I have the same joystick (MS FF2). I first used XPForce, nice tool with quite a few options. But I experienced that in certain situation it kind of "looses" the force, which would then kick in too late, or sometimes the center would feel very slack (that was with XP 10 and early betas of XP 11). Could be my setup though ...
I then found the free plugin "x-force"by Christophe Saphar. It's a bit simpler, but very reactive and acurate. You can adjust force magnitude (forces increase with speed), plus ground bumps, and engine and gear vibrations (if you like this stuff - otherwise you can simply turn it off). Profiles are saved per aircraft.
Very happy with it!
Now if there only was a plugin that simulates realistic trimming for force feedback sticks like fs-force does for P3D/FSX ...
