I have the MFGs with damper and a very lightly loaded spring, which provides a very nice feel. I can't imagine FFB providing much added value, at least as compared to the effort and $ to FFB-itize the pedals, other than maybe feeling runway bumps and such (which are meaningless in a heli on skids). But regardless, I think the biggest problem is the lack of suitable telemetry coming from the sims (DCS and MSFS). But then again Walmis and Numbah481 have pulled several rabbits out of the hat such that the Rhino has exceeded my (high) expections even at this early stage, so maybe there's something to this. HeckIdontknow.

Maybe said better -- I got an NLR HF8 rumble seatpad at almost the same time as the Rhino, and the combination is very satisfying in both MSFS and DCS. The HF-8 is only about US$200 (Amazon) -- and there's no assembly required other than strapping it to your seat. So -- thus far I'm not missing FFB in the pedals. Oh, and helicopters (at least the ones that I've flown) have very light pedal forces, and I don't remember feeling much mechanical feedback from them at all.
