G940 bugs sorted out???

[F19_Klunk]

thanx guys for all your input. Even though I would love this set, it seems to me that there is a risk I have to wrestle with the gear, or with Log support... considering the cost, I think I'll pass...

Actually I have no clue where to go to now.. The Hog and the X65 is way too expensive as I won't get any peds.... hmm I have to think hard about it.

I've had my G940 since release and don't have any spike issues. Been yanking and banking about 4 nights a week and still no problems.

The thing that i dont think il like about the x65 is that the stick doesnt actually move which would be very weird if you ask me:

A force stick is not the most historic/realistic stick you will ever use (unless you fly modern jet sims where modern jets like the F16 use force stick) but it is probably the most accurate stick you will ever use. The way it works is the stick senses the force you apply, where as other sticks sense how far you have moved the stick. It takes a little getting use to but once you do it is pretty nice, I have not tried the Satic stick, but we do have some military force sticks where I work and they use them to fly F4 phantom drones, me personally though I like the historic/realistic aspect of the standard sticks

Have had mine for more than a year now and it still works perfectly.

I just love my G940... I think the reversal bug in the thottle and pedal axis is just academic. You will not notice it if you don't really try to... I have never noticed it and I'm rather picky. How often do you really slowly apply rudder in one direction and then really slowly apply it in the other direction? And notice that small error? Last night I flew a bunch of bomber missions which I have done lately (getting old?) using Thors bombing guide (as usual) that requires you to set the throttle at 80%, and I have not noticed that reversal bug while doing that so when should I then do it accept if I really want to find it?

Nope, PC Doctorn had the best price back when it was released so I bought it there but I don't recommend them for a bunch of reasons (start with the name? )

That's just it, it is NOT a 'small error' it is a 'big reversal spike error'

Such that when your moving your rudders (fast or slow does not mater) say to the left you will get a sudden spike to the right as if you kick full right rudder, which in turn makes the nose of your plane wag back and forth and thus messing up the shot you were trying to line up with a little rudder to the left.

As for not noting it now, keep your fingers crossed and enjoy it while you can in that I did not notice it much at first either, but with time the problem showed up and only go worse with time/usage.

OK, It may be that haven't used it that much then? Since I bought it 1.5 years ago I guess I don't have more than 20-30 flight hours on it... Kids, wife, work and those darn friends stop my rightfully deserved sim time all the time
