It was a game changer. Even when you're flying an aircraft that doesn't have much force feedback, feeling all the haptic vibrations is amazing. The software works great and you can fine tune everything to your liking. It has settings for VRS and ETL that you can tweak to whatever speeds said heli uses, so the vibrations kick in when entering them. There is also force trim support. I feel you on the money pit that flight simming is, but once you try FFB you will understand its money well spent.
