Yes, thats true but it's just much easier with a FFB stick. That is if FFB support has been properly implemented.
Knowing you're riding right on the edge of the envelope just from the feel of the stick without looking at the HUD or a single gauge in the cockpit is one of the reasons I keep flying in DCS. While I do enjoy the FBW jets, the modules I keep coming back to are the ones that give me that ability.
One of HB's developers actually stated that they now have a MSSFB2 joystick in house, so I believe FFB support is coming, probably not at EA but at some point. Im quite stoked for that. :joystick:
