Stick I can live with as I still have my CH...

well, maybe I am some lucky user - but nothing is screwed up with my G940. I fly Il-2 4.10, FC2, Black SHark without any rudder/throttle problems.

I also dont have any issue, just they could work better. But now they work great!

The stick does not move as smoothly as a MSFF2 with an annoying tendency for reistance to rise and then suddenly fall, as though the mechanism had some tiny foreign objects stuck in it. This can make precise control difficult.

from my point of view with the new beta firmware the stick is very precise.

All axis of the stick except x/y still have the reversal glitch. Precise when moving in one direction, if direction is reversed, there is a gap of around 3%.
e.g.
Moving up from 30 to 31% is precise, moving down from 31% firstly nothing happens then a jump to 28% is made.

This i a major glitch when trying to control 2 motors independendly or if trying to find correct trim settings of rudder etc.

Up to now to solutions to solve it:
Use of MikkOwl Multithrottel Tool
Modding the G940 with e.g. Bu368 Joystick Chipset.

hmm for that amount of cash I would not expect to start modding it directly from the box... if there is such a gap still, I think I just have to pass for the time beeing...

a 3% jump is definitely no "major" glitch, more a minor glitch and shurely less than the mechanical linkage in RL had!!!
I've read many reports where bomber pilots told that they fiddeled quite a time to synchronize the engines.
On the other side the german bomber pilots during the BoB intentionally desynchronized their engines to add some difficulty for the acoustic direction finding attempts of the brits.

here you go, this is the issue I have on my throttle. throw all the video i only move the thortles, look how all the other axis just dance around. there is even a bit where i only move 1 throtle and the other has a spike too.


cheers

the new firmware and driver update didn't work for you?

I just tested it, doesn't happen with my stick. I've heard that some units may have cables stuck in the throttle, so when you move it it creates the spikes.

I had exactly this error on my G940, the right throttle messed up R1 and R2 (mine was bought 1.5 years ago on the release day so version 1.000 I guess?). Just today I got my substitution unit from Logitech support and it does not have the problem at all. Their support where awesome actually. As a compensation for my problems I got a rebate of 50% to buy whatever I wanted from their web shop. Really boring that I had got the G27 wheel for Christmas as the rebate would have been great there as it's rather pricey Instead I got myself a G510 to substitute my old G15 for half the price...

EDIT: After the fw 1.42 the joystick feels more precise, I have never noticed the reversal bug on my throttle or pedals that feel fine to me...
