Yammo, thanks for sharing your experience... I've been looking at the logitech for a couple of months now and have read about a gazillion review that all pretty much say the same thing, that is other than the reversal bug and the r1-r2 spiking people are generally happy with the controller.
I have been flying various flight sims for ages now with an X-45 (no rudder pedals) that is starting to feel like it's going to die. Trying to find a replacement for the thing is becoming very frustrating. The x-52pro seems to be out of production or at least unavailable in Canada. I can pick one up through Amazon.com but am familiar enough with Saitek's lack of consistency that I want a local store to return the thing to. With the twist grip I would still have to buy rudder pedals.
The Logitech seems pricey if it doesn't work, but in reality it's the best priced controller out there. The only other real alternative that's not decades old is the TM warthog, or the Saitek X65f and my flight simming is more of a play for a few months, then move on to something else for a while. Certainly nowhere near hardcore enough to justify the $600 price tag or $400 for the X65f and then still have to buy pedals.
I noticed that Mazex got a new part number with his replacement G940 and I'm really hoping that Logitech has fixed the rotary spiking. I can live with the reversal bug in the throttle and rudder because quite honestly, for my style of flying I can live with it. I've never fussed about that kind of precision.
