Well I was going from ROF to IL-2 one day and thought I'd just use the CH for the hell of it and forgot the usual switch out to my MSFF2. I've not looked back since. The CH stick is just so smooth and silky in comparison. The MSFF2 was always a bit twitchy no matter how I had my profile set. When pulling my sight onto a target the MSFF2 always had a little tendency to be bouncy as in I'd always have a little trouble getting it to flatline on the target. Its very subtle but noticeable. With the CH you can roll onto a target and just stop the crosshairs dead by simply relaxing some stick pressure. It didn't even take much getting used to at all and I didn't even have to change my profile.
I agree in ROF and initially I did not like in IL-2 COD, FFB fell away regurlarly. But now it works fine in IL-2 COD. There is not driver support for Windows Vista and 7 but you can set the sensitivity in the game itself. With FFB you can feel the energy of the aircraft not having to watch speed indicator all the time. Pity that there are not much FFB sticks on the market now.

I had a MSFFB2, the motor stopped working. It was the best stick I had ever used for precision and the feel of air speed was second to none.

I miss that stick. I now have the CH t hotas, its does the job.

Does CH have FFB products ? Could not find any. I only found Logitech FFB.

CH does not have FFB flight sticks that I am aware of. The Logitech G940 is supposed to be a good flight system, a tad expensive.

I have heard good things about it, there are several posts on this forum about it.

The Logitech system had a couple if pretty major issues last time I checked. I think thy might have fixed these with firmware updates by now but I would definitely check into it before shelling out 300 bucks.

I agree that the energy state feedback of the MSFF2 was nice, especially with the Mustangs in IL-2 which had a tenancy to snap stall if you over input however, if you fly the sim or plane enough you kinda just know your energy state and the sim gives audio and visual cues before you stall which you react to instinctively after a while.

All I'm saying is that for me, and I have played a LOT of IL-2 with my MSFF2, the CH made me move effective and I just feel more in control and connected to my aircraft when using it now. Everyone has their preference and what works for you just works. I would recommend spending some time with the CH though as it just might surprise you.

+1 for everything the OP said, except the lack of force feedback strength settings in game. The stock settings are just too powerful and in 109's I need to fight my stick when in a dive. Way too powerful and wears down my old FF2 motors.

In the previous patch custom FF files worked for me. Not any more. Every single one I tried gives me a wobbly stick.

A real shame since the game is now running more or less ok (with thanks to fruitbat's settings).

Love my MSFFB2 stick. Personally don't think I could fly without it - it all adds to the experience.
