Logitech G490 flight system

Strike you can fix that rotaries spiking problem very easily.

There is how to do it, remember clue that wire, so it cannot move, look Jaydolan answer.

It takes 10min fix that problem and no spiking anymore in rotaries when you move throttle.

Happy G940 owner here after that fix.

Problem is when you move throttle it moves that wire and then it moves that white connector too and rotaries get spike then. Glue it stationary and enjoy.

Had my G940 since release too, and happy with it. I also needed to do the mod to stop the R1/R2 spiking - no issues since.

Like the dual throttle for CLoD. Mixture on the port throttle, throttle control on the starboard throttle.

Also invested in the Saitek Pro Throttle Quadrant, which sits to the left of the G940 throttle. This has (from left to right). Radiator, Flaps, Gear.

I'm using a Logitech force 3d and paddles from my steering wheel as rudder. Can't seem to get accurate results with the stick, not sure if the problem is with Clod or the cheap joystick. Anyway, I'm also thinking of upgrading.

My choices are between the G940 and the Saitek Pro Flight X65F. The X65F is retailing slightly cheaper "from my country". I think someone mentioned their preference concerning the G940, but have anyone first hand experience with both setups? I'd appreciate some input into the decision. I know the G940 comes with paddles, but if the stick is poked, the whole setup is worthless.

I got a G940 system a few months ago. I actually did not like the ffb at all. It made the stick feel rough like pushing against electric motors, the action was not smooth. It made aiming accurately quite impossible for me. It's possible that it was defective, I have no experience with ffb sticks to compare it to. It is a good looking set of gear though and nice buttons and features, the build quality is very nice. The way it all comes together as a system and connects to itself means it's all or nothing. It would be nice if they sold the pieces separatly and designed them to be independantly connected. I ended up returning it.

I got the same problem first, then i configured FF settings in windows and get it better, much better, with default values at all 100% it was too stiff, i lowered 2 bottom values and now it's great.

Happy customer here too.
Bought it for ROF long ago, and works fantastic on it.
I'll have to reduce the FFB for COD though.

Haha, one funny note though.

If you are planning on taking any engine damage in clod with the G940, please buy some personal safety gear in advance. You've been warned

I have been seriously considering the G940 in the last few weeks.
There are an awful lot of posts dating from 2010-2011 about all the reversal bug issues and the spiky pots on the the rudder and throttle.
I realise the firmware made some adjustments to the X and Y axis, but how are the others these days?

I'm really after a stick with FFB and this seems like the only choice available.

I've compiled a load of bookmarks with the leobodnar fixes and people clamping the pots etc. Are they still necessary? and for the modders - are the changes you made still effective?

There aren't to many recent posts (2012) regarding the issues so any info will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Hippy
