Question GA Flight Simulator - University Project Question

Hey, I'm a student at University and my project is to improve the flight controls on their flight sim. It's simulating A Socata TB 9 (light 4 seater aircraft similar to a PA28). I know with large commercial airline sims they are simulating hydraulic flight controls so don't necessarily employ a feedback system. My question is with a GA aircraft the flight controls are obviously mechanically linked so have more of a feed back than an airliner. I haven't had a chance to visit any over GA sims yet but do they have a system that employs force feedback for the controls? i.e. sloppy controls at slower speeds and stronger controls at high speed? I appreciate GA sims would more likely be procedural trainers and not a lot of emphasis on the feel of the aircraft would be applied but I am interested to know if there are any other GA sims out there that employ this system?

Thanks!
