Thanks Abburo.

 

I will clear all the assignments first and start over.

Then fingers crossed can report back with some good news.

 

When you initially set yours up did it automatically select joystick_slider as the collective axis? (under sim mode)

 

Strangely under game mode mine detected the correct z_axis.

 

Which has just given me a thought, I will only operate under sim mode, so I'm thinking of only re-doing the assignments for sim and leaving game blank.???

 

Thanks for taking the time to help mate...much appreciated.

I think that I went yesterday into the same issue like you, but in my case I was in a modding process so I could identify and fix the problem right away.

 

First, I will briefly explain my work. I added an extra LeoBodnar interface in order to have some more physical buttons/encoders/axes while I also replace the pedals and throttle axes to it. So, the 3 pedals axes and the 2 main throttle axes are now linked to the new controller instead of G940. To achieve this I just disconect the 2 throttle main pots from the G940 throttle controller and link them to the other device. Then, the problem as you described suddenly appear.In the begining I did not understood what happens, I just saw that other axis are moving while I was using the R2 rotary on throttle. This R2 rotary remains connected to the G940 throtle controller. I was testing the device with DlView (can be downloaded from here http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=12&zenid=546199fe4c602c4be720029c5eb55750) and saw that the disconected axis are activated while R2 is moving. The fix was extremly simple. Just connect 2 other pots, no matter the values, so that the controller can have some electrical resistivity not just open circuit.

 

To conclude and fix your issues, seems for me 99% sure that you are in a quite the same problem, meaning you have some broken wires into your throttle. Just open it and replace ALL internal wires. It is known that Logitech fails with G940 for this kind of simple things, using low quality wires and pots. Our luck is they are easy to be fixed.

 

It would be nice to know if that helped you.

Also connect the pedals to the Leo board. Using the connector itself pedals, simply build an adapter G940_Pedals to Leo_board.

I reset everything as you said and of course it didn't work.

I was about to give up on it.

 

This post makes a lot of sense, I will open it and redo the wires, soldering is a simple exercise for me so it holds no fears.

Now to fix my back so I can stand long enough to get the job done. I slipped a disc on Saturday. Grrr.

 

I will report back once it's done.
