AFAIK the G940 uses Hall sensors, not pots.

Oh, this is getting more and more promising...why doesn't money fall from the skies again? :D

I have a logitec FFB stick had to stop using it, it would need calibrating every time you used it.
When it did work the feedback was fun,it was a shame about calibration issues.

If you are talking about the old Force 3Dpro, that one is a rumble stick, not true FFB....
Huge difference between that one, and the 940...

Couple things I've noticed after actually spending some serious time playing with the 940..
Pedals are too damn narrow, killin my knees... But my Motocross knee braces help....
Have to increase the deadband for pitch and roll, just a little, because the FFB will trip off the auto takeoff/level/climb..
Too much travel in the trigger (for me), overall, and between the first and second switch trip points..

How close together are the pedals?  With my current Logitech pedals they are about 2 big toe widths apart, any closer and I can see why it'd be painful.  Would hate to buy this sometime (when price drops) and not be able to use the new pedals.

I dont think Ive ever heard anyone use "big toe width" as a reference for measuring before......... how would that convert to say a gnats arse or a hoot and hollar?

is this a standard big toe?  it might make a difference if you were Shaq or WeeMan

I don't keep a ruler handy, so I use the only thing I got! :lol

Maybe about 2-2.5" between pedals.  For you literalists.

I'm surprised to see this since I use zero deadband and have no issues with autotrim.

Its a tad over 4 1/2 inches between the inside edge of the pedal buckets.. Too narrow for me!!!
I'd really like a set with about 16 inch pedal separation...

But, you know the old saying.. Wish in one hand, **** in the other, see which gets full first!!!

The G940 pedals are 14.25 inches from outside edge to edge. CH Pro pedals are 12.25.  2 inches wider.

Thanks for the sizes, much larger then the current set of pedals I use.  These pedals are about 6-8" edge to edge, and 1.5-2" inside to inside.  Didn't realize these were so small compared to actual (game) rudder pedals. :)

Fls, you're making it so that I may need to buy one of these come Christmas.  I've been trying to hold out, but I'm too drawn by the force feedback...  Trying to stay strong though.

The Force is strong in this one Madda. IMO it has no competition.

RC are you using spring centering?

Nope!!  That might be the diff with the autopilot thing...

When I first enter the cockpit, engine off, the stick is a little bit forward, (elevators drooping)... But when I start the engine, I can feel the airflow on the elevator, (stick moves back)...
As I start the take off roll, the stick moves as the air starts to "tell" on the control surfaces, which moves the stick... Hence, clicks off the autotakeoff... Makes sense actually!!!

Thats one of the things I like MOST about it... Once I got used to it...

I don't use spring centering or auto takeoff, no idea why we're seeing a difference. Auto level, climb, and speed don't trip off for me. If I take off hands off the stick I see no stick movement.

If you let go of the stick for auto takeoff the optical sensor will turn the stick off and you can use it with no deadband.
