well fcuk me.
Read afew reveiws on the logitech wheels, and @McGherkin you were right, the DF wheels are loud!
may have just bought a G27
Where from out of interest? The Mrs will probably kill me, but I'm tempted to get one and AC.
Amazon, seems to be cheapest atm (apart from ebay ofcourse, but i wanted the 3yr warranty)
Yeah bought AC aswell... should really delete my paypal.

Cheers, just bought AC and will give it a whirl with the Xbox controller before making a decision on the G27.
Yeah ive just had a blast on it, seems a decent game! feels like its lacking with a controller though, very clunky with joysticks/triggers imo

Trying to think of reasons not to buy this - and I'm running out of them! Especially as I've got the G25 out of semi-perma storage now.

I'm not that impressed with it so far to be honest, with stability off it seems very difficult (even with IA on the easiest setting) best I've managed so far is 4th place with stability on full. I'd also say it's not as controllable as Forza's physics. Graphics aren't all that, there doesn't appear to be any damage in effect (mechanical or visual even when set), audio also seems rather flat and uninspiring. I appreciate its a work in-progress and am not slagging it off, I'm just surprised at how much it still has missing.
I'm looking at reviews for the G27 but they don't seem to be all that forgiving either, so not sure what to do at the moment, I'm going to keep plugging away with AC on the Xbox controller to spend more time with it and go from there.
Those that already have a G25/7 how do you find setting it up? Reviews seem to slate the amount of cabling required and I'm reluctant to splash £200 on it if it ends up in the attic.
Project cars looks a lot more promising but is atleast 6 months away.

Been part of project cars since its inception. I am one of the first round of investors (You chose how much money you invested into it upon purchase).
Firstly yes I am using a wheel on both of these. I can not even start to describe the difference between using a pad and wheel, unfortunately platforms like PC and AC are designed for the wheel, the pad is always compromised.
There is not a single other Sim apart from Assetto Corsa (and perhaps LFS) that accurately translate the feedback from the front wheels to the steering wheel. The slip angles of the Tyres is surreal, its not like most other games/sims where you push the car to an uncontrolable edge then it fallls off the cliff. Instead the cars in assetto corsa have progression and feel, you feel that your tyres are at the limit and when they go it can be pulled back, just as in real life..
Not me, but you get the idea, the car behaves as one expects a car to behave.
For pad, as much as I bum Assetto Corsa... I would push you to Project cars, so far the physics are more forgiving.
Lazer scanned tracks with accurate bump data, proper physics and the Ring coming later this year. I shall be firmly in the AC camp.

Logitech g27.
Its done me well, its been hammered and remained pretty reliable. I had a g25 before this but it broke. Its not that difficult to set up. There are 4 wires in total...
pedals to wheel
power to wheel
usb to wheel
Gear selector to wheel
Its all pretty neat and its not difficult to set up at all. Mines in the bedroom so when im not racing I just throw it all under the desk.
The gearing in the g27 is much better, its all metal and helical cut, so much quieter than the old 25.
Scout around on Ebay for a second hand one.
I personally felt that Live For Speed provided more feedback at the limit as to what the car's doing. It also felt more comparable to driving a real car. It'll be interesting to see if they are updating the physics though as I think that may push it past LFS once and for all.
i need to see if you can switch the G25/7 gearing, that's the only thing I don't like about my setup. Sequential FTW.

I learned to heel and toe on assetto corsa, I'm quite fond of the clutch and H pattern. Love flinging the lotus exeige about, it feels like I'm actually driving a car.
But LFS has H-pattern + clutch shifting too, although the clutch is pretty dire. If you've driven (and stalled) paddle clutches you know the feeling.
Is it just me or does the Exige have a LOT of understeer issues?

It does push. I tend to go in a little hotter so it neutralises it.
I downloaded "joux plane" from Richard burns rally for AS. The lotus on that a stage is epic fun.
I do like my RBR.

I bought this a month ago or so. I have only played it with the pad and it is dog s**t.
I can only imagine there is a night and day difference with the wheel as I have seen some cool drift videos and that would just not be possible on the setup I have tried.

Like. We really need a simracing thread lol.
Well I know what I'm spending the rest of this months wages on... Had a few plays of AC with a pad and my old XB360 wheel. It's good, but not great, and annoying to set up and control. The G27 has been tempting me for a while now and that photo has swayed me lol. It's just so awesome with the full H shifter and stuff.
Quick question jackdanielsmom how does the H shifter fair on ETS2? Can you set up full range/splitter gear setups with it? Always wanted to try that out.

Oops, I should really make a habit of reading instructions and info when it comes to things!Looks like a G27 is on the cards then :approve:
I love my G25, they're excellent wheels.

Do those logitechs have force feedback?

If I got a wheel I would have to get one of those chairs to go with it and I'm just not sure the lady will get on board with that lol

Also, muliplayer is fantastic by the way. The way you book races is a little clunky and a pain in the bum, but the netcode and the racing is spot on.

That video is fantastic. Will look into multiplayer tonight i think! Starting to get used to the wheel now so im getting alot cleaner laps out of it
I dont think I could go back to a controller after!
I am, however, having issues with most cars shifting up/down into second on both the H shifter & the paddles. It seems to jump to neutral and I have to ***** about with the clutch etc to get it to select second :/

Hi mate. Add a little bit of a dead zone to the clutch pedal in the options. You want to go for around 10-15%. This should clear up your clutch Issues.
I hate missing a gear on this game/sim, getting stuck in neutral right on an apex is not fun.
Nice controlled driving there, very smooth.

Thank you. The 458 is class, it is the best drifting car IMO

I hope so, but it looks to me more console based (I know there will be a PC version). I am not sure the physics will match this, I had LFS years ago, the graphics were crappy but the physics were great. Asseto Corsa has better Physics (although the steering wheel I have helps) and the graphics are quality.

Got Assetto Corsa this weekend as it was half price on Steam and now I'm convinced I need a Logitech G25 in my life after seeing how poor I am with the 360 controller and watching all the videos on YouTube.
Where's the cheapest place to get one? I'm guessing my best bet would be Gumtree/eBay?

Pretty much.

Some of the setups on YouTube are insane! Not sure if I should get a seat and stand or just use a chair with a table?
I use a chair and table for the moment. Want to build myself a full rig though.
