I just got one too, and so far I love it! It beats the CH virtual
pilot I was using by a mile.

As far as the re-centering, it works better for me to use the
"joysick" or "non-linear" setting for steering rather than the
"wheel" or "linear" settings. Using the non-linear setting
should help with the centering of the wheel.
