Logitech G940

[georgeec]

I can not get my G940 to function correctly is there some simple way to set this up.

Your stick should work. If it is recognised by Windows and functioning within the system properties and in other games, it should work with MSFS. You just need to configure it correctly.

You should be binding to controls named things like Throttle Axis, Elevator Axis, Aileron Axis and not Throttle Increase, Throttle Decrease, Elevator Down, Elevator Up and so on.

Hey guys!

My father saw in MediaMarkt a Controller like "logitech" or something like that. I told him, that i ve never played such simulators, but there is a good one - MFS :))) he told he would like to fly with this toy :)))

My question to cimmunity: what is the best MFS-Kontroller for this day? I think i can buy for a big TV an extra X-Box, MFS and a controller, but i need to know, which one is the most realistic, is the bested optimized and so on and so forth....

Thank you all in advance:)

If you are going to play on XBox your choices are going to be slightly different. I would however suggest starting your own thread for this conversation.

You don't have your axis correctly bound. If you want me to make a video to help you I can.

That would be fantastic but seems a lot of trouble for you. Others suggest I ditch the g940 and buy a new stick. I am too old and far to involved with my g940 to start wasting more money on something I am not sure I would be comfortable with.

If you can provide a short video it would help a lot however you should realise you are talking to pretty much a dummy not a computer wizz.

I was going to but for some reason my recording software is acting up. Manwith Noname covered what I was going to show in a video. Go to Options > Control Options > (click your joystick at the top) > Filter Assigned > Flight Control Surfaces > Primary Flight Control Surfaces.

There three that should be bound are exactly called this...

- Rudder Axis
- Elevator Axis
- Ailerons Axis

Also I would recommend that you search for these names and look at each of your connected device tabs and make sure that only the 940 has these axis mapped.

Good advice having looked at this I see that on the keyboard it shows these items also, however can I delete these from the default keyboard ap or will this destroy that default set up.

[Manwith Noname]

You should create a new profile that is a copy of the default and remove whatever you want from that copy. You can do this in the control options menu via the preset manager.

[georgeec]

Thanks for that reply and your interest. I would not have thought of doing that.

Stop being a old curmudgeon and get yourself a new joystick. Live a little for cryin' out loud.

Hah! "Simple". If only...

Anyway, Youtube already got you covered :) I recently saw this about setting up a G940 in MSFS 2020:
https://youtu.be/Gk6b1qSij9U

I quite randomly chanced upon a G940 in a thrift store just a couple of days ago, and didn't quite know what I got. Turns out it's one of them there elusive FFB sticks. Unfortunately, FFB support is equally elusive...

Apparently there's a mod (not free) that adds FFB (XPForce), which also have a 10-minute demo. I tried installing that as well but I have no idea if it worked. It seems I only have a centering spring force. No different than before I installed it afaik. I probably did something wrong. Or maybe the 10-minute demo is not for MSFS 2020, idk. But I have never used a FFB stick before so I don't quite know what to look for. I only tried some casual flying in a Cessna something (default MSFS plane I guess).

Vote for it. You shouldn't have to use third party tools for FFB, among other things.

Hey guys!

U are a very bad man. Or very gud 1. PleaSe pay for muh keyboard. okey dokey.

Dude. Choosing a controller over a game?
-I bought MSFS direct from MS and had to return it because it wouldn't play on a MS PC. "Platform not found" or some crap error. That reverse purchase transaction was hell and soured me to ever doing business with MS again.
-Then I bought XP-11 but the graphics were par for OEM FSX without Ortho or addons. I returned that as well.
-Went back to Steam MSFS and although a legacy of bugs and many days of downloading it has been wonderful in the end.

I still lust after a triple screen with sliding plush racing seat setup. At the very least a dash cut off one of the USAF boneyard pickings and 8ft wraparound screen.
