Eagle b-gap was only tricky until I realised I hadn't pushed the tab up against the hanger stop so the whole thing was rotated clockwise.
Force derailleur was easy, I did buy the new alignment tool though. Cassette is 10-33t. Weirdly it's quiet on either end, but noisy in the middle.
Yes only ever had SRAM HRD, no mechanical.
No chain drops.

I initially made the same mistake too. Corrected it but still not performing the way the reviews had me believe.
Is the noise from the cassette happening while you shift or a continuous noise? I've read other reports about noise with the force cassette, a 'noise reduction' kit was released https://www.lordgunbicycles.co.uk/noise-reduction-rings-kit-sram-stealth-cassette-force-axs-xg-1270
Do you have this or was it preinstalled on the cassette?

Interesting you say that, I found my 11 speed etap was pretty easy in terms of getting the shifting feeling nice crisp and quiet.
But when I got xx1 eagle axs for my mtb I was pretty disappointed in how sensitive the rear derailleur was to set up, especially the b-gap adjustment, to the point that even today I still dont feel its where it could be. I also have the rainbow cassette and feel its noisey and clunky compared to my old xt 11 speed stuff!
Did you find getting the Force derailleur set up tricky?
Which size is your Force cassette?
I started to think the noise on my Eagle cassette was just because its wide range, theres more vertical distance for the chain to drop down and be the source of the noise. Theres always a loud clunk with downshifts.
Are we talking hydro disc brakes here? I found the Red hrd brakes ok, I've only bled them once since installing them though.
Have you ever had any weird chain drop incidents with force axs?
