Logitech G940

[MikkOwl]

DI View does work, thanks! Never heard of it before. Cannot calibrate or change anything with it, but can at least check out the axis behaviours.

I realized I could implement a little correction filter in my multi-throttle software for the G940 at least (But only for what is controlled through device link - don't think it would work well to pipe everything through there). I have already fixed the throttle reversal bug there, and setting up the wheels now. At last, no more annoying throttle jumping too far or the trims being unagreeable in finding that perfect sweet spot.

EDIT: DIView cannot see the last axis of the G940 stick - the "X" axis of the 'mini joystick' (top hat). Neither can AutoHotKey. I think some of these windows APIs just can't recognize more axises. And perhaps this is a reason Logitech split up their devices - too many axises for one device.

Also I suspect this is the reason that DXTweak2 crashes - one too many axises.

The Ministick axis that does read though is very accurate, interesting. Although I can't think of a use for it (beyond using it as a digital trim hat in the sense that the F-16 Fighting Falcon is trimmed - aileron and elevator - wouldn't feel right (or would it?) for an old WW2 plane).

I think you're right, I think the maximum is 8 axes per device in DirectInput. I'd probably use the ministick just as mouse panning because I don't really use my TrackIR3, not enough room on my desk to stick it in a useful position, it's too easy to go outside the tracking range.

I thought I would update this topic as it is in the IL-2 forum, and it's about the G940: I have now managed to supply support for the G940 for IL-2

Reversal bug removal of most axes
Toe brake support
Dual throttle support
Throttle LED colour support (yep, if the gear is down it will light up green, tail wheel unlocked and it is red, WEP is on and it flashes red, arrestor hook down and.. so on).

Nice support MikkOwl.

I hear Logitech is still working on a driver update. If they fix the sloppy centering I'll give the G940 another go, and try your programming.
