Pitch-axis sticking / breakout resistance with MOZA AY90

First off, love the software.

I've recently got a AY90 base from Moza. I've been noticing an issue where the aircraft will be trimmed and stable, and I'll experience a good deal of force at the beginning of the pitch travel. I can pitch down and it'll be a smooth depression of the column, but when I try to pitch up just a little bit I'll encounter a significant force. After I break the force, it'll be smooth, and pitch up normally until things settle a bit. After a few seconds I'll experience the same thing. It certainly makes it tough to make fine adjustments to nose up pitch when on approach. Every aircraft I've tried with FFB Bridge seems to have this issue for me.

The column moves freely without power, and I don't experience this same behavior when I run Moza Cockpit instead of FFB Bridge, so I'm thinking its a setting somewhere in FFB Bridge that I haven't found yet. I've messed with pitch damping, pitch inertia, pitch friction, and pitch gain, along with breakout friction in FFB Bridge. I do realize the AY90 is pretty new, so I haven't seen a whole lot of discussion about it online.

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks.

1.7 should have improved this. I can certainly improve it further as needed. Let me know how this new version feels.

Did a short flight with the pmdg 736 today. Felt much better - might have experienced a little bit of the sticking, but not really noticeable. Controls were quite heavy with the new update; ended up turning the master gain down a good bit. Will do a flight later with the Fokker 100, as that is what I have been flying the most with FFB Bridge and the AY90, and will see if the pitch sticking is present with that one. Thanks for the update. I'll be looking at the new paid version to tweak it more.

OK, after testing with the Fokkers and other aircraft, I'm noticing the sticking is still there a little bit, not completely gone, but the updates have certainly improved it. If there is a setting somewhere that I could adjust, either in the paid or free version, let me know. Otherwise, if you want to just tweak it a bit down more from your end, that would be great. Thanks.
