Logitech G25 apparently out in UK in 15days

I just got my wheel from OCUK today and have given it a quick run.

My previous wheel was a Black Momo so the first thing I noticed the wheel felt quite thin even though there isn't a huge difference but as I suffer with my hands I can tell that I'll have problems later.

The pedals are much stiffer than the Momo and that takes a little getting used to as the same pressure on the G25 has little effect so for a while I was missing the braking points.

The wheel is much quieter and smoother, it does feel light when the car is stationary and return to center turned off.

The gear shifter is a waste of time for me as I'm mostly an after midnight racer and the thing is so noisey it would keep everyone awake, I prefer paddles anyhow.

After an hour or so I got within 3tenths of my best lap time but felt I should have done better.
I was left foot braking as I don't have enough room between the pedals for heel and toe not that I could do it anyway.

I've taken the wheel off my desk now and put back my black MOMO as need to sort out a few things before I can get stuck into for good.

When I did put back the Momo and pedals I thought the springs had broke as the pedals felt so weak after the G25.
 
No after using the G25 pedals with the stiffer springs and then going back to the Momo pedals makes you realise how weak the Momo springs are.

Did you mean to add a smiley ?

It's not ONLY for GTR2.
RBR is the best rally sim, GPL is still the best open-wheeler sim.

Yup, its great with GTR, GTR2, GPL, BRB and LFS... but why the hell did you include NFS-Carbon on your list?

to keep the kiddies happy !!

Actually it was one area which i NEVER enjoyed with the MS wheel.
Having 2 1/2 turns makes it more like the real world and more fun.

As well as the serious racing I occasionally pitch in some "fun time" with arcade-games :)l
 
i meant that you will get max performance out of driving sims.

and i put LIKE there. which meant that i was also pointing at any driving sims.

plus.. like someone put i will never let kids near the wheel! this is a toy for adults only!!
 
I have ordered mines today, should be arrive Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Can't wait to test it on GTR 2!!!

Another vote for the Live for Speed Demo (link)

Not perfect but still great force-feedback that isn't as flat and predictable as games like rFactor, GTR etc. £24 for full game.
 
well if you choose to go with act lab stuff you will be paying much more than this.

quality wise act lab maybe better. although im not sure, all iv tried is the shifter.
 
Mine arrived about 1:30 this afternoon and been playing with it ever since.

Over 2 seconds a lap faster on GTR2, and 4 seconds a lap faster in TOCA 3. In short aside from my 24" Dell this is the best thing I've bought for my PC in the past 10 years!

Get one you won't be sorry...

Ref. lap times I was using keyboard before I got the G25 :)
Oh and the GTR2 time is with no aids on at all...
