Eco
I tried to calibrate stick after you left, and it messed up what I had seen earlier.
I do have to hold stick forward for level flight, it doesn't require as much pressure as it did though with FFB off.
This stick with FFB off it uses the motor to force center, and it does it firmly.
So I installed the MFFB 4.0 software in Safe mode, so I could make sure it was working, then flew it some more.
SE5a requires a bit of right aileron, and forward stick pressure to fly level, again with less effort.
I don't get much gun shake

And the buffeting is soft, and stick pressure all together is soft. And it never goes Floppy when you stall it.
The temps being higher was my fault on the reboot. I forgot to turn up fan speed Temps are again down to 53 or so.
And I think I'm loosing about 5 fps with FFB on. But it's hard to tell since every free flight is not exactly the same as it would be if it was a track.
