Every joystick out there has some sort of issue that should not exist given the technology we have today.

Thrustmaster really has no excuse when they're charging as much for their Warthog as most college kids first car and Logitech should be ashamed since they sould have been able to see their G940 glaring errors with even a cursory glance.
The problem is that this market isnt the most profitable,that is no excuse by any means but they just dont give their best to accomplish the task of providing a reliable product.For example I used my brothers Logitech Force GT racing wheel and I found no problems except some minor cosmetic issues.Has been working great for more than a year and it seems it will continue working like it is supposed to for a long time.

Exactly! I alsmost never hear about issues with their racing products. Never heard about a reversal bug, or overheating issues, or spiking axis, but as soon as they make a joystick I would be interested in buying. . . .

reversal
overheating
spiking
wearing out after a year
etc.

It is a shame that such expensive setups as the Warthog and G940 still have issues.Since my bad experience with my Logitech joystick I decided to stay away from any Logitech flight related hardware and even if I had the money to get the Warthog I wouldnt buy it.

The Warthog is built by Thrustmaster.

Just when i was putting back the G940 and Warthog in my list of "maybe buy" reading your comments makes me scrap them from my list again.

CH setup?
But i don't like CH pedals size, 13 inch from left to right.
I don't like Pro throttle almost no resistance and straight travel.

Currently have a almost untouched X45 and saitek throttle quad.
But want to sell it before it going to spike.

Also have cougar but upgrade to hall sensors cost 220 dollar.

Wanna sell them and buy something that last.

CH throttle quadrant and Saitek rudder pedals could be an option for you.

So does the forcefeedback of the MSFFB2 work good without a windows 7 driver in windows 7?

As advertised - you just don't have any means of lowering its strength. You have to do it in game and IL2 has no such option. Hopefully CoD will or else I will have to bolt it down to my desk.

It works fine and you can lower the centre tension FFB if you need to by editing the IL2 1946 Spring force feed back file with Fedit.
