My racing seat setup. A1 GP Playseat and G27

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Hi

Had this set-up sience Christmas now and I absolutely love it.
opted for the new Logitech G27, brilliant piece of kit, full 900 degree rotation, 6 speed gear box with working clutch and reverse, stainless steel flappy paddles, customisable buttons on the steering wheel, peddles can be move left or right are also have different pressures for each peddle e.g. throttle the easiest and the break being the hardest to use.

Can be used on PC and PS3 but not XBOX unfortunately. force feedback is really realistic and there is no lag to the game from the steering wheel.

Also got the A1 GP playseat which is comfy and fully adjustable for short and tall people. provides a better driving position than my clio.

Just brought the new F1 2011 game for PS3 and it's brilliant so far, set up keers and DRS on the wheel for convince of use.

enough talking here are some pictures.

Fanatec or nothing though.

 

[Sanders]

Nice setup

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I had that setup but with a white playseat, had to sell it to pay for my car though

 

[adam172]

a[/URL]lthough I bought the G27 a few week prior to getting the seat from overclockers.co.uk

I did use my mates fanatec, and I would of mined using my XBOX.

but the G27 with this set-up was much better, just a shame I can't use it on Forza as well.
But with GT5, F1, new for speed, test drive 2, dirt 3 etc on the PS3 this was the better option.

 

[Gally]

Jealous much! Nice set up dude.

 

[jay s]

Very nice , pretty much the same set up as ive got although i use a G25

as you say transforms GT5 and pretty much all racing games that are used with it. playing racing games on a pad is never the same again......

few pics of mine ( hope u dont mind )

[Tyler@Ultimate]

yeah agree, don't think I would like GT5 if I was playing it on a pad.

I did think about the white seat but with the G27 being black, thought it would match.

Looks good in white tho, does it show much dirt?

 

[Darren S]

Nice!

A tad elitist perhaps?

The Logitech high-end wheels are epic and can sustain a shitload of abuse. If anything, they are a little too over-engineered. My G25 is still going strong after all these years and unlike the Clio steering wheel, tends not to melt or fall apart!

[JLister]

I want one

 

[Christopher]

Awesome. I'd go for the Fanatec for an all-out driving setup though... you're doing the setup an injustice without one.

G27's are great though, but I just think they feel really cheap to use.

When i bought mine 4 years back they only had the white one in stock so just got that,tbh it has stayed very very clean and only needs wiping with a wet cloth to remove any marks etc

totally agree, the people who are moaning about them are doing so only because they can't be used on XBOX had mine 4 years as well and gets used s**t loads and still feels as good as the day i got it. it doesnt get used lightly either EPIC WHEEL

 

[Goodj]

I wish I had the space

 

[Christopher]

Totally agree, the people who are moaning about them are doing so only because they can't be used on XBOX

...or they've used a Fanatec.

 

[Goodj]

In any case, the more hero-action people can do at home means less cars rolled through fields in the real.

Although it could lead to people believing their hero digital action can be replicated in the real, leading to an increase of y0!-SMASH! indicents.

So, I guess, on balance, meh.

 

[jonesyFX]

Would love a set up like this!

Logitech G27 going pretty cheap on Play

[Ja5on]

I was looking at the Thrustmaster T500 RS. Good reviews from "inside sim racing"

 

[Jamie86]

That G27 on play is almost to cheap to resist!

 

[sneeks]

I have the same setup as Jay S.

 

[sneeks]

I may upgrade my G25 to a Fanatec Porsche 911 GT2 wheel. Probably only buy the wheel for £250 and use my G25 pedals with it.

 

[Papalaz]

Bit new to all this but with Forza 4 coming out I want to at least give a racing wheel and pedal setup a go

Whats a good choice?

 

[Jamie86]

The link posted above for the G27 is a bargain 2nd hand ones are going for more than that!

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

the G27 is not compatible with Xbox only PS3 and PC, hence the reason I buy my racing games on the PS3.

Not sure on any decent wheels/seats for the Xbox

 

[Sean6545]

Makes my home made version look poor! I got the logitek GT.

 

[Jamie86]

Ah yeah sorry I missed the forza4 part oops.. The Fanatec are awesome and do all the consoles but not cheap!

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

not a bad effort tbh. prob saved a few quid

 

[Sean6545]

^^ Its the best thing ever. Im addicted to dirt 3 with it. Logitec have got the feeling of their wheels just right.

 

[Mark_]

AWESOME set up!!!

 

[richy22]

Any other links to gaming chairs?

Im VERY tempted to get the G27 off play.com

 

[Nick172Cup]

My brother has a G27 also but he's customised his quite a bit, reversing the peddles the other way like a normal car and also fitted a bucket seat with his own subframe/sidemounts/sliders. He's even fitted and sparco steering wheel with the controls still and retrofitted an actual handbrake for when he drifts on GT5, will pop some pictures up later on, good fun though thats for certain!

lol, still not a bad price tho, normally are £260 ish

 

[maynard]

That's mint!

 

[jay s]

a member is selling a G25 for £90 which is a bargain http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...itech-G25-Racing-Wheel-And-Pedals-(PC-PS2-PS3)

for anyone interested in the difference between the 2 ...

 

[Darren S]

I'm normally not an advocate of too many buttons on devices, but I do find the two on the G25 a bit limiting. The six on the G27 would be much more useful imo.

D.

 

[richy22]

What would you use them for?? SRS question??

Also because i've never looked into it is it possible to get a G25 with both paddle shifts and the separate gear-sticky me bob? I like the look of the G25 but feel I would get a bit annoyed with the changes, be nice to switch to paddle ones on the back if you get bored...

Edit. FML I fail..just read the specs but left this here to show what a tool I am
