Logitech G490 flight system

[SharpeXB]

I got a G940 system a few months ago. I actually did not like the ffb at all. It made the stick feel rough like pushing against electric motors, the action was not smooth. It made aiming accurately quite impossible for me. It's possible that it was defective, I have no experience with ffb sticks to compare it to. It is a good looking set of gear though and nice buttons and features, the build quality is very nice. The way it all comes together as a system and connects to itself means it's all or nothing. It would be nice if they sold the pieces separatly and designed them to be independantly connected. I ended up returning it.

I got the same problem first, then i configured FF settings in windows and get it better, much better, with default values at all 100% it was too stiff, i lowered 2 bottom values and now it's great.

Happy customer here too.
Bought it for ROF long ago, and works fantastic on it.
I'll have to reduce the FFB for COD though.

Haha, one funny note though.

If you are planning on taking any engine damage in clod with the G940, please buy some personal safety gear in advance. You've been warned

I have been seriously considering the G940 in the last few weeks.
There are an awful lot of posts dating from 2010-2011 about all the reversal bug issues and the spiky pots on the the rudder and throttle.
I realise the firmware made some adjustments to the X and Y axis, but how are the others these days?

I'm really after a stick with FFB and this seems like the only choice available.

I've compiled a load of bookmarks with the leobodnar fixes and people clamping the pots etc. Are they still necessary? and for the modders - are the changes you made still effective?

There aren't to many recent posts (2012) regarding the issues so any info will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Hippy

Well. I am one of the modders (in February 2011, both throttle levers and pedals; pictures here) and the changes I made are still very effective Because I built my own controls and panel later I did not bother to mod the three trim controls of the stick and the R1 and R2 on the throttle (which I do not use at all), so those still show the ReversalBug (Firmware flashed to 1.42).

I do not know about ReversalBug (throttle, pedals, trims) in recent versions of the G940 (and please, before anyone claims that it is not there, research thoroughly what it is and how it is detected), but I read of throttle R1 and R2 spikes (broken cable within throttle, pictures here) sometimes here and there.

However, modded the G940 is a charm. Well constructed, very solid, and I wouldn't do without the Forcefeedback for the world.

I really like my G940, I would say all the spiking issues are only to do with wires breaking, the wires are quite stiff and dont seem to like being bent and moved around in the parts of the unit that move, I have done extensive re wiring and fixing and it works like a charm now, and it's the only hotas system with FF.
