it definately takes some time to get used to and right now I am using the default settings right now. The one thing Ilike about it is the four force setting it has, I use one for field guns one for gv's and one for planes. The only thing is it has so many 4 way's and 4 different settings per button, you can get lost when you are trying to figure it out.
BTW this thing is a beast and is heavy, the only thing I had to do was order a new set of pedals, but oh well.
