Lucas, there is a very good review at SimHQ

http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/technology_155a.html

The conclusion is pretty much the same!

Also there are some very interesting posts at forums.eagle.ru but site is down now.

Thought it was only here... It's been pretty unstable recently, going out quite often.

Thanks for the link for SimHQ's review, I'll check it.

EDIT: Now just a question: how does it feel compared to the Cougar and Fighterstick? The stick's shape is a very different from the F-16's, does it changes much when flying or it's just a matter of getting used to it?

G940 is better than stock Cougar (with pots),accurate and quick.
I use Modded Cougar.I can say that is very easy to get use the Forces and set up.

I had G940 at 17 Dec and 20th went online.If you check the diagram below (no scientific and no technical ) you will see that after 2 days offline flying with G940, I was still the same bad pilot I use to be before!!

I don't have CH products ,so I can't tell about Fighterstick.

The stick shape maybe a problem for some guys because is thinner than Cougar and there is a hut,the ministick and 4 buttons on top panel.

Thanks, Swaty.

Even if I went for Cougar, I wouldn't modify it in any way. It's too expensive.

But a question, what do you think about durability? Shall it last long enought to make it worth the price? Everyone heard of the sturdiness of the Cougar, Fighterstick and everything, and I guess their sucessors (Warthog and A-10 HOTAS) will have the same durability, but Logitech doesn't have a very good record on this matter when it comes to FFB sticks. This is turning some people away from the G940, and declining it without even giving it a chance. I don't know if you have played with it for enough time to give a final veredict, but from your first impression, does it seem sturdy?

Well,I really don't know...
Was my first experience with Logitech product.Looks good but you can never can tell.

I didn't like the sound of motors while stand by,the more they work the less life time they may have.

I guess, soon we will have more input from users they bought it and use it everyday.

In my opinion if someone is happy with his current flight system should wait,but is a good solution for someone who needs now a flight system.

Personally,I wouldn't switch Cougar+simped for G940 but if I would suggest it as an option to a buddy who starts IL-2 now.
Is not cheap, but the price is close to any similar solution. For instance X52 Pro & Pro Flight Rudder Bundle costs 255-268 €,CH set about 300€ e.t.c.
