any way to adjust force feedback in the aircraft cfg file??

I just bought F1 C172, and found out that it doesnt have the force feedback when airbourne.....
I use sidewinder force feedback joystick....when the 172 moves on the ground, I can feel the force feedback, but once airborne the force is gone, and the joystick can move freely, with no resistance at all....this lack of force feedback and resistance makes it very difficult to control....
any way to configure it?
nothing wrong with the game control setting, coz it works fine in other aircraft.....
