I would advice anyone thinking about buying the G940 not to do it till they have solved all the problems with it. Logitech is useless concerning the G940.

I don't have any problems at all with any axis reversal, apart from in Rise of Flight, but there's an option there, and in FSX I think to reverse direction in controls.
Maybe if you set it up i.e by pushing the stick/throttle away, you should retry set up by pulling it towards?

Cliffs of Dover and all other sims have no problems with this for me. Peculiar.

Thankyou for all your replies so far

Do you recommend setting up the logitech profiler software first ? or just configuring in the game ?
Also i know how to delete the keys in control menu not sure how to select joystick...
This seems over complicated never had any issues before on any other sim in all my years !

I set up all the in-game controls first, then went into profiler to target the executables for the games, then edited the spring tension and force feedback options for each game, because needs are very different for each game.

I think Eklund89 refers not to a problem with IL-2 CLOD specifically, but to the G940's general 'reversal bug' problem. It's hard to describe, but it mainly comes down to users experiencing large 'jumps' when they reverse the axis on their sticks. This post tries to explain it in more detail.

The latest G940 firmware-update adresses this bug, at least for the main stick's X and Y-axis. I play all my sims since without any irritations, but that's probably personal. You can find a link to it in this post from one of Logitech's employees. Note that the firmware-update is different from the (semi)regular driver-updates. The latest version of that is 5.10.

Thats correct. It is really annoying to manage proppitch with the 'reversal bug' since you never get the precision needed. The trim, i wont even bother with.

Ah, I see.

The first thing I did was download the latest software and updated the firmware as in my earlier post, so I've not seen any issues as yet.

My biggest problem is re-learning to fly with pedals and force feedback, rather than twistgrip rudder and no force-feedback, which is maybe why I've not noticed any issues as such. Loving it so far, though!

I can relate to that. When I first bought the stick, I tested it with ROF, DCS-Black Shark and FSX. Configuring both the buttons and force-feedback settings was quite some work. I don't mind it much these days now, though. Are you using the Logitech Profiler software or are you running your game without it?

Using the profiler. Don't see any other way to do it, as each game needs such very different settings.
Wish I could get it to be smoother action though, it seems a bit 'notchy' whatever I do.
