LOGITECH Steering Wheels

[Lee Downham]

Sounds like a hardware fault then eh??
Is it still in warranty?
Alternatively ... go get that G25 mate

EDIT: if its not under warranty, try taking it apart and checking the connections etc on the PCB, switches etc ... might just have a bad contact??

Many thanks for yout help, i just done a system restore and they are working fine now, strange i know but hey im happy.

Thank you.

[Jens Piskorsch]

Darren, did you check what happens when you reverse the FF effects? I had the same problem when I connected my G25 the 2st time and that helped.

Yes that is ok now, just done a restore of the computer and all ok.

Thank you

[Jens Piskorsch]

Oh, problem solved allready, fine

[Lee Downham]

Most bizarre ... guess it was a glitch with drivers.
Glad its all fixed now though ... good ol´system restore eh

Hi,

Has anyone got a Logitech Formula Force EX Wheel ?
If so does it have pedals ?
What is it like ?

[Grant Powell]

Hi Gary,

I have this wheel, yes it has pedals i.e accelarator & brake, paddles behind wheel for gear change like F1

For the price i think it is excellent and serves my purpose till im allowed by the mrs to get a G25 LOL

It is well built and the pedals have a solid enough feel so for £45 you cant go wrong yes there are better wheels but they will cost you more, i believe it's all about what you can afford and if £50 is your limit like mine was then you cant go wrong with this wheel

Hope that helps ?

[Garry Pullen]

Hi Grant,

Does it work ok with Race 07/GTR Evo ?

As I had a G25 awhile ago and had to sell it, but I think I really need a wheel and can't afford much

Works fine on Race07, GTR Evo, GT Legends & Rfactor, have not tried it with GTR 2 though but see no problems there either.

i have just got mine as was wonding what the best setup for the wheel

[Jarrod Crossley]

In control panel/ Game controllers/ G25

Rotation from 250
Enable Force Feedback
Strength 100
Spring effect 0
Damper effect 0
no center sping and 0

Once youve made a new controller profile goto ?:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\j\username\race 07\UserData\ControlSet

and look for the RCS file openit with note pad and locate and lter the following:

FFB jolt magnitude="1.30000" // How strong jolts from other cars (or walls) are.  Suggested Range: -2.0 to 2.0.

I would say the wheel setup is all down to you because there setup could not suit you at all. Its all about trial and error

[Simon Bacon]

Totally agree Ben. Had mine about 18 months now and still find myself doing the odd tweak now and then. It's part of the fun, finding your 'perfect' setup One thing I have just done is order a new shifter, one of these

My logitech h-shifter has started to feel a bit 'loose' lately. I can still use sequential ok but for GTL you've gotta use a clutch and shift (imo)

[Sander Hogendoorn]

My G25 settings:

Overall effects strength: 100%

Spring effect strength: 50%

Damper effect strength: 50%

*checked box enabling centering spring, but on 0%

The other 2 boxes unchecked

Wheel rotation: 400 degrees -> don't forget to put steering lock in carsetup menu to ~23 degrees.

[Mike Jaanus]

cheers does it take long to get used to because i can put in alot better laps but im not consistant also on race what gear shifter would u recomend using or is that class dependant

[Simon Bacon]

Takes no time at all to get used to. As for how to shift, it's up to you. Sequential or paddle shifting is generally quicker but H Shifting adds to the 'authenticity' in some cars ie Caterhams. Generally, I try and shift with what is present in the real car, but as I say it's entirely up to you.

[Mike Jaanus]

ive just tried teh settings and ive now nocked my time round brand gp from 1:41 to a consitant 1:37 thats within a night and using the h box on the accord type r so thanks guys bu i think in the case of the bigger quicker shifting gt cars ill be using teh sequental as i cant change quick enough

I would have to agree. I change mine, tweak would be more accurate, as the months go on. I have the FFB dialed down so low as to be negligible. I have mine set to about 360 degrees of rotation.

By all means - start with someones suggestions but then make adjustments to suit you.

Yeah, this beauty is fantastic. Have it now for a month and was new into h-shifting (didn't like the G25 H-shifter).
I drove the Z4 over the Ring with the H-Shifter last monday.... Stunning!
My biggest problem is shifting from 6th to 5th gear. Once it becomes second nature like shifting in real cars, I'll have no problems anymore

Sorry for the off-topic.

[Bram Hengeveld]

Since a few days i run the G25 on default settings again (200 rotation and nothing changed) with the superb feeling of the FFB in Evo it suits me best

[Douglas Lundberg]

i have just reinstalled race07 after reinstalling my computer 1 week ago.
i have tried different settings on the wheel etc but i cant get the same feel as before (a lot lees ffb when losing grip with fwd cars) and i cant use the default logitech g25 settings for some reason.

could someone plz post the settings of the default logitech g25 setting in the controlset folder?

[Eyghon-RD]

I've been experimenting with the wheel settings for a while and my current settings are:

Profiler (I don't have the Profiler running while playing):
Overall Effects Strength: 100
Spring Effects: 0
Damper Effects: 0
Centering Spring: unchecked and set to 0
Allow Game to adjust: ticked
Rotation currently: 513 (was 611 before)

In-Game:
Speed Sensitive Steering: 42%
Steering Sensitivity: 100%
Brake & Accelerator & Clutch: 50%
Feedback Effect: Low
Feedback Strength: 100%
Steering Force: 140%
Steering Vibration: 25%
Engine: 15%
Brakes: 9%
Curbs: 25%
Impact: 100%

But as I say I'm always tweaking or trying some setting or other.
