Well i've not posted in here in a few days. I guess you can all blame this game, i've been addicted since getting my wheel.

Great stuff! I was wondering how it went with the wheel, but yeah -sounds cool!

Couple of videos I made in the Formula Abarth, using 2880x1620 downsampling, recorded with shadowplay

I've bought the nixim brake mod for my g27. I've heard good things, so hopefully my lap times will drop.

I play this with the Dual shock 4, Its pretty great especially with the rumble feature.
Really want to get a wheel for this though.
Cant wait for the next update...this game really needs some A.I drivers.

There's been a couple of DFGT wheels for sale in the MM recently for those looking to make the first step from playing with a pad.

Hixxy0 · 13 Jan 2014 at 16:29

Yeah I've tried with a pad and it's good. But wth a wheel it's a different game. Amazing with a g27.

I play using both my g25 and 360 pad. The only issue I find with the 360 pad is the tight bends you just cant add the lock needed to make the bend without slowing to less than 30mph which is when the game will initiate full lock anything over that speed and you only get 60% of the lock...

The short club track have no idea of the name but with the formula abrath about about 5 seconds slower on the pad as i just cant get the lock needed for the bends..

On the wider tracks the pad isnt so bad as you dont quite need os much lock seeing as the tracks a lot wider and so are the apexes.

I've fiddled with Gamma Filter steering speed none of them seem to help.

Finding this too, playing with a 360 controller in the above videos I posted, near grinding to a halt on one of the corners.

is it still possable to get a g25 anywhere? not much difference between that and a g27 as far as i know.

barmyllama · 13 Jan 2014 at 17:03

Biggest difference is the shifter. The G25 can be used in manual and sequential modes. The G27 doesn't have this feature, it does have more buttons on the wheel and the shifter lights. Other than that they are identical really.

I have one of those on my G25. It does work well so is a sound investment.

They are quite different inside, g25 has one motor and G27 has two.

G25 has two motors also. The DFGT has one.

The main internal difference of the G27 is the helical gears for the FFB, which supposedly reduce backlash and makes the FFB smoother and quieter.

The pedals are also more configurable.

Your right about the helical gears I'd forgot about that.

I bought a second G25 when they reduced the price to clear the line.
I kept it boxed for months but before the warranty ran out I thought I should test it.
It had a sticky paddle shift so I returned it to OC. They sent it to Logitec who hadn't got any replacements so all I got was my money back.

Having since taken my old G25 apart I could have fixed it for about £2.

Still my Old G25 still works well and it's used most days.

I wouldn't personally get a G27 as a replacement as it's kind of old tech but for the price they have to be best value for the money.
