guod Custodian SimHQ Lifer Registered: 09/29/00 Posts: 11306 Loc: 11th floor, corner office	Originally Posted By: Grim_Death The article compared the G940 to the X52. What I'd really like to see is a UNBIASED comparison with the Cougar and the CH products HOTAS. Mainly what I'd like to know is the software programing functionality of the G940. I've owned a Cougar and the software was top-notch in customization. I've done research and the CH products HOTAS meets or beats what can be done on the software side of things. Again, I'd like to know what the G940 brings to the table in this aspect. There are many like me that just don't plug in a HOTAS and fiddle in the in-game configuration screen and go. Hi Grim, I suggested Beach park whatever other HOTAS systems he had next to the G940 for size comparisons sake. If Chris had a Cougar and/or CH HOTAS they would have sat on the other side in the photos. Not in any way are we trying to compare hardware-to-hardware functionality in an introduction review. That also explains why there are no Saitek pedals in the images. Yes, Chris mentioned a couple of things he still likes about his Saitek, but it was just that, a couple of comments. As Joe said, his article will show more what you are asking about. _________________________ guod@simhq [dot] com www.twitter.com/SimHQ www.youtube.com/SimHQcom www.livestream.com/SimHQ "You're crazy.

Any here who got it had any issues with that? Like getting it detected properly, and such?

Dozer_EAF(T) SimHQ Member Registered: 03/08/03 Posts: 1108 Loc: UK	The software makes a reference to "Left Toe Break" and "Right Toe Break". Are the ergonomics really bad then?? http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/images/technology_155a_004.gif :-P I've got a very serviceable set of Saitek pedals, and a CH USB yoke which is rapidly approaching 'dilapidated' status and reached 'not ideal for small military aircraft' status years ago. The G940 stick looks really useful but I'd like to buy the stick and throttle without the rudder for a lower price, and use the Saitek pedals. Looks like that's not possible though... The pedals aren't force feedback too are they? _________________________ Dozer European Air Force trainee since 1841 "Other than that if you think Tempest is not manouverable in-game, then I suggest a fix - don't be a cheap bast*rd and go buy a joystick" - Brain32
