Aah. It appears I had a few settings off, and now I do feel certain constant forces at various situations.

Forwarding some news from the Logitech support forums, in my own words:

• Logitech Profiler (the main drivers/software) was getting a major rewrite (6.0 - Don't remember) that has been worked on for a long time, since September we assume, 7 months. So long that the bugs of the G940 was really infuriating users, who were kept in the dark about any updates/bug fixes. Enough angry customers and probably to patch the damaged reputation of the G940 has made them divert resources for a minor (but major in importance) update, version 5.09.
• 5.09 is not far from release. Has seen limited distribution to software developers for last minute feedback.
• Focus of release is bug fixes, but not entirely.
• Profiler bug fixes are mentioned.
• Unspecified functionality bugs to be fixed (probably the reversal bug which is pretty major, and was confirmed as being worked on to fix in December 2009).
• Changes/work-arounds of force feedback implementation in third party games (that would be all games that has force feedback support I suppose?). Centering spring force is mentioned specifically. I believe it most likely to be the 'slop' issue in sims such as IL-2.
• One type of BSOD eliminated.
• New capabilities of the device will be unlocked.
• More specifics coming within a week.

Yeah, thats customer care!

"Well poor idiots, we allready got your 300€, so we don't care about you anymore"...

It is sad that a company gets away with such a behavior. I was really hoping for an update but this comment from a moderator just blew the illusion away.
