Depends of the JS.. Some have very stiff spring, some don't. Just too many variations to say one way or another.

Maybe.. But there are variations even in FFB stick.. For example, the Microsoft FFB2, when you take your hand off the stick, the FFB is disabled, where as others will simulate springs and pull the stick back towards center.
In summary, apparently Crumpp has not thought this one through all the way.. There is limitations in the PC simulating a plane.. Flying qualities and seat of the pants types of feedback are something we may never obtain with a $1,000 PC and a $50 game. Long story short, no flight simulation ever was, is, or will be real, hence the name 'simulation'. Once Crumpp comes to grips with that simple truth, than and only than will he realize how silly most of his Spitfire simulation arguments are.
