Test: Einzeltest: Logitech Flight System G940
Zitat: Good Points: + Force feedback modeling.
+ A ton of axes to map.
+ Programming software.
+ Future support for the lighted condition buttons on the throttle base.
Could Be Improved: - I’d like a slightly more contoured throttle.
- The ability to adjust the distance between the rudder pedals would be nice.
- Toggle switches more closely replicating flap/gear handles on the base of the unit.
- Detents for finding the center of all of the trim wheels.
Overall I was very impressed with the G940. The construction seems top notch, the drivers and support are already good but will likely improve as more units hit the market. The suggested retail price is worth mentioning since this piece of kit will set you back around $300, but that seems in-line with a quality product that offers features we’ve all been wishing for. The Saitek X52 Pro may come in a bit cheaper, but it doesn’t include rudder pedals or force feedback. There are still some things I still like better about my X52 such as the contoured throttle and even the gimmicky blue lighting, but once you’ve felt the rumble of a stall or pounding of a canon through the G940 it will be difficult to look at the X52 the same again. I think flight sim enthusiasts will embrace the G940 and hopefully Logitech will see fit to improve upon it and continue to pursue the HOTAS market.
