Not relevant to your request but I use the G940, before that bug was announced I never noticed it, but I wanted to test it out for myself and then indeed noticed the error in the axis, someone said earlier in this thread that flying with it was impossible and not to keep in formation or extreme flying, utter bullcrap of course, I've never had any problems getting to a specific power percentage so formation flying is not an issue. Extreme flying? Pilot skills mostly, maybe someone who has profit going from 78 % to 77 in a nano second might be annoyed by the error. I don't want to show off here, but in the last online campaign I played I had the highest tally of enemy fighters shot down versus a low death rate, so flying with the G940 is at least if not more able to get yourself a good result in IL2 then say a X52.

I can understand that some might see me as a 'fanboy' ( which is actually true because I'm a fan of my G940) but in a negative way, I tried to make clear that the reversal bug is not a strong drawback of the G940 in IL2.

I agree that the reversal bug is not a huge problem, but it is a problem that makes accurate targeting a little slower than it would be without it. My favorte test is using a 109 with the MK108 and see how quickly I can kill a dozen friendly aircraft. I use friendly aircraft as they don't avoid, so its more about stick accuracy. The MSFF2 is the best in time and accuracy, taking only seconds to shoot them all down with one 108 per aircraft. The G940 was alittle slower as there was slightly more stick stiring, due mainly to the reversal bug. Although this is all relative to the ability of the user.
