New Logitech Flight System G940 - Flight Simulation Controller

[Angerfist2]

geek alert

[samsizil]

what game is that?

[slugggg513]

Overkilllllllll

[fallenangei]

This is totally overkill for BF3... Maybe if you were playing DCS A10C or Cliffs of Dover.

BF3 doesn't need more than a $20 gamepad let alone a $300 flying rig.

[DontClickMyChannel13]

it ses its not mac compatible but what if ur running windows from bootcamp

[ghost909090]

this will work on bf 3

[evgeshatm]

Мягкая посадка)

[ht448]

dude you need three screens then you would be full pilot Skills :D

[ballsthatclank]

This looks boss, I am thinking about getting it for Battlefield 3. Looks kinda complex though compared to a simple joystick.

[ra30r]

@ballsthatclank im going to shop right now to get it and try in on BF3.

i know i good shop, can get it for 3 day for free \0/

[ogabogapat]

@ballsthatclank for sure overkill for BF3 as it isn't even a flight sim, try something like a dcs game or arma for actual use of this

[ManRupununi]

i love the little baby dare

[mrspaztoid]

what simulator are you running?

[Shortyguy94]

game?



[killmachine234]

@Shortyguy94 Lockon: Flaming Cliffs 2

[SourNaik]

we got top gun in the house!!

[fsx767]

I already have the 3D Xtreme Pro and I LOVE it!

It seems like the G940 system is a bit like the sidestick of an airbus, which is just what I am looking for. It looks like it would be perfect for those turbulent and windy landings because of the stellar feedback the joystick gives (vibrations, etc.)

[ANLQ84]

you should get a TrackIR, or at least a Freetrack.

[HEAVYGUNZ05]

How did you get the full throttle to work right help me please just got the system today july 17th 2011

[shodanxx]

why isn't the camera locked in with the jet when you are view from outside

you don't get a feel of the movement of the plane at all

[barnsleytom]

nice vid

and go lock on :D

[Exseigee]

would this work with ARMA 2?

[MarshmallowMasta]

@Exseigee Yes

[allmixes]

I love the landing.

[MrLukasmann]

how much???

[gregoirenoel]

a pilot use his left hand

[ThePsychomunky]

would this work for LockOn platinum?

[mrcolosalp]

Do they make systems like this for commercial jets?

[dacarfreak2000]

@mrcolosalp A380 is one.

[stephenoes]

do a barrel roll!

[allegiant347]

why cant it be like the good old days when you had a controller, where throttle was X ,moving was anolog stick , landing gear was O, reverse was square, and rudders were R1, L2 or whatever

[Ehal256]

@allegiant347 there's been joysticks for as long as there's been R1 and L2 buttons on PS1/2/3 controllers.

[allegiant347]

@Ehal256 yes but its cheaper than all the equipment you need which can add up to a lot of money :p

[Ehal256]

@allegiant347 of course, this kind of stuff is really expensive :P arcade-style flight sims played with gamepads are a ton of fun for the money, usually.

[FSProduction154]

can you tell me how can i fix the throttle? i get like 90% of thrust at full throttle in the G940 . and how do i get reverse thrust on G940? PLEASE RESPOND!!!

and the joystick, theres like always the joystick try to battle with me , by that i mean like always trying to fly on its own

[dacarfreak2000]

@FSProduction154 Thats the force feedback of the joystick. It simulates the turbulence or the knocking of the joystick while flying as of you would experience in flying a real plane. I have G27 which is for racing games that also has force feedback which simulates rough roads and feel of the tires.

[air763765]

@FSProduction154

You need to calibrate the joystick from the "devices and printers" (windows 7)

[FSProduction154]

@air763765 i did that but the rever thrust doesnt how that option

[GaryXJ6]

$299 worth of game controller.....and he still! can't land. Lovely home setup though. Two more monitors and it will be perfect. Just promise us that you will practise those landings eh! The rest of us tend to find that landing on the wheels usually prevents the fireball mushroom cloud at the end of your vid. :)

[mfandrade007]

somebody knows what game is he playing??

[wenjie1992]

@mfandrade007 Lock On: Modern Air Combat

[Mixonpl]

That is some wicked style of landing.

[airbus5521]

how did he get that nice plane?

