Ohhhh..the stick, the stick!!!

I too use MSFF2.
I was in my element with that stick in IL2 using older versions of Windows where you could use the FF interface and reduce stick tension/forces. I have tried various ways of changing the forces, but have never regained that perfect feeling of flying that I felt with the original IL2 and FB. I felt like an ace. The planes moved as if I was a part of them. Now it is all so mechanical, which is probably the main reason why I can't hit anything anymore, and also explains why I only fly occasionally (previously I flew several hours per day!!).

I still fly '1946' a lot more than SoW. It just feels better.

Unfortunately I'm not flying online at all. I wouldn't even know which mods I should have installed. I'd love to; it just seems too much trouble.
