sometimes i lose all centre tension after takeoff or during flaps up with this stick., microsoft seem to say this is by design not fault., thanks in advance for any comment on thischeers ., dan -)

There is very little return-to-centre tension in most aircraft, unless its put there artificially. The one big advantage of no RTC is you can feel out of trim forces. The disadvantage is it makes the joystick feel `sloppy` unless you move it real slow.As MS have ceased development of FF products I wouldn't expect any solution.Allcott

hi Allcottyep, these game controllers do get updated rapidly - will stay with it for a while as otherwise its a neat joystickcheers dan -)