[deestilo]

@airbus5521

you mean the F18 ? I think it's part of the FSX add on: acceleration

[mrsurfingtarp]

@deestilo thats an f-15

[deestilo]

@mrsurfingtarp

stands corrected. It is F15..... I didn't pay enough attention to details........ Yeah F15 is not provided in the original FSX or the Acceleration AddOns pack. Gotta get it separately.

[mryantao]

Which is the best saitek or logitech flight control system?

[dottyokelly]

can any tell me how 2 play this g940...like do you have 2 buy the game's your self or do they come whit the package??

[mryantao]

@dottyokelly No. This game is microsoft flight simulator X

You have to buy it seperately

[H3A2T]

You missed the runway dude...

[joyman2000]

YO QUIERO UNO!

[splashjump]

which game did you play on this video??

and which game would you recommend??

[t0k3z420]

wow all that and a little screen?? lmao you need atleast a 42 inch lcd to get the full effect

[jasper8325]

can you give a tutorial for the optons of the sittings you use?

thx

[airste172]

The fact that there isn't a yoke available for this system indicates to me that this product is something of a toy aimed for the amusement market rather than an item that can be regarded as a useful tool for more serious simulation applications. Frequent reports of problems and the general unreliablity of this system tend to support my assertion.

[supermec131]

the only question I've got to this awesome thing is...

Are there any games that are actually worth it?

I mean, cool graphics, awesome gameplay etc etc?

[minipunk99]

@supermec131 VRS F/A-18E Superbug is AMAZING graphics are the best you will ever see, 100% accurate cockpit, the sounds are VERY accurate, and you can launch ordinants from your jet

[blenenc]

@minipunk99

TY =)

Ima buy this =D

[provetamin]

1:32 LOL

[AZ09RGN]

what game was that?

[nomad18psycho]

@AZ09RGN lock on but i dont know witch one

[jjchang310]

Hey dude does that game come with the logitech g940?

[benfalas]

Nice landing

[kuraiotoko]

@benfalas agreed

[Taur3x]

@benfalas hahahah, that was really funny because I actually expected to see a nice landing after reading your comment

[DxaDeamon]

screw games, send this guy to the airforce

[DJFajny]

i got that... Best Damn Thing to make u fell as a real pilot ^^

[bokanovskyprocess]

just wanted to chime in saying that force feedback is not necessarily crucial. I have used force feedback, and I find that you usually lose a bit of precision, both because the joystick is moving so much (although this can be fun) and because the thing centers in a different way (I suppose it's mechanical as opposed to spring-based, or somesuch). I got an x52 + some old ch pedals for about 220$

You have to know exactly what you are looking for, in short. Any hotas+ pedals setup is sick IMO.

[FreeRaper]

Game - "Lock On: Flaming Cliffs"

New version - "Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2"

[fsman94]

what game is that??

[factorxitox]

Jizz in my pants

[KustomCompBuilder]

does the joystick make sound becuz of the force feedback?

[BIGPAULIEFAN]

aww where u get that

[Mav0580]

What is that for simulator, realy nice graphics xD

[truenotreligion]

impresive joystick

[PinataLove2083]

oh no you die lol

[JKAFactionz]

Please reply fast. Can I use these Logitech joysticks to fly the big planes, eg. 747. Because I see everybody flying them with the two handed Yoke.

[EliasOwnage95]

@JKAFactionz OFC u can :O

[zikkonn]

cool

[2HornDogs]

wow what game is this?

[geforce5700fx]

need T__T

[ikkeennigij121]

My lock on doesn't have that damage model...if I crash it's just..BOOM! no wings ripping off and shit

[tnpoon]

EPIC CRASH!! lol

[MADdrummer971]

BOOOM

[cavemansk8tr]

That sim isnt out yet

[familyfriendly]

lock-on came out over six years ago

[Aleksitusasd]

@cavemansk8tr Fail

[iamman711]

wipeout!

[Rcman95]

How do you make explosions ???

[StormOfSwords]

that sim is nasty

[acecombat4506]

It's Lock on...DERR

[airindia16]

how do u take the plastic cover off the

P1...8s

[tek5828]

Pull them off gently with your fingernails

they should click

[Czwakiel]

Why does everyone care so much about the crash effects? It's a flight simulator not a crash simulator.

