Logitech G940 Problem

[0ds01]

i have finally calibrated the throttle , when you install logitech g940 drivers, when the setup is finished and askes you to calibrate joystick and throttle , at the throttle calibration windows , hold both throttles with your hand at the 0 , make sure when clicking next , the throttle doesn't move up on the calibration window, next logitech throttle properties , click settings , Hysteresis... Left throttle i set it at 21 and Right Throttle at 21 , this worked for me great at FSX

[0ds01]

it doesnt work for me on fsx, i set Null zone to 0 and Sensitivity at the highest , but the throttle when in airplane it stays at 10% or something like that, i have g940 too, and so far don't like it so much it needs a lot of configuration before flying a sim

[3snowyman]

@0ds01 Don't worry about it staying at 10%. That's a normal idle percentage on aircraft. The only way you will get to 0% throttle is if you turn the engines off. As long as you can get to 100% throttle, you should be ok.

[0ds01]

@3snowyman

i don't know i have tried a lot of things in fsx but i can not get it work properly , any time i taxi i have to hold both throttles with my hand at the end so my plane doesn't go any faster, thanks for the quick answer :)

[jasper18OfpFreak]

HELP i lost my cd and i dont know what to do nou!!

HELP ik ben mijn cd verlooren en ik weet niet wat ik nu moet doen!!

[3snowyman]

@jasper18OfpFreak The CD for Logitech? I am not sure if it is needed to run the G940. I don't remember though.

[0ds01]

@jasper18OfpFreak

go to logitech and download drivers for your g940

[apoc505]

take off the dead zone and sensitivity to full

[McBlemmen]

did you fix it? lmao

[TheWowfreaken]

I have the same problem how do i fix it?

[3snowyman]

@TheWowfreaken In FSX, go to settings, controls, select throttle, and adjust the null zones and sensitivity. PM me if you need more details, I'm not at my FSX computer right now, so I'm not exactly sure where everything is.

[TheWowfreaken]

@3snowyman But what do i have to adjust it too?

[3snowyman]

@TheWowfreaken For the throttle, Null zones should be at 0, and Sensitivity should be at its highest. It's like 128 or something like that. Don't use these settings for the rudder pedals or joystick though, they have different null zones and sensitivity.

[bielzanardo]

you can fix that on the controls settings

[Axmedkoole]

Does the joystick actually viporate?

[3snowyman]

@Axmedkoole Yes.  If you stall, it is the stick shaker, and if you crash, it rattles around like crazy

[Axmedkoole]

@3snowyman, how about during turbullances?

[3snowyman]

@Axmedkoole It won't actually shake the joystick. But you will feel pressure pushing your hand, depending on how much turbulence there is.

[DTl315]

I have tried using the keyboard as well and I still get the same problem

[DTl315]

I also have a throttle problem. Whenever I begin a free flight the throttles are at full power and I can't slow them down the plane usually then goes out of control and crashes can anyone help?

[3snowyman]

@DTl315 Try adjusting the throttle's sensitivity and null zones.

[Vammasman]

This is lame. Why this vid is still on the youtube if you got solved the problem?

[3snowyman]

@Vammasman It is still on youtube just incase other people have the same problem I have and would like help getting it solved.

[Vammasman]

@3snowyman Oh nicely thinked! 

[asif555b]

how to put reverse thrust??

[muzeklijstje]

@asif555b assign a button for it u cant do it with the throttle

[marchewo123]

@asif555b press and hold F2

[asif555b]

@marchewo123 that sucks mannn!!!!...

looks like i expectated a lot form G940...

[lafe005]

attttchhhouuummmm... LOL

[bibonash1]

Plane 9

[tdragon360]

to me it looks like it is uncalibrated, but idk never used flight controllers just console contollers and the g27

[MrGadgetolic]

Does this Logitech G940 works also with Windows 7 64bit?

[vadseth11]

eough :(

[NikitaPilotMen]

Do your lights change when you press the button on the throttle. Mine don't do that... I can't change the color of lights. And I have the same problem as you had... can you help me??? I use FS9

[giuchin]

@NikitaPilotMen It doesn't change colors on yours because you have set it up with flight simulator instead of ht profiler... I did that too

[3snowyman]

@giuchin Wait. Do yours change color. If so, can you tell me in more detail? thanks

[NikitaPilotMen]

@giuchin My system is configured through the simulator and it keeps the same colors, never change...

