Title: Good new for G940 owners!
Post by: Tigger29 on November 03, 2010, 02:25:56 PM
Logitech finally fessed up that they ARE IN FACT AWARE of the reversal bug with the G940 Flight System, and an engineering team has been assigned to work on a fix!

While I'm still in "I'll believe it when I see it" mode, it's nice to know that they've finally dug their heads out of the sand and decided that this is an important task that needs to be done.

You can read about it on the Logitech Forums HERE (http://forums.logitech.com/t5/PC-Gaming/G940-quot-reversal-bug-quot-is-it-a-hardware-or-software-problem/td-p/445318/page/3)

Nice to hear that.  Now that they confirm the reports I guess my G940 will develop that problem.  I hope they can fix it before my system knows it has it.

Wagger, it's not a matter of it developing the problem, it's a matter of you just not noticing it yet!

I've already been cussed out (jokingly) by people who claim that the problem doesn't exist, but realized that it does in fact exist when they dug into it a bit.  It's one of those things that once you notice it, it will drive you bonkers!  You know, like seeing a disturbing image.. you can't un-see it!

Anyway, for that reason I would recommend you not pay any attention to all of this!

Not trying to put you down or make fun of you.  Just joking around.  I have not noticed it but do not doubt it because of all I have read.  I just don't want to worry about it until they have a fix.

If they fix this, I might get it.

Early rudder spiking still an issue?

Early rudder spiking still an issue?

I don't know.. I've never had a problem with that.

I think a lot of people confuse the rudders' "auto calibration" feature with spiking.  You're supposed to sweep them through their full range of motion after booting up your computer before taking off.  If you don't they'll do goofy things that could be considered spiking, etc... until you do sweep them full.  It's a mild annoyance, but nice to know they are calibrated without having to go through all the menus, etc...

If anything else, Logitech could have done a better job at documenting this...