[HAYDS510]

besides, if your in a plane and it crashes your not gonna be alive & watching the explosion from the 3rd person perspective.

[Finelite05]

how the heck do you get the crash simulation?

[platypus202]

how do you get the crash effects?

[ArcherTPol]

what game is that?

[SoCalyankeefan]

fs9 or fsx

[KustomCompBuilder]

@SoCalyankeefan Neither

[ElRhinoProductions]

no Microsoft Flight Simulator (apart from the combat series) allows aircraft damage, simply the dreaded "Crash" writing on the screen and reload to last airport landed at wish there was proper damage models though =( would be interesting to see if i can land a 737 with just one and a half wings xD

[paice95]

yes but i think you can download the crash thing but only for fs9. but i still doubt by the way it looks that that is MFS.

[ElRhinoProductions]

i mean there is no flight simulator from microsoft that allows damage ^^ not visible anyway, i once had an engine overstress and cause a fire though badly rendered, i want to get X-Plane soon - proper scenery thats free and small downloads as you only need to download a bit at a time ^^ plus you can simulate flight with only one wing (ie: clip a building and watch your beloved 737 spiral to the ground) ^^

[ElectZ]

Lock On Air Cliffs

[jsd23]

lol, it gives the distinct impression the toe axis are assigned to roll and pitch!

[giz02]

Who flys a sime from the outside... tool..

[giz02]

Looks like LOMAC

[awsome12111]

wwhich simulator is it

[gmanzeroalpha]

How are you going to mod the stick to the f-18 stick? That stick is very close to the F-16 real stick. I have friend of mine that is a US airforce piolt and he said it looks pretty close to the real F-16 that he flies. Pretty good for a toy thats for sure was his words. I prefer the f18 as well but how can you mod that?

[amin654]

is track ir easy to take off, put away, then bring back again if you do long haul flights and are mostly away from the cockpit?

[jsd23]

yep - i've got the oldest version (trackIR 1), I've got the reflective dot on a piece of card taped to some string I tie round my head. All the newer ones have much better solutions, ie hats with a thing on the brim, or something which clips to your headphones. You can also turn TrackIR on and off completely with a keypress in-game.

[E3nigga]

300 dollars for that?

[deagle94]

force feed back

[Jellybeantiger]

Should be better than the blastid Cougar but anything is better than that POS hotas!

[DOMINATIONMONSTER]

How can you make explosions at crashes

[tarkinfish]

Omg, I am definitely saving up for this as i want to be a helicopter pilot when i can become one so that I can get a real insight into how to fly.

[t22v1]

I think Logitech screwed up ergonomy. Especially the stick. I'll probably try to mod this one to real F-18 grip which is IMHO much better then original Logitech design.

[johnnynismo]

I MUST HAVE THIS G940! This will make my machine the ultimate sim machine, as I already have a G25 for racing.

[DanielRTC]

LOL Logitech Maniac like me :P

[viva0la0utube]

r u using fs9??

[19BlackLord91]

is this ummm LockOn

[ronnysoeberg]

It is indeed lock on.

[mobius1aic]

I WANT.

[TheJhonnyboy90]

@mobius1aic

yes 300$

i want it too :D

[mobius1aic]

@TheJhonnyboy90 I got one a while back :D

[TheJhonnyboy90]

@mobius1aic

fuck you :D

[mobius1aic]

@TheJhonnyboy90 :D

[liorgo97]

@mobius1aic Dear santa...

[element1108]

how many USB connects does it need? I'm assuming it uses it's own DC power supply? Looks really nice, the throttle control is what sets it apart I think. Not many dual engine throttle sets out there.

[MarcusTheJunkie]

It uses one USB connection. The usb runs to the stick, as such the stick powers the rest of the system.

[element1108]

Thanks for the reply man, appreciate it. :)

[Jarza75]

Does that system have force feedback?

[Jarza75]

Oh, it has.

[S3hz]

Read the video information on the right lol. ;P

[MarcusTheJunkie]

Yes it has force feedback.

[ueTsVGV]

Looks like plastic... (compared to Metal Joystick "Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar")

[regztigershark]

Just hope you get one of the good (early) Cougars. Ever since that other company took over, the quality of the Cougar has dropped considerably. Unless you have +500 bucks to buy an after-market mod kit (after the 250 for the stick/throttle) DON'T BOTHER. I have a Cougar. I want something else.

