i couldnt wait any longer and i ordered my version of the G25 today it will be here within 5 days. Hurry up please [-o<

[Pedro van Baelen]

the G25 will need to help me forget my driving force pro witch was a good wheel

when u take it out of the box the first thing u see is that the weel is bigger the normal. second thing are the pedal they are alot heavyer then my previuos.
i got to figure out where i gonne leave all thoose wires 4 intotal(usb, pedal, gears and power supply) the wire from the pedal is a little bit short a extra 1m would be nice. when u installt the wheel and find a good place to place the gearbox (not easy) ure ready to go instal the logitech software and test it. the forcefeedback is alot heavyer then the DFP if u try it in window config my hole desk started to shake.

i look it the logitech game profiler and put my wheel on 400° (u can put it to 900° but i dint becuse race car dont have 900° steering

started Race practice a seat and of we go
dit a lap of 20 on Oschersleben with the H shifter and there it ended for me
its nice but i'm alway ending up in 3th gear when i down shift from 6th

time with the H shifter 1.37.5

put it to up-down shifting (time 1.35.156)

the pedals are so great
the throttle pedal gives a good response and smoot control of ure throttle
the brake pedal is very heavy and i never had a lock-up while braking
the clutch only tryed a few times and is the same a the throttle very smoot

i also found that steering in 400° u can go smooter true a corner


can only tell u get one

[Maik Peters]

Tnx, m8. Now i really really really want one... :? :o :shock: :oops: :!:

[m@rcu5]

Me to! im saving hard but had a set back with money probs this week. there about £150 over here in the good old UK.

I want to share my small modifications on my G25 and the environment.

First i modded the pedals. In a real car the accelarator pedal is a bit lower placed. This can be done with the G25 pedals too.
Just remove the accelerator pedal plate, 2 screws. The remove the black spacer en reasssemble the pedal. Now use for the lower hole a shorter screw and add some locktide to both screws. Now heel and toe is a bit easier to do and it adds a bit to the realism as well.

Buy, steal, find or get a secretary feetrest stand, like this:
http://www.ergo2work.be/product.html...ddb67465b80098
They are easy to find second had or maybe you find one in the office like i did.
Now mount the pedalset with 4 6mm screws on it, drill 4 holes first. Most of these feetrest stands can be adjusted, now you have adjusted pedals.
After adjusting it get some ducktape and stick it on the floor. Here it is mounted like a rock now.

Mounting the wheel.
Get some rubber tape and, i used rackettape, and stick it on the 2 mounting clips. Also stick some rubber tape under the wheelhouse. Now your wheel wont slide off. If it is possible, i did it, drill 2 holes and mount the wheel with 2 screws, also 6mm. I used 2 screws which can be mounted by hand. Got them from my old Thrustmaster t2 wheel.

Now you still have the problem of a rolling chair because the brake is kind of stiff.
I solved this by placing and old rubber, foam can be used too, pillow. Just place the rear wheels on the pillow and your chair will not roll on a wooden floor.

The shifter was also mounted with the rubber racket tape, so this will not slide off too.

Another tip. If the wheel isn't centered go to control panel - Game controllers and set the weel rotation to 900 degrees.
Unplug the the usb connector wait a second and plug it in again. The wheel will calibrate and will be centered.

To add more realism i also don't use the moving wheel, i have a wheel and i have never seen a car with 2 wheels, this also saves some FPS. I slide my 24 inch Dell widescreen just behind my G25 wheel. Now i see it like i am in a real car. I adjusted the sitting position so i see the dasboard and its like my G25 is connected to the dashboard.

If people have more simple tips please add them to this topic.

maybe some picture would be nice

[Bram Hengeveld]

great story mate, that "voetenbankje" did it for me

Yes that was the info i was waiting on no more lockups... racers beware of stiggy now :twisted:

[Pedro van Baelen]

its only becuse its so heavy to push u will not lock-up en so u can put in to 100% brake presure

i dit 40 lap on oscherslebe en no lock ups at 95%

[Bram Hengeveld]

that was my problem with the freaking momo. The steer is still great but i very very disliked the pedals. Only for 90% function. Cant wait for new ones.

[Pedro van Baelen]

yhea my DFP steer was still very good but like the momo pedal they suckt from the beginning

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

Didn't actually find a normal Englisch word for "voetenbankje".

If I have time tomorrow I take some pictures.

I only have a small room with 2 big desks and no space for a cockpit, but i think this works great too.

I can add a small thing, I put a spacer under the wheelbase so the wheel is almost in a 90 degrees hook. I found the original hook not good enough. These are simple mods and easy to apply for everyone.

I want to be sure during a race my pedals dont move and my wheel doesnt come loose.

Off topic: Keep up the good work, i think there will be a great future in virtual racing and i would love to be a team member some time. I think that request will be done tomorrow, I know it's only a few weeks ago since i registered to this forum and i need to be a member for one month first.

[Bram Hengeveld]

i am sure there will be a huge future for virtual racing... we'll keep a look on the join forums then see you on track very soon with my G25 (me too without cockpit )
