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

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!

Well, I'm not too bothered about toebrakes - don't see the use for IL-2, and I don't play civilian sims. Besides, my favourite aircraft is the Spit and the Spit's brakes were on the control column anyway. I just got the vario/proUSBs since they're on offer for 138€. Just ordered them now, in fact.

Do they make a left-handed version?

Does anyone mod this kit to fit leftys yet?

If not, I'll stick with my tried and true 6 year old HOTAS. Everyone knows I'm a CH diehard. I am so because I've tried everything available and always came back to CH for various reasons. I had a Cougar, Saitek X36 and X45 (sorry, after those two, I couldn't bring myself to try an X52), MSFF2 (I actually had two of these) and several CH sticks. Even my first CH Flightstick (the old two button version!) still works on an older pc that still has a gameport.

No, I love my controllers as much because I'm used to them as because they're functional and precise everytime I use them.

When I saw Logitech was putting this product out, I really, really wanted for it to be great stuff. Hell, maybe it is I don't know myself yet. I DO know many of my friends can't plunk down the $700 to get the same setup I use and I would love to be able to recommend a very good alternative. Maybe the Logitech is it. I simply can't, in clear conscience, do that right now thanks to their crap track record on durability and customer service.

There are things that I like and things I don't like about my own controllers and there are things I like and don't like about the Logitech kit based on reviews, but it still looks better than anything Saitek offers (albeit with an accompanying price point).

If you have it and like it, great. I really am happy for you. I hope it holds up (looks like it should) and will be interested in hearing the myriad reviews this time next year...while I'm still flying with my then 7 year old controllers.

They don't build planes for lefties either




sorry, couldn't help it!

I'm left-handed, and I don't have any problem at all with joystick.

Thing is, I learned to do it with the right hand (same for gutar, but this is totally OT ) It's just more practical, anyway.

And, as they said, ever say an aircraft made for left handed ?
