It does. Only the X and Y axes of the stick are hall-sensored. All other axes have 'cheap' pots (I've seen those on the throttle-levers when I modded mine): trim1-3, throttle-levers 1 an 2, R1 and R2, the pedals, and the 2 toe-brakes.

Purportedly this is the reason why Logitech has fixed (well, minimized) the ReversalBug on X and Y axes of the stick, but has not done anything about all the other axes, and as rumour has it, will not ever (see here and here).

The reason behind this refusal is - again a rumour - that the ReversalBug prevents users from noticing the wearing-out of the cheap pots - because they're already used to this kind of behaviour. It makes sense to me, because the ReversalBug is, as Sokol1 wrote, in the Firmware and (a) was easily fixed for the hall sensored axes and completely disappears when you connect the pot-sensored axes to one of Bodnar's boards.
