Unfortunately not: BU0836s know nothing about FFB.

Sorry,

Does that mean that you lost the force feedback on your G940 when you modded it ?

Well in that case, I'd rather go for something more up to date. My intention was to upgrade to a G940, but buying such an expensive stick and not being able to aim correctly at my targets because of the reversal bug is something I just wouldn't be able to stand. So I'll probably wait until Logitech (or anyone else) fix this for all axxis.

I feel really frustrated about having a perfectly working stick and not being able to use it just because Microsoft did not bother respecting the common standards and/or providing an alternative solution when upgrading their operating system.

Thank you for your help anyway.

With the current firmware I didn't experience the reversal bug on the stick.

AFAIK reversal bug dont affect G940 X and Y axis.

Since you whant dual throttle and Force Feedback, the only choice is G940...

PatBig,

The new firmware published in December 2010 reduces the Reversal Bug on the stick's x- and y-axes to a neglectible quantitiy (down to 0.3% from above 3.0%) - It therefore was neither necessary to connect those sensors to the BU0836 nor to redirect the output via YaDeLi (or Multithrottle). *All* other axes still have the Reversal Bug and I do not see hope concerning Logitech (see the threads there).

@ Sokol1: Why not combining a MS FFB 2 with pedals and throttles from simped, ch-products, saitek, et al? Which one is a question of quality vs. costs...
