EDIT. O yeah.. i think my reverse gear is broken.. i cant get it in... pushing it in doesnt make it reverse.. its just another sixth.. shall i send it back?

You have to push the gear level down (vertically) then slide it to the bottom right to get it into reverse.

Well, looks like someone googled the word 'teledildonics' recently...

Did you set it up as reverse in the controls ?
Works fine here with GTR2 :cool:

Mine gets recognised as reverse gear using XPs controller properties :confused:

Make sure you push it down just like when u move from gated style to sequential...

shimy182 · 11 Nov 2006 at 11:54

yeah im sure im doing it right. but even in the XPs controler properties it comes up as sixth....

grrrr i dont want to send it back!

ref: comparsion to MOMO racing

The wheel is much quieter and smoother

so you dont hear or feel that typical sawing sound/feel as you turn the wheel quickly? (unlike with the momo)

shimy182 · 15 Nov 2006 at 10:46

you still have that. but much quieter and smoother.

my friends cant hear it over TS or skype.

o ye. and the FFB is pretty strong on this

joe pineapples · 15 Nov 2006 at 12:54

Have you tried a reinstall of windows? How about switching the internet off when you fire the logitech software up, does that make a difference?

shimy182 · 4 Dec 2006 at 23:24

nice to see my old thread come back alive

.

just a side news,,

you can use wheels on the game "Armed assault" you even get force feedback

not that fun though. and no gears

I have two installs of XP on different drives and the same effect on both.

Odd thing is when I first used the wheel it worked with the internt using the old momo drivers but after installing the software and drivers for the G25 the internet freezes.
It dosn't help starting the internet after the wheel it simply won't connect and keeps saying line fail.
After about thirty goes it may connect but it's frozen, only unpluging the wheel and rebooting the OS restores the connection.

I've tried unistalling the drivers and software but everytime I plug the wheel back in the G25 drivers reinstall from somewhere.

I've ordered a wireless modem and I'm upgrading to ADSL2 in the next few days so I hope that will help.

Saying the "internet" is a bit vague, how do you connect at the moment Sel? What kind of modem do you use? How many USB devices do you have? Which motherboard and PSU?

Wierd flakiness like this must be really annoying! Doesn't sound like drivers to me but maybe a USB issue maybe? If you reboot, plugin wheel, use wheel. Unplug wheel, connect to ISP, does that work?

Sel · 7 Dec 2006 at 21:09

I'm using a home built PC but I'm not 100% sure of what I stuck in it but it's something like this.

MSI NEO4 Motherboard
4800 2x 64 AMD CPU
450-470 watt PSU Noisetaker
2meg Giel MEM
2x150 gig raptor HD's
2xCDW
ATI 1900TX
onboard sound and USB ports.
Nothing over clocked

USB device connected
MS Optical mouse
Voayger USB Modem
Microsoft Game Voice
Logitech G25 Wheel.

I've tried without mouse and Game voice connected and still the same problem.

If I plug my wheel in at any time my internet connection just stops or won't start and the only fix is to unplug the wheel and reboot my PC.

How are the USB devices connected? Directly to the mobo or using a hub? Definitely sounds like a USB conflict somewhere - might be worth fiddling around with how they are connected (just use minimal including G25 and modem).

You could remove the USB drivers from device manager as a last resort and get it to reinstall them itself automatically (right click - scan for hardware changes), might sort it - never had USB issues myself...

Probably could solve it just by using a ethernet modem...

Thanks for the help, the USB's come straight of the MB.

I will have my new wireless modem next week so I am going to leave things as they are for now I've been on this for a week and have gotten real sick of restarting the PC and trying so many things.

If the problem persists after the new modem I'll get OCUK to check it out and see if it works for them.
