the G940 is (was) logitech's flagship flight system...

i really like it because because you can adjust the centering spring strength via software because it has force feedback

all was well until i noticed that some buttons on the throttle stopped working (2-3 months of everyday MWO play)

so i researched online and found out that logitech cheaps out on the internal shielding of the wires and throttling up / down wears the wires out

picture not mine... forgot to take one before i fixed mine...

build quality of the wires is ****.

even if it was under warranty i just fixed it myself (didn't want the RMA hassle)...

so with leftover sleeving material i just replaced the shielding myself...

and here is the wire harness installed back into the throttle...
