Looks sharp. I'll have to see how people respond to this offering. I do like that it appears you can bolt it down (holes on the side of the base).

Looks nice. But really:

"The Logitech Flight System G940 will land in Europe this September, with an MRSP of £279 ($457) plus VAT. It’ll launch at the same time in the US, priced at $299.99"

Rip off the europeans! A 50% price increase +VAT!!

One more thing, It should have a long stick (one can dream anyway).
Oh, oh, oh (jumps up and down) and an analog thumb stick would be nice too.

You European guys should be used to getting ripped off with all the taxes for a long time now...come on don't Levis jeans cost you over 100 Euros a pair for the cast off ones from here in the States???

Just kidding but surely if you order from the US or Canada would you still have to pay the VAT fees?

Here is a video that was posted on another board this morning.

Link to video from Logitech.

I don't know about VAT, my guess is that you don't; however, if that is the case, you'd have to pay it in the country you live in. And, to top that off, you'd also be obliged to pay customs fees for importing it, and that can be quite costly.

So, yeah, us Europeans are quite used to getting ripped.

That looks pretty slick. Logitech has made some good controllers lately, what with the G25 and all. This should be good smile

Wow. I sincerely hope that works as good as it looks.

Lets hope it gives CH a boot up the backside to come up with an FFB HOTAS.

You think you are ripped ? do you know how much this will cost here !? lets try the x-52 at around 150 usd, here it costs 1600 reais (830,52 usd) !!! so by all means, this will be more then the triple around here 3.200 reais (1.500 usd)
