IL2 FFB is lame at best.
I've tried a multitude of tweaked FFB files for the game.
I fly IL2 with it turned off in the game.
I still have a solid feel of the stick, and aiming is precise.
When trying ffb, I used files turning gun shake all but off.
I couldn't see letting that wear out my stick.
What forced me to drop FFb all together is the fact that once you alt tab out, for any reason you loose FFB entirely till you restart the game, a real PIA, and not worth the trouble.
I'm using FFB in ROF and alt tabbing has no effect on it, hopefully SOW will be able to manage this as well.
