Hi!

Yea, I had the same problem with the gas springs on my home setup.

The dampener is from an industrial washing machine, a friend is working on a repair/manufacturer company and those are used spares. Still fine for the simulator since they just replace those pre-emptively when the machine is serviced.

You can just use a regular car suspension too - just link it very low on your yoke column so you have a lot of torque on your yoke handle compared to the short & smaller "moment" the dampener has. It doesnt really matter if you use just a part of the movement anyway. By moving the attachment point higher on the yoke column, it becomes heavier. Might be a good thing to have two places for the dampener even with a quick-to-switch fastening so you can fly a light GA plane with the lower setting and a bigger jet with the upper one.
