G25 on its way!

[Noah]

I just ordered my G25 about 3 days ago. On top of that I also ordered a new desk and I am worried sick that my wheel will not fit and/or my pedals won't have enough room underneath my desk, so those of you who have a G25 take a look at the desk I just ordered and tell me what you think.

why wouldn't it????

 

[Noah]

My tv is going to be on the upper corner part and I'm worried that the surface below that won't be long enough for the wheel and I'm afraid that the corners won't allow the wheel to fit in the corner piece in front. If that makes any sense. I'm worried about the pedals because of the support post in the middle. I'm not sure how far back it is underneath the table.

the bend section might be a lil problem but i dont think it will be that much of a big deal. the shifter section will actualy probably be in a better position do to the desk bending becuase it will be closer to you instead of the same distacne as the wheel (if that makes any sense) but i cant tell about the pedals i cant tell if the post underneath is straight or if it bends away or towards you.

There is a corner that will come out towards me, but I'm not sure how far out it goes. It has to be made so there is some leg room I would think.

If that monitor is a 17" than I'm afraid that the G25 + shifter won't fit on the middle part of that desk.

You can see that the middle part of the desk is not much wider than the base of that monitor, so if it is a 17", not good. If it's a 19", better.

Wow, I completely forgot about the shifter. I have no idea what I'm going to do now. I feel like I just bought a G25 for no reason.

Don't worry. You did not buy the G25 for no reason.
There is a solution and a good one as well.

I f you make something similar like this, and mount it parallell to the middle part of the desk and parallell the G25, you will not have any problems with fitting the G25 on that desk.

 

[Noah]

I would but it will make the desk look terrible in my opinion. I also don't plan on leaving everything connected at all times. I'm thinking about shipping my G25 back once I get it. Which I really do not want to do but I don't have many options.

After seeing these pictures maybe it will fit?

I really wish they showed the measurements of the desk I bought for the corner piece...

Wait till you get both the G25 and the desk, check to see if it will fit, if you dont want to open the G25 then ask us for measurments and we can tell you how much space you need.

If you have enough space, keep the G25, if not, then return it, or build a small desk for it.

I have that 2nd desk as well and used to use my DFP with it. It would always move a whole lot though, because of the force feedback.

Well I got my G25 today and just tried it with that little lunch table and it didn't work out to great. The table would actually fall into my lap.

EDIT: I measured my the length of both my wheel and the shifter side by side as close together as possible and it measure almost exactly 17", so I have a feeling it should be very close to fitting.

Dude, just put some weights on the legs of the table to keep it bottom heavy so it doesnt move around that muh, or do what I did in my sig.

No way lol.

EDIT: By the way I'm in love with the wheel.

 

[Noah]

Whats up with being able to shift without pressing the clutch in?

 

[wrcsti]

For gamess that support H shift but not clutch.

Hmm, I'm not a big fan of that. I feel like it's impossible to make mistakes. Is there a setting I can change for this?

It really the depends on the game you are playing. Most games such as Live for speed, GT Legend have an option to turn off auto clutch. In GT5 Prologue you need to hit the button that is = triangle.
