Before I got the force feedback stick, trim didn't make sense
since you couldn't feel it in the controls.

The hundred bucks I spent on mine were well worth the enhanced
simulation experience. Flight is much smoother and landings
are greased much more often.


What brand and model of stick was this? And has it been reliable?


It's a Microsoft Force Feedback 2. It's been a while since I
bought it so it may not even be made anymore.

I note that PMDG recommends that you not use force feedback with their
aircraft. According to them, it's so far from the real aircraft that
it does more harm than good (at least for the large aircraft that they
model).
