That would depend on the type of connection.
I figure that the throttle's buttons would be communicated serially.
A 9 pin connector can carry +5V, gnd, 4 analog lines and have 3 pins left.
And if the axes are communicated with seperate analog lines then a simple adaptor would be easy to make.

Hi,

It is a bit busy with all the E3 follow up, but is some info on the G940.


The Dimensions of Logitech Flight System G940 are (L x W x H):
o Joystick: 228.0 x 194.0 x 247.8 millimeters
o Throttle: 228.0 x 194.0 x 183.9 millimeters
o Rudder pedals: 350.9 x 338.0 x 168.2 millimeters

Scheduled for release in September.

I will be monitoring this thread and commenting where I can add helpful information.

Thanks for the information Mark. I must say the stick and throttle look to be a bit large, while the rudder pedals look to be quite small. Neither of which is a bad thing, as long as they are ergonomic and early reports indicate they are just that.

I'm curious about thing though. The rudder pedals' height is just the support rig, without taking into account the pedals themselves no?

In any case, I'd better start saving for September smile

I wonder how easily the grip can be separated from the base... If it was easy (like the Cougar), it would make it simple to extend the stick for use in an enclosed cockpit...

The more I see of this stick the more I like it. It looks very much like it's been designed by someone who actually plays flight sims.

168 mm is to the top of the pedal from the ground. The four bar mechanism allows for a lower overall profile. Your knees will fit under a desk better that way. each pedal is 233 mm x 120 mm, 237 mm center to center width between them.

They have smile In fact, there are a significant number of simmers in the Logitech gaming team.