[giuchin]

@NikitaPilotMen Mine too, you have to set it up through the software that came with the logitech for it to change colors

[RogueBrit]

@giuchin You cant change the colours yet

[giuchin]

@RogueBrit You can change teh colors it you set it up through logitech profiler

[astrofly]

So what do you think of this G940 HOTAS and pedals with the newest firmware? Do you recommend it? Do you have that problem with the throttle output jumping around a bit when you reverse its direction?

[3snowyman]

@astrofly Personally, I strongly recommend this product to anyone who wants to bring their flying experience to the extreme. The G940 makes everything so much more realistic. I don't have the problem you brought up. The only problem I had and is now fixed is the one shown in the video.

[FSProduction154]

@3snowyman go to settings, controll, nd make sure the throttle is set correctly to the throttle controll

[splashjump]

what about the last one (range)? 100 or 0?

[3snowyman]

@splashjump I'll have to check. You are looking at the FSX controller settings right?

[splashjump]

@splashjump no, on the Launch Gaming Software Profiler....

[3snowyman]

@splashjump I did not do anything on the Logitech profiler. All I did was go into FSX controller settings and set sensitivity and null zone settings in FSX. I would reset everything you did in the profiler and go into the FSX settings.

[splashjump]

Just on more thing: which sensitivity should I use? I have used 50, 100, 75 and 60. (60 worked best) But i'm playing Microsoft Flight Sim. X Gold Edition and i'm flying F-18, but on higher then 60, the throttle on the game go back to the start, and on 50 I don't get the afterburner on :(. Think you got a solution... :P

[3snowyman]

@splashjump On the throttle, I have no problem using full sensitivity and 0 null zone. I use the F-18 all the time on FSX and don't find any problems.

[splashjump]

how do you get the P1 and P2 (and all up to P8) to light red...? my do only light green, what do i have to do?

[3snowyman]

@splashjump I have the same problem. I contacted Logitech and they couldn't figure out how to fix it either. They said it might be my product and offered me another G940 but I didn't want to go through the trouble.

[NikitaPilotMen]

@splashjump I have the same problem as you.. ;)

[talezshin]

Ah, that problem existed on my Driving Force Pro. Its gas pedal had similar problem (cannot reach 100% and fluctuates.) I've managed to change axis setting to solve the problem. It worked for a short period but the fluctuation range varied by time. So, I had to adjust settings again again.... Finally, I took apart the pedal component and reinforced the variable resistor part with vinyl tape. It went quite good but why should a customer open the product after 6 months! I hope yours come out well.

[sibaja882005]

calibraloooo estupido

[rsambora101]

now i've manage to get the throttle under control but this time the brake sign on the bottom left corner shows up even without me even pressing the brake

[3snowyman]

@rsambora101 I think to fix the brake, you put Sensitivity all the way up. I'm not sure about the null zone though...first try null zone at 20 and if that doesn't work, put it all the way down. Hope this helps.

[rsambora101]

hi there, just got my g940, i tried doing a quick test by using free flight mode(FS X), then when the cockpit view shows up, I push down the throttle to its maximum but it doesn't effect anything instead without me even pushing the throttle down from the beginning it increases the power itself so i had to decrease the throttle not using the throttle device. thanks, any sugestions?

[NikitaPilotMen]

How did you fixed that??? I have FS2004 and the same problem. At the beginning I hadn't, but know it´s more complicated. Can you post a video showing of how did you fixed that?

[NikitaPilotMen]

One question. The throttle has the reverse thrust?

[3snowyman]

@NikitaPilotMen No. I don't believe that is possible

[rocketdog2116]

I had a problem like this but fixed it it is a sensitivity issue. My throttles when lined up and set to work tougher don't have equal power. Also full power for me is when the throttles are at 85% on my actual unit. Also I can't run multiple engines on a throttle thus limiting me to a 2 engine plane.

