If the cessna wheel is at least as good as the one on the Logitech/Saitek multi panel then it is a real game changer. Trim works SO much better for me now in MSFS.
A few years ago, I gave my Saitek trim wheel to my brother because I wasn’t flying GA sims as much. It worked well will my sims. Without it, trimming an ac in MSFS 2020 has become a game of chase the needle. I can’t seem to configure my current hardware to give me what I need for precise trimming.

FFB is better but still not the same (admittedly based on my now 10yo experience with two sticks). With center-sprung sticks, the problem is math. There is 50% of travel/force fore and aft of the spring. If you trim for 500KIAS/2°AOA, there is 50% fore and aft. If you trim for 150KIAS/11°AOA there is STILL 50% fore and aft. That’s a problem for which the player often blames himself.

Yes, it was possible to fly more intuitively with my G940 FFB. Other than that, though, the rest of the stick was subpar. Few buttons or hats to cover things. Would have been a good F-4 model, or for any jet older than that, but it was not made for HOTAS.
I hope WW’s FFB base is good and affordable so I can do that with my Hornet and Viper grips again.

I built the 737 DIYSim cyclic (https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/heli-cyclic-stl-cad-files) , specifically to address this problem.
It works very well for what it is, but I do wish there was a hair less free play in the gears. Ironically it’s using the high precision rotary HES that allows for the little bit of play to be detected and used as stick movement.

Didn’t know where else to post this. F-4 feeding time.

Though, I’m not sure I’ve seen the shark mouth on RF-4s so much, was it common?
