G940: Not sure if I am experiencing the "Reversal Bug"

[cesthree]

Using Logitech 5.09 and updated to 1.42 Firmware

 

My main issue is with the throttle. I have opened the "axes graphs" by using Right CTRL + Enter.

 

Watching the throttle graph:

 

1) As I move the throttle forward the throttle indicator "slider" in the "axes graphs" doesn't begin to move until about 40-50% range. From there it follows all the way to 100%.

 

2)When moving the throttle back the "slider" seems to follow on a 1:1 movement with the actual throttle handle.

 

3)If I reverse from there it's the same as #1 unless I haven't traveled past the 50% point.

 

Is this the same as the "reversal bug"?

 

Other than that I am still learning how to setup the Logitech Profiler (must use persistent profile....sigh) and everything else seems to work fine for me.

 

Wish I had never bought this HOTAS. What's worse is it has sat in my closet for over a year without me being able to use it due to stupid life problems. Brand new. I've lost more. Probably won't trust Logitech for some time as far as game controllers go.

 

Anyways. Hopefully a 3rd firmware update might fix this? I'm going to try out some other simulators tomorrow to see if they have the same behaviors.

 

Thanks for any help. I've searched and searched and searched these forums for an accurate, collaborated, coherent description of the reversal bug; I can't seem to find one that gives me a definitive answer.

 

Peace!

No thats not the reversal bug. Sounds like you have more than one axis assigned to throttle, check you're ingame assignments to make sure that another axis isn't assigned to the throttle aswell. :joystick:

Let me guess, you're doing this in a ka-50 that hasn't been started yet? If so, start it first.

HAHAHAAAAHAAHHHAAHAAAHA!

 

Yes. Haven't started yet!

 

Thanks so much. I so overanalized my controller before even trying to fly with it. She flies beautifully.

 

Thanks!

Also, I love your signature.

 

I've got 99 problems but my Ekran ain't one

 

:lol:

You're welcome. I had the problem last year and I thought my G940 was broken and I wanted to return it, but then I discovered it only showed that behaviour when all the systems were still off.

 

And most people don't get my signature, but luckily some do :D

Its very strange how some people here and other review places like amazon or newegg has not even a hint of the reversal bug or spike problems. some do and there are reasons for it in the thottle like cables being too tight. Best to read up here too.
