Wait...?!
Are you saying that when you increase the throttle SLOWLY in IL2 1946...
...it does NOT jump 1-3? (but instead goes in smooth 1% increments)
Are you saying that when you SLOWLY reverse the throttle in IL2 1946...
...it does NOT jump 2-6%? (but instead goes back the single 1%)
When I started out, I thought my bad aim at high speeds were due to
my lacking skills... I did not realize that there was a quite major flaw
in the G940 compounding the problem. While the reversal bug has been
fixed for the X/Y axis on the stick(via a firmware update which is all but
easy to find), ALL other analogues still have this glitch. While not a big
thing for a newbie, it WILL annoy the HECK out of you as you improve.
What is worse, is that Logitech has been working on a fix for this since
they released the stick. Furthermore they give close to no feedback on
what the plans/schedules are. So, don't count on the rest of the axis
being fixed.
The really appalling flaw of the G940 is that one of the cables going from
the buttons on throttle to its base, are 1cm too short and made from
a brittle material. Meaning after about 4-6 months of use, you will start
seeing R1&R2 jitter as you move the throtte(and thus the cables) back
and forth. While this is not hard to fix, it is a defect by design.
In short...
- The G940 is overprised!
- Has a design flaw which WILL break the throttle automatically.
- Has a bug which remains un-fixed after 2 years.
- The profiler(which binds the keys etc) is adequate at best, but actually rather "sub par"
- There is close to NO information from Logitech and they are SLOW to produce Software.
+ The Logitech phone support is very professional and serviceminded.
+ The only HOTAS FFB stick on the market.
+ Once you figure out how to fix the wires in the throttle, it is a sturdy piece of EQ.
+ Once you resign to throttle frenetically up and down to get to specific percentages
or RPMs, the reversal bug on the throttle is nothing more than a constant inconvenience.
