But what I need to know is
A. Will it work for a Mech as good as a Plane?
B. Do you think I will be able to program it for MechWarrior Online?
and
C. Has anybody got one of these and uses it for MW3 or MW4 or Both?
Thanx for any advice

With MWLL I use a mouse and keyboard becasue it so much like a FPS, but I hope this will feel more like a Mech sim and less like a FPS

I have the same questions. This thing is way out of my price range but a decently priced onepops up on eBay every now and then.
It really is the ultimate cockpit setup

This is really all dependent on whether or not Logitech works with the PGI to get full support for the G940 working properly.
I have one and I love it, but it does have some quirks. There is a rubberbanding issue with the rudder pedals, but it's never been any kind of real issue for me. basically for some reason when you rapidly change the input level on the rudder pedals they start to output in a jumpy manner shifting between the current rudder position, and the previous rudder position. I've never seen anything noticeable in game, but when you watch the input readings in the calibration menus it jumps noticeably. Also some units have overheating issues, and I've noticed that sometimes it can't quite center itself when plugged in, but not being used so you hear the motors whining. I suspect the two issues are related, but a simple tap when the centering motors are whirring you can just kind of tap the stick and it stops.
I've had mine for about a year, and honestly for the price you can't find a full HOTAS and rudder pedals anywhere else. I've been very pleased with it, but there are issues that should be considered and you should look up some reviews and make your own determination. I may have just gotten lucky with a unit that works as intended unlike more vocal users out there.

I've looked into this joystick as well. It's a bit pricey at $300, but it's rather unique in that it includes joystick, throttle, and pedals. Several other joystick/throttle products run about $300, but don't include foot-pedals. Additionally, the G940 joystick is Force-Feedback enabled. So, the inclusion of Force-Feedback and pedals rivals that of the competition and balances the price.
There's really no way to know at this point what peripherals will work with MechWarrior Online, but seeing as how the developers themselves are using this joystick, it's a pretty safe bet that it will be compatible.

As I haven't purchased this stick myself, I can't comment on its effectiveness. I have used a different Logitech stick (WingMan 3D Pro) with MechWarrior 4 however, and it works flawlessly. I would expect the G940, a more expensive product, to be much more effective.
Hope this helps!

Thanx for the input and advice It's nice to see that the Dev's are using this set-up because I will more than likely get it. I haven't bought it yet so I will wait until its more near the time of the game being released and then I can find out if it is properly supported before shelling out for it though
