Finally I can put my MSFFB2 in the cellar! G940 godness...

I'm sold. I'm getting this after these favorable comments I think. Thanks.

I picked up a G940 and it is amazing! I have a CH fighterstick & throttle (sold the pedals) now collecting dust in my closet.

There is simply no comparison, the G940 blows the Ch gear out of the water. The G940 makes the CH gear feel like childrens toys really. I couldn't live without the G940 now just like I can't live without my triple screens

5.0 out of 5 stars This HOTAS setup is amazing!, October 9, 2009
By Baron Hornswaggle Von Goldenwulf - See all my reviews
I have owned a CH Fighterstick, Throttle, and Pedals for one year and I am now going to throw them out if I cannot sell them, because after using the G940 for a week I WILL NEVER GO BACK to CH!

The G940 stick is 10 times better than the CH fighterstick and the forcefeed back alone is worth the price of admission. I play IL2-1946 and Over Flanders Field and the force feedback is top notch! People boast that the CHs are the most accurate sticks you can buy, well this is no longer true.

The G940 throttle is so much better than the CH Throttle as well. It has a more natural curve of motion, the buttons and dials are better layed out and it is way more comfortable to use.

The G940 pedals are also ten times better than the ch pedals. The g940s are about an inch wider and use a more natural & realistic rocker range of motion than the CHs gimped forced linear range of motion.

In short, the CH Products feel like toys compared to the G940. If you like simulators these are a must buy!

Does anybody want to buy a used CH HOTAS setup that is in excellent condition?

As I said, these are the best of the best (unless you spend $20,000 on a professional military grade HOTAS setup) and a must buy if you enjoy playing flight sims. These are to the flying games what the G25 is to the racing games...

Which one is more precise, so you can get the best shot?

Well, it was unfortunately a long time since I had my trusty old CH Flight stick (it broke down after 10 years of heavy usage) - but I remember it was very exact. It also remember that it was a bit too much "defaulting" to the the four base axis if you understand what I mean. I have tried later versions but they basically feel the same. Sure, if you want the most exact stick it may be a CH stick, but the immersion? As an old IRL pilot I appreciate the stall buffeting more than the minor loss of accuracy caused by vibrations and no spring centering...

I other tests I've read the precision is on par with the CH sticks and better than Saitek and Thrustmaster, especially as it uses expensive Hall sensors and no potentiometers as many of the others use. It sure is more accurate than my old MSFFB2 at least!

Thank you for posting info. I've been waiting for it.

Yes, and it feels "wider" in its spectra than the MSFFB2. The only backside is that there is a small deadzone in the middle of the movement. I heard someone that felt this was an immersion killer, but like I said above I actually dont get that bothered by it. It's actually nice to be able to make small aiming "calibrations" without using a lot of muscle I have not investigated the configuration options regarding the "force deadzone" but there may be options for that. No problem for me.

By the way, the precision when aiming for example feels a lot better than the MSFFB2!
