MOZA's own sim-fed telemetry path. It is not the normal default mode, and it can leave the base idle during standalone hardware tests. If the AB9 is detected but does nothing, switch MOZA Cockpit back to its normal/default mode and retry.
Also in 1.2.0

The MOZA AY210 yoke base is supported too.

FFB-Bridge 1.2.0 adds the MOZA AY210 FFB Base. It works on Windows out of the box and drives the same cockpit force model as the rest of the supported lineup. Support came from a community ffb-probe report.

Windows: ready to fly Validated on Windows through DirectInput/PID. Select the AY210 in Settings → Hardware and fly.
Linux: recognised, actuation still being confirmed FFB-Bridge recognises the AY210 on Linux and installs the device-access rule, but we have not yet confirmed the firmware produces force through the generic Linux path. If you have one, a support bundle would help us finish validating it.
Needs FFB-Bridge 1.2.0 or newer The AY210 entry ships in 1.2.0; earlier builds will not recognise it as a supported device.