[H3A2T]

Using N1 90-95 is the best for take offs depending on payload. Low payload=90 and full payload=95. You should NEVER use full thottle as it can damage the engines.

[3snowyman]

@skaterkiviman Go into your fsx settings and make the rudder control's null zone 20. and sensitivity has to be full. try that and it should work

[Iconic80]

Thanks for the tip! Worked like a charm. Having the same problem with my elevator trim. What settings do you recommend for that?

[Iconic80]

Driving me crazy! Any luck? I can't get my throttle above 75% max and 30% idle. What, if anything, can I do?

[3snowyman]

@Iconic80 just go into your flight simulator settings, controls, and joystick i think. then from the drop down menu, select throttle. and somewhere on that screen, there is a sensitivity and null zone bar. you might have to select advance settings to see these bars. push the null zone bar to 20 and the sensitivity bar to full. it should work. tell me if you find any problems

[sonnyman2000]

when i first got this i had the same problem but then i calebrated it and problem solved

[robot014]

i tried to put some links here but the tube does not aaouw it..

but on the internet there is lots of solutions ...use ure search engine

[tek5828]

YES. Its called SENSITIVITY and DEADZONE:

~IN FSX SETTINGS~

Put Dead zone at 0

Put sensitively at 100%

if that doesnt do it:

1) Change axis properties in the  logitech profiler (settings, as in sensitivity)

2) There is a problem (unlikely)

[ggiarda]

First of all just take a look at the "dead zone" and "sensibility" of your control configuration, probably the first is too high...

[Bader88]

hi Sir can you share how you fixed the problem cause i am getting the same and i might return the product thanks

[3snowyman]

@Bader88 ok...have you tried to fix the problem?  if so, what have you done?

[geover330]

when i move the throttle on fsx, in all planes, it only goes idle and full throttle. this means that wherever the throttle is in my hand, it does not effect the game. it goes only to the average, whether its close to full or idle :S. any advice?

[KyleLee408]

Might fix: Put you're throttle to idle, and on the PC part of the throttle, try push you're throttles all the way to idle, it might, and might not work.

Problem might have started if you left a game, and came back with your throttle set to something near to idle, that might have messed something up. :S

[KyleLee408]

ooohh vibrator. :)

[ryanmd11fan]

actually in real life it is almost impossible to have exact n1 percentage

[ToInfinity1]

why don't you fly a pmdg with all these pro gaming stuffs??

[3snowyman]

@ToInfinity1 i do have some pmdg planes. i just didn't use it for this video

[TheSeafreak]

yes. i have done it in FSX and Logitech gaming software as well. still the same issue. Thanks for your reply bro.

[TheSeafreak]

Hi Friend. I just bought the set and having the same problem. i have tried your settings but no luck. can you help me.

[3snowyman]

@TheSeafreak did you set the null zone 0 and sensitivity highest in FSX or the logitech profiler?

[DrPilotRedC]

On a real 737 you only apply 94% power. 

[3snowyman]

@DrPilotRedC this was actually a 757. and this video was just supposed to show the game's response to the throttle at 100%

[KustomCompBuilder]

is there a way to turn off force feedback?

[3snowyman]

@KustomCompBuilder ya i think so. go into your fsx settings and it probably is under controls. i think i have seen it before

[KustomCompBuilder]

@KustomCompBuilder if you have a chance could you check it for me & make sure thats what it does before i spend $300

[HARDMID]

парень, да ты просто разъебал свой джой по ходу....

[oneflyline96]

Ive not had these issues, in flight sim x my unit always shows 100% when throttle is all the way forward and is even.Could it be just some units?

[supramk3killen]

This joystick sucks... I have one and i have alot of problems with it cant recommend this stick to anyone. It is a piece of crap......

[supramk3killen]

[Phelt54]

I was an F-16 aircraft mechanic in the Air Force for seven years, so I know what I'm talking about. The reason the joystick shakes is because you're putting the aircraft into an overspeed situation. The hull of the aircraft is under a lot of stress and a lot of turbulance in being created in an overspeed situation.