[Virginityrocks]

I'd rather go basic with the saitek flight system. These components seems more pleasing to the gamer, not the aspiring pilot.

I do like the programmable and labelling on 0:05 though

[XxXDELTAxFOXTROTXxX]

Wow, one of the most expensive pieces of hardware.

[crim3cost]

Try to buy a force feedback joystick, a dual throttle quadrant and rudders with toebrakes separately for less than 300

[nordemoniac]

Yeah;)

[PedroDashT]

@crim3cost Plus Logitech's Quality and design

[IHaTeD2]

@PedroDashT Thats a Con not a Pro.

[DaviDVDBCN]

@crim3cost

Wich dual thottle quadrant and rudders with toebrakes recomend? I will like to fly simulators of Helicopters.

Thanks.

[crim3cost]

@DaviDVDBCN yo por experiencia directa solo conozco mi veterano saitek x-52, los pedales de saitek, y el joystick m$ sidewinder FFB 2.Todo me funciona de maravilla. Lo único que el sidewinder es demasiado sensible porque el stick es muy corto, sobretodo comparado con el del x-52, pero ha cambio tiene force feedback, el mejor del mercado doméstico hasta la fecha por lo que dicen.

Para el DCS Black Shark utilizo los pedales, el throttle del x-52 como colectivo y el sidewinder como cíclico.

[DaviDVDBCN]

@crim3cost Muchas Gracias por tus consejos.

He mirado que el sidewinder FFB2 esta descatalogado, asi que, no me queda otra que el Saitek X-52, pero una cosa, entre el X52, y el X52 Pro? existen muchas diferencias? lo bueno del pro es que tiene funcion 3d, así que puedo jugar con el mientras recaude para los pedales, pero no se si la funcion 3d penaliza la sensibilidad del resto del conjunto. Me puedes echar una mano de nuevo por favor?

Un saludo,

Daid.

[crim3cost]

@DaviDVDBCN La pantalla del Pro es más funcional (en el mío básicamente solo sirve de cronometro y reloj) y el stick del Pro tiene 2 muelles en lugar de uno. También mejora problemas del lubricación del stick que se dan en la versión anterior. El Pro es mejor, sin duda, aunque no exageradamente. Pero si puedes elegir, mejor el Pro.

Las dos versiones tienen la función 3d.

Por cierto, el mando de gases no es dual en ninguna de las dos versiones si buscabas eso.

[DaviDVDBCN]

@crim3cost , de nuevo, muchas gracias por el consejo Crim3cost, seguiré tu consejo y cogeré el Pro. Un amigo me ofrece el Hotas Cougar de segunda mano por 120€, y lo bueno es que se que tiene como mucho 10 o 12 veces que lo ha usado, lo compro antes de apuntarse a sacarse el carnet de piloto, y una vez se apunto, no lo ha tocado más, esta en su caja original, conoces este Joystic? He leído que bueno y he visto que nuevo vale 200€. Pero el diseño, aun siendo de plástico me gusta más el del Pro.

[supramk3killen]

@crim3cost Yeah and do you know why you can buy this less than 300... Its because its a crapy joystick with alot of problems and defekt buttons. I love logitech got alot of stuff from them but this stick is not good.

[crim3cost]

@supramk3killen Yes, a year later it seems that the g940 hasn't been up to the expectations. I've been lucky I had all I needed before the g940 was realeased so I didn't buy it.

[AudunBarsk]

@crim3cost i think that is force feedback?

[crim3cost]

@AudunBarsk what do you mean?

[Muphlon]

no, it actually isn't.

[QAnswer]

bad way to advertise a product in the end, lol

[rcplanesair5]

hahahahahahaha crash!!!! lol

[wumas0201]

wonderful joystick. How can you get this one??

[icecreamman93]

Won't be out until september.

[Encraftonline]

its out now for 300 bucks

[robbiethehood]

out now? where?

[332ndVFGBearcat]

That is very interesting... I was never a fan of the less expensive logitech sticks... but this looks very promising.

[BobbyLahay]

How is the name of the game?

[ViCtOrXP3]

Lock on
