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

By the way, I'm not talking about the CH rudders, which I haven't used.
I use Hoffman's (R.I.P.) Simped, which are just the best I ever used.

And adding to some previous posts, I did try the G940 and it seemed..."cheap" for my taste.
But still a good option for the average simmer.

In general, we're not all looking for the same things.
I look for precision and quality. Other look for many buttons, others for FFB and other for lots of lights. There are HOTAS and sticks for every taste in the market

Well I’m going to put my views on the table here. Don't take this as product/personal bashing as it's not.

I've been using it now for about 14 hours and cannot fault it; I've found it to more of an enjoyable experience than my MSFFB and X52. Re: the comments about it feeling "cheap", I cannot for the life of me understand that, it doesn't feel cheap at all. It's extremely solid and when running through the calibration routines for the FFB effects I thought I was going to injure myself at one point as some of the effects are really strong.

In terms or programmability, any function in a sim (I’m using IL-2 & FSX) can be mapped to the HOTAS, I've actually found the Profiling software much easier to use than Saitek's which to me is saying something. The profiler also has FSX / IL-2 key map pre-loaded so it’s as simple assigning a sim function to a button or rotary and you’re done, I spent at the most about 1/2 hour setting it up for IL-2. As with the X52 software I rejoiced in that fact that you can also map "Zones" or "Axis" to rotary's e.g. I have all the FOVs mapped to the throttle R1 rotary.

All the FFB effects can be adjusted from 0% to 150% (150% will shake the desk ), you can also adjust the spring tension and dampening along the same scales. This has been great for tweaking as I have noticed a huge difference in the way the FFB effects work b/n sims, but that is the sims themselves not the stick. You can also set a spring tension for sims that don’t have FFB built in. My only gripe is that FFB settings can only be set globally; you can't set specific FFB settings for individual sims.

In terms of standing the test of time, yes I agree with many here about that, time will tell, but the same can be said about any new piece of kit. If the G940 is built to the same standard as their FFB racing wheels then I'm not worried. My brother in law has had his FFB Momo Racing Wheel for over 6 years now and it's still running the as good as when it first came out of the box. Yes products do have faults, and there is a given 1% failure rate for most massed produced products, but so far I have had no issues.

I'm happy to say that as of right now, after getting it home and setting up, I haven’t ended up with that disappointment feeling like I did with the X52. For me the G940 works and it works well.

Just bought this G940 setup and have installed it without problem.
It's a completely different setup then my old X52 and CH Pedals. Will take some time to get used to

The pedals seems a wee bit softer than the CH ditto.

The pedals are adjustable. The knob in the center of the rudders controls the tension. Same for Throttle (underneath) tension ect .....

I prefer some extra tension in the rudder myself and have them set pretty tight. I found CH to be a sloppy mess in comparison to the logitechs.

** There is new software on the way which will greatly enhanced scripting ect .....

I could not have said it any better myself, the only thing I hated more than my CH throttle was the CH peddals! They really, really sucked and my girlfriend made fun of my CH setup, she said it looked and felt like a toy, but she does not say that about my g940 setup..... she is in love with that stick lol.

I disliked the CH pedals as well after using them for a few weeks, and I don't think I could ever approve of the straight-line throw of the throttle. But I don't think the G940 pedals look much better. Definitely Simpeds for me.

Yes the simped f16s look like a wet dream but at 268 euros they are def a shot to the balls!
