has anyone tried this product is it any good.

I saw it but I would stay away from someone who claims that they tweak things more "realistic" without providing what exactly is and how.

Sounds like it mainly tweaks sensitivity of the controls.

Cheers, Rob.

Fundamental problems like?

I would like to know as well. It’s not as bad as all that.

For GA piston types, are things like MP vs. RPM modeled accurately in MSFS like they are in  A2A FSX/P3D or XP11?

In my opinion, the inertia / momentum and / or the lift coefficient of the airfoils. I often feel like aircraft are flying with the literal characteristics of an RC aircraft. I don't get that feeling with DCS, to compare.

Really don't want to compare with other sim. DCS has it own skeleton in a closet. But can you compare with how actual aircraft fly. Like last time I flew Bonanza for my IFR proficiency I barely moved an inch of yoke. Would you expect this aircraft behave differently than say 172? In fact It's more sensitive and responsive that 172 even thought it's larger and heavier! Expectation of reality and reality itself often are two different things 

Also I want to mention that in real life I control most aircraft I fly with two fingers. I carefully and trim them for a speed after setting desired power setting. They do fly on "rails" and that the way I like it 🙂 But I see many simmesr believe "rails" is bad and unrealistic thing! LOL

Yes when you leave the turbulence boundary layers (around 3000ft at my airfield), but in no way true during approach with flaps out where I live.

I have made hundreds of approaches this year and I can count only a handful when I was flying in butter smooth air when landing.

I have my ATP but I'll admit whenever I rent I sometimes have a death grip like a 1st time student haha.

As for he sim, I find its VERY easy to encounter PIO. I've never had that in the real world or even other sims. In the 172 I end up using the toe brakes for tight turns. In MSFS I just tap the pedals and I'm turning 10* / sec. 

Maybe its all in my head. Wouldn't be the first time I had no idea I was wrong.

I agree. The main problem of MSFS is the inertia / stability. As @Chock once stated, the aircraft in MSFS rotate too much around their CG. It feels like a RC plane.

Sorry I'm not aware  of any "turbulence boundary layers" or approach with flaps were you leave. Most  GA airplane can land with or without flaps and it's not increase or decrease turbulence. Turbulence or no turbulence I always fly the same IRL except when it too bumpy I drove speed to maneuvering

Sometime I got two type of student (or certified pilots) with one major problem controlling aircraft.. First type has Vulcan death grip on controls, and the second dramatic control syndrome during approach when they overcompensate and  correct in infinite cycle. The first type and second type of student (or pilots) get my clinic of hands free  flying when they only allowed to use rudder, throttle and elevator trim. After an hour or so things usually got better Instead of fighting airplane they learn how to sense and adjust. Approaches become less dramatic, control adjustment small and so on.

I admit I haven't flown big jet to know the difference. But it did check out handful of airline pilots who had the same approach as me - two finger on the yoke. And I can tell right away Pro vs Joe 🙂

Sorry for being unclear

 Flying on rails is not gonna happen where I fly, unless you stay clear of mechanical turbulence and local thermals and that means > 2000 AGL for me.

Most simmers complaing about flying on rails syndrome during the approach phase, and rightfully so.
