I have the G940 and for a complete setup it's really good to have force feedback too.

What struck me the most was that going from a lot of other Logitech sticks (Freedom 2,4 wireless and Force 3D pro) this was a huge step in the right direction!

It has all my needs at least (tons of buttons and sliders and viewhats) + force feedback (with proximity sensor to turn off FFB when not holding the stick). It's VERY precise for a FFB stick I'd say, no issues keeping a plane flying center without trim.. smooth adjustments are easy. Only "Issues" i have is that sometimes throttle in IL-2 will jump between say 50% to 51% back and forth a little (probabaly potmeter issue). But it's not really a "problem".

The FFB is also STRONG compared to other products I've tried. It really jerks around the table once it gets going. Some people have complained about the trimwheels not having center detent, but there's a visual line on the center to help you center it. I got used to it really fast. Besides, you don't watch the wheel as you trim, you watch the horizon or VSI for response

Trigger is 2step, so If you wanted, you could have the trigger initiate guncam/track recording once you press it, and when you fully press it you will fire guns. It worked in IL-2 1946 for a test Quite cool... Of course, you end up with tons of small tracks in a long dogfight...

The pedals are good. Adjustable friction and nice toe-brakes. Never had any spikes with them Throttle is nice, split-throttle with a spring-loaded pin you can unlock/lock them together for single engine fighters. Personally I use the throttles as mixture/throttle or prop-pitch/throttle. Hat switches allows for speedbrakes or operating bombsights or other stuff. Throttle comes with illuminated buttons on the panel with customizable titles (you can make your own labels for the buttons and put them under a small transperent glass to easier read what the button does )

All in all this is a 6/6 product because of the bang for your buck

First HOTAS I personally own, tried some others, liked this one better. 2 Friends were curious about it and after a brief try they both ordered it online Not had any problems with it at all.
