[Sven De Nys]

It looks like I've been a good boy this year, because yesterday evening Santa Claus brought me my G25 finally !!! I'm really liking it ... Just need to get used to the wheel, after transferring from a Rumblepad...

Just tested on Nurburgring and drove some 2:25.3xx... First laps with the G25.. Don't know if that's good yet!

[Bram Hengeveld]

Congrats Sven. I am sure you will get used to the "G" very soon

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

You will hit the spot much better now

[Sven De Nys]

I'm currently practising like hell !! Just need to get the settings right...

Fastest lap was now a 2.24

[Warren Dawes]

We have a guy (fellow Aussie) in need of help and I don't have the knowledge to offer much more help. See this thread.

Any chance one of our PC specialists (Marcel ) could look at the post and offer the poor guy some advice??

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

I will look at the topic and see what i can do for him.

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

This is what i posted to him:

Warren asked me to help you and here is what you can do.

1. Remove all old logitech drivers, try to do this in safe mode (hit F8 during boot and start in safe mode)

2. Reboot pc and install one of these drivers, depending on the os you use 32 or 64 bit.

Vista 32 bit version:

Vista 64 bit version:
http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/joystick/lgs501_x64.exe

3. Reboot again and be sure the wheel is connected and also powered.

4. Be sure you don't run the Logitech software whlie you use the wheel, i think the logitech gaming software will be run when you boot up the pc so remove them from startup or from registry. If you don't know how to do that just contact me.

5. In control panel game controllers be sure you set no combining axes.

6. Put the all forces slider on 101% and 270 degrees rotation.
The 2 other sliders i have on 0%

7. Enable centerspring but be sure it is set at 0%.

Then go to the controller file, in GTR2 it's the plr file and in race it's a separate controler ini file.

8. Set this value:
FFB Steer Damper Coefficient - "-0.175" [note it is changed to a negetive value]

9. Safe the file and be sure in race you slect the controller profile with the adjusted setting.

Leave FFB on medium or low and try the force feedback.

If you want to tweak FFB settings you can do this in the controller ini files, here are the values you need to adjust to your own feeling to get better steering response:

Basic values

FFB Gain (if I go over .65 on this with my G25 it gets hard to tweak out the center roughness)
FFB steer force max change
FFB steer force output max
FFB steer force exponent (basically works with FFB Gain)

Tire Grip

FFB steer force input max
FFB steer force grip function
FFB steer force grip weight

Stiffness

FFB steer friction coefficient
FFB steer friction saturation

I hope your problem can be solved now and you will enjoy the G25.

I hope it can help him.

[Warren Dawes]

Thanks guys, I hope it helps him.

[Marcel Ascher]

thx that you call me an pc expert but about this is such a big problem, with such problems i cant help you too.

[Bram Hengeveld]

Marcel a kind request to cut it out now with the spamming!!

[Warren Dawes]

It seems my previous pictures have disappeared, so after a request, I have posted them again.

[jonrarit]

[Jose Ferreira]

I was trying to get the downdload of G25 setup but the file was already deleted, can anybody please give me the setup of G25?

Thank you

[Warren Dawes]

Which file are you looking for Jojo?
Are you looking for a profile?

[Jose Ferreira]

Hi Warren,

I was looking for this ( http://www.speedyshare.com/268799447.html )

from Marcel Hulsbergen I think must be a setup of G25 wheel, I tried to go in to this web site but there is a zipG25 but already deleted.

I am not sure that you have seen that or not, because I need a good setting for G25.

Thanks a lot Warren

Jojo

[Warren Dawes]

Here is mine Jojo, it is based on the one from Marcel.

[Jose Ferreira]

Warren thank you, becuase on April will start the WTCC 07 Race and before that, I will have my new cockpit.

Thank you Warren

Regards

Jojo

[Warren Dawes]

By the way Jojo, regarding my profile.
This profile is to give you my Force feedback Settings.
You may have to remap the keys and buttons in the Controller menu of Race 07 to suit your preferences. You may also want to adjust the Force Feedback Strength to suit your preference as well, mine is fairly light as I don't like it to be too heavy.

[Jose Ferreira]

Warren, ok I know thank you, but I am using quite light too, and I don't like heavy too, and anyway how is your real Mini Cooper, I still have my Volkswagen Golf GTI M2 and this year is already 20 years old.

[Bram Hengeveld]

I have my G25 now for two years, and i get the feeling that my throttle pedal is starting to spike a little. Anybody else has the same?

[Warren Dawes]

Yes. My throttle went haywire just before the two years were up. The original G25 had a two year warranty and they replaced mine with a new one.
The replacement G25 (and all current models) has only a one year warranty, so check your box if you still have it.

I still have the original pedals, and have tested them occasionaly and surprisingly they work fine a lot of the time, but every now and then I lose all power.
I can fix it temporarily by reconnecting the USB or putting it in a different USB slot. Have you tried that?

[James Yates]

I changed to Vista X64 from XP 32bit on Saturday and when i went to try out GTR2 the force feedback ingame was really messed up. I put the newest drivers on and put my usual settings on and had the same ingame settings - but it feels completely different. Its as if the force feedback only works if you go really fast or if you only turn a certain amount, other than that it just feels light and springy. Any ideas on what could be causing this problem, because if it carries on it will most likely put me out of the WTCC League.

[Neil Tennant]

have you checked the ffb settings in game, and on the advanced contoller settings in windows?

Maybe ffb sensitivity?

Never had any problems like that with mine.

[Attila Domján]

There is a hotkey to reset FFB settings in the game, if i am not mistaken Alt+F or Ctrl+F, try that while driving on the track.

[James Yates]

seems to be just the way it works in vista compared to xp - mainly me complaining about nothing

thanks for the help anyway

[Daniel Juncadella]

Hi all

I have my g25 logitech since last year and i used it for PS3.
The Force feedback did not work, but they told me that it was
not possible with the formula 1 game. But, with Race 07 or any other
games it does not work too.
Has anyone had this problem?
I need help for it because it's really.. SHIT driving without feeling what your car is doing. That's why also i can't drive a BMW in Race 07, cause i don't feel when the rear is moving.

Thanks

[Jarrod Crossley]

A G25 owner will correct me if Im wrong, Im sure you can test the forcefeedback from the logitech control panel. Also you have made sure the force feedback is enabled within Race 07.
