New HOTAS advice

for me...its still the best combination:

MSFF2 (or older precision pro) or CH Combatstick
+
X52 or X52 pro throttle
+
Saitek rudder pedals (only tried them but Im still saving for one)


G940 is good as I heard but you need to use only logitech gear...no room for combinations....

The game would only see the G940 as one unit so you could use other Hotas parts, but in the case of the G940 where the Hotas parts can't be seperated you would have to put the parts of the Hotas your not using to the side somewhere. Or, as I said in my case, I took the cct board out of the Cougar joystick and put it in a smaller box. Easier to hide.

Differently of another HOTAS, G940 is see by Windows as TREE individual game devices.

Logitech_Mark
G940 shows up in Windows as three devices - Stick, Throttles, rudder pedals.

This limit you to use more one device, due IL-2 recognize up to four.

...but in the case of the G940 where the Hotas parts can't be seperated you would have to put the parts of the Hotas your not using to the side somewhere.

You can use G940 without pedals, in some review posted in these forums the guy still using your Simped Pedal (that use HALL sensor and exponential curves).

But stand-alone G940 pedal is useless - don't have own USB controller...

Logitech_Mark
The pedals are not a stand-alone set of USB pedals with a proprietary connector. They are axes extended from the main unit.

Due this, you can hook only more one device, in IL-2.

Another consideration is that is possible use G940 with FF off - only with return to center force. I consider M$ FF 2 USB with FF off better (more precise) than my CH Combatstick.

I'm surprised that the G940 hotas that uses only on usb connection shows up as 3 different ID's in IL-2. Since you can use three different hotas functions on one device like the MSFF2's throttle, twist rudder, and joystick and Il-2 see them as one device. Very unfortunate.