[Phelt54]

@Phelt54 At full throttle the aircraft will also naturally climb, that is why the joystick pushes back. The aircraft is in the air and gravity is working against the engines efforts, so 100% engine speed might not be attainable while in flight.

[Phelt54]

@Phelt54 Full throttle on the ground should produce 100% engine speed, but once the weight is off the wheels and the craft is in flight gravity is working against the craft. The reson the engine speed doesn't drop to 30% in flight might be because the airspeed of the craft is helping the engine turbines spin at idle.

[WwTKVwW]

Hey dude, how did you fix it?? I have the same problem

[3snowyman]

@WwTKVwW ok. first, go to settings in fsx. then, go to controls -> calibration -> advanced controls (also might be advanced settings) -> choose throttle from the drop-down menu -> set null zone to 0 -> set sensitivity to highest. it should fix it. if it doesn't tell me

[TheGreatFlyer]

@3snowyman

Hey I had the same problem with my Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrants which should both be a 4 engine throttle quadrant, and I did exactly the same thing to fix it! I was so worried it wasn't working correctly!...

[HEAVYGUNZ05]

@3snowyman I did the same thing you said to do and Im not getting nothing from the throttle at all

[Jadenbo]

Sensitivity

[Intelpentium54321]

man if you can get those pedals then you should def get a better plane..

[simflyer97]

Yeah neither am I but I tried it

I found something to tinker with

I usually use slew on approach just to hurry it up

[simflyer97]

Do you wait for it to respond, because it happens to me sometimes and I just wait it out.

[3snowyman]

i might try tht. i am not the kind of person who likes to wait for long periods of time doing nothing though. :-)

[simflyer97]

Hey 3snowyman do you have any idea what is wrong with fsx

Will it not start up

Will it crash

What does it do. I might be able to help.

[3snowyman]

fsx crashes. i have reinstalled twice. the problem starts when i try to choose the plane. fsx becomes unresponsive and i have to force quit

[Uzeyir462]

Hello friend, I am a beginner in Flight Simulator. I use Flight Simulator X. I just want to ask you can I use Logitech G940 with Flight Simulator X? Thanks...

[3snowyman]

yes. that is the program i am using currently. i made this video before i solved the problem but it's all good now. thx

[EstebanCRC]

Dud read the instructions... it´s all there!

[merkavas]

configuration/controls/dead point to LOGITECHG940 Throttle/: dead point in engine 1 reduce dead zone

repeat in engine 2

i my problem over.

[ydyammo]

There are still two major issues that Logitech to my knowledge HAS aknowledged...

1: Inaccurate/ insensitive analogues

Stick, Throttle and rotators only respond in descrete increments of 2-5... Meaning it's all but impossible to aquire a specific number like say "90%".

2: Loose/sloppy stick

The centre 25% of the stick does not have ANY "return-to-center"-force. Not with FFB, nor with the legacy spring-emulation"

If you have the ladder,(ie #2), problem do contact Logitech as soon as possible!

[3snowyman]

yes.  #1 is kind of annoying but apparently cannot be fixed at this point and #2 is not a problem for me. thanks!

[SandburgSpartans]

have u tried calibrating it? That's what happened to me and calibrating it fixed it.

[3snowyman]

thanks but i fixed it. and it was a calibration problem but also the settings in my fsx had the throttle settings for elevator for some reason. logitech has to fix the downloading tool profiler.

[Luchinho3]

As far I see, seems a problem with some gauge that you have installed on your fsx/fs9 patch, try to reinstall and could be done and work properly.

[3snowyman]

it wasn't the guage it was the joystick settings in the fsx settings. i fixed it though.

[theREALpianoman0615]

o and wat plane is that? is it on fsx? i no its not a default...

[3snowyman]

this is fsx and the plane is a us airways 757 from simviation

[theREALpianoman0615]

i read b4 that you have to set the sensitivity on the throttle to full or 100%, and i am pretty sure that will solve ur problem. hope this helps!

haha i was really hoping 2 get this 4 christmas but i didnt. but i did get the trackir 4 pro instead

[3snowyman]

yes i have fixed it. i saw it on the logitech forums and read through it and found the solution that you said. thanks!
