Logitech G940 need help :)

[Daliaraptor]

Hello Varrattu

Thanks for your effort.
Ive already read those threads. But those threats doesent fit to my question.
I want to find out, if its may a technical malfunction of my stick.
Some people written that the stick is very smooth, not for me.
To check what i mean, just move the stick on the desktop, the feeling is like pulling a handbreak of a car not that dramatic but there are few resistance points which prevent a smooth motion.
I want to find out, whether my G940 is broken.

Thanks anyway

I just tested what you described with mine, and yes: If I feel very attentively, I can 'feel' what you're talking about - most pronounced when no flight sim is running. I fired up IL-2 and could feel it there, too - but much less pronounced. However, it does not interfere with my steering or aiming, the 'notches' seem not to translate into the sim...

... but the ReversalBug once did. Could it be that your' stick's firmware is not updated to G940 firmware 1.42 (see Verratu's link)? I doubt it, but if so, that may possibly explain part of this symptom.

Probably not - except these notches are *really* pronounced.

hum, beeing an owner of this wondeful stick, I think it's not broken or whatever it may be. I think the huge resistance you encounter may be due to the forcefeedback setting being too high, you should check the "centering" option.

and about the resistance peaking, it may be due to the gearing. I experienced the same feeling with the MS Forcefeedback2, and it was more present on this stick than on the logitech. so maybe you could drop down the ffb setting a bit, it should partially resolve your problem but not completely in my opinion

Yes, probably: I played a bit around with it and noticed that these 'notches' are the more pronounced, the higher the "spring effect" setting is. With Verratu's 50% (combined with "overal effects" at 100%, naturally) almost completely gone, with 100% rather pronounced...

Thanks guys.
So its "normal" as it is, i guess.
I reduced the force settings and indeed these notches are almost gone.
But then you can feel how spartanic the ffb model in clod is, compared to rof.
Hope they will improve some ffb effects in the final patch.

Thanks a lot.

All the best...
