Ever since I upgraded my 940 to firmware 1.42, force feedback in IL2 was absolutely borked! No matter what I did the stick stayed rock hard. I also had problems with spiking and had the unit replaced once. In the end I sold it and bought myself a Warthog. Couldn't be happier.

I opened up mine this week to check for chord tension etc. I don't think I have ever seen worse quality. It just stinks cheap china crap all over. Un-"bolting" the guide didn't solve anything, the problem is probably chafing wires in on of the throttle handles. Need to open moar.

Anyone tried the Warthog? I want that HOTAS. Shame it doesn't have FFB though.

I thought so too. Firmware 1.42 killed it! No matter what I changed in the logitech software all forces in both x and y didn't change...in the end I unplugged the power supply to the stick.

Hello Phill.

I felt the same with Wings od Prey after firmware update. Dont worry. All you need to do is following:
Go to Logitech profiler > options > Global Profiler Settings > choose "Apply Persistent profile"
Configure that profile under > Options > Global Device settings.
My recomendations are:
Overall 110
Spring 45
Damper 30
Centering spring Unchecked. (You can check centering spring and set to 0% which add some friction without add centering spring)
Do the same for > Edit > Specific Game Settings
In game use approx middle strenght for FFB (40-50%)
Half of thoose steps are not important, but you need to be sure your changes do the job in game. I archieved even beter FFB feelings with Wings of Prey for now and for example DCS A10-C is simply stunning, even with latest patch.
It's possible that all people claiming strong FFB with constant force after FW 1.41 (1.42) didnt get into this point at all :/
Hope it helps.

EDIT: I can see you do not have G940 anymore But nevermind, could be handy for someone else at least I hope

Thanks but no thanks. I sold the unit on ebay (got back what I paid) and purchased a warthog.....much, much better!
