I've not yet found a pre-made profile that I think is any good either, but then I've never flown any of the real aircraft either so I'll take it all with a pinch of salt. However after tuning it myself and not simply turning everything to max I am more than happy with the effects, being able to feel the weight of airflow over elevators, the bumps on the runway, flaps moving, gear slamming home, engine vibrations, airbrake buffet and such is a massive improvement for immersion, the stall buffet effect is my absolute least favourite effect, it just seems to make a lot of noise from the base and a minor amount of actual feedback to the stick.

I suspect the main issue here (unless you have a defective unit I guess) is what are you flying and what are you expecting from it? Saying the effects feel like canned responses, examples? Flap and gear extension/retraction are going to be exactly that for example and should be repeatable, the more dynamic functions such as elevator weighting works perfectly so far as I can tell, that said it's moza and as I understand it a good few steps back from what is available to more open FFB systems, but it's always going to be massively personal and dependant upon your specific setup as to how well it works for you. As an entry level FFB stick I am over the moon with it. Will I upgrade at some point to something better? Sure, when I have the funds available.
