G27 force feedback and GT5

[Creakken]

Is there anyone here who knows how to lower the force feedback for a G27 in GT5?

I am waiting for G25/G27 to have full support. Now it seems only the GT5 specific wheels (DFGT) are functioning with the particular settings of the buttons and the force feedback. According to what I have heard the GT5 shall soon have full support, but do not know when. The only info I have is "Polyphony Digital continues to work on fully supporting the Logitech G25 and G27, though Yamauchi admits he would like a “new steering device soon”…".

Does anyone have more updated info?.....

In Dirt 2 there are three settings for the feedback. The first setting is the environment feedback, which means that you feel like you are running on for example gravel. In Dirt 2 i only use 10%, or else it is to intense. The second setting is the force feedback, which i have at 70% in Dirt 2 (I like it a little ruff... but not 100% ruff...). The third is the setting of the wheel weight, which means how hard it is to turn the weel. Now This setting I use 40% to 50%, not more. It is too heavy if 100%. Now in GT5 the only setting which is available is the force feedback. Unfortunately this only applies to the GT5 wheel (DFGT) so nothing happens when changing this. Now, comparing the Dirt 2 setting and GT5 setting for the environment, force and weight feedback the settings is 100% in all three in GT5. I don't like that at all. Feels like its gonna break or something... I really would like to lower the feedback, but unfortunately I can't. This is not fun at all and instead I use the PS3 controller when playing GT5.

I really hope that Polyphony Digital (the word Polyphony suggests a place where independent parts mix together in harmony) can cooporate with Logitech and mix together in harmony and fix this! It seems to work prefect with all other games, but not the GT5. I think it is very bad from Polyphony Digital to demand Logitech to make changes. Logitech makes products to work with everything and ALOT of games. GT5 is only for the PS3. It takes alot more to make something work for PS3 and PC than only PS3... Now, Polyphony Digital should adapt to the products out there, not the way around. I mean "Polyphony"... That is what I think anyway.

Anyone else who has this problem or is it only my G27 that is not behaving as it should be?

You are not alone out there,

I'm a G27 owner myself, and I'm having increasing problems with the G27 handling in the game.
Especially very fast cars as the F1GT and X2010 become undriveable. I had expected the G27 to work well with GT5 but it does not. It's awfull and driving in a straight line is a hell of a job with the two FF motors fighting each other all the time.
I sure hope that a patch will arrive any time soon, as buying the 500Euro Thrustmaster wheel is not the solution I have in mind ...

I just got my G27 and I'm also trying to figure out the "best" configuration for the wheel since it's not fully supported yet. I also noticed that using a fast car, driving in a straight line is challenging... almost impossible.

Why are you guys telling me this after I just spent over $450 for the G27 and wheelstand pro!!?!?!?!?!? 👎

There are much better simulators out there to enjoy your new wheel and stand with Dont fret

Never mind, just noticed the ancient OP.

What do u mean? Has the problem been fixed since?

I was wondering about the "new steering device" not realizing they just meant the T500RS. And yeah, there's a FFB level in the options menu. I know some people don't seem to believe it works, but I certainly noticed a difference.

I have a G27 too. I dont have much problem with my G27 or I would say ZERO problem currently. I can drive straight and fast. My FFB was set at 5. BTW, I have 2 G27 in my home. They both worked well.

The G27 is awesome.

Mine works great too. No issues driving in a straight line, fast car or not. I keep my FFB at 2 though. Otherwise I feel like i'm fighting it too much.

My G27 works perfectly, I use it on 5.

I´m having trouble with my F12010 and GRID.

My G27 has problems also, specifically with the x2010. I was able to gold all the x2010 events using my g27, but driving the x2010 in A-Spec is another story entirely. The force feedback in A-Spec compared with the Special events is ridiculous. Force feedback is set to 1, but it's still crazy strong and impossible to drive straight at high speed while in A-Spec. It handles nothing like the x2010 in the Special events. Perhaps the tuning is different, but I didn't change anything on any of my x2010s, and I assumed the Special events x2010 was stock. Tires are the same too.

It also makes a terrible grinding noise in the motor of the g27 if you run out of gas and keep driving.

I have my FF set at 10 in GT5 and its weak as hell

Can any of you guys tell me where this menu is? I have checked everywhere for it. I mean the one to adjust the ffb for the wheel. After an update mine dropped and I need to turn it back up again but don't know how.

Go to options on the opening menu of the game. Then scroll down 1 time to the second line of options(audio display etc). Then scroll right( the wheels are sort of hidden here). You need to scroll right and you will see there are more options.

OP, I think you are outdated. Or you miss something. All buttons worked well. You can customize it as well. All my buttons are working well. I'm racing everyday with my G27 on GT5 only. No issue as I can win too. Can't drive straight? Then, how I can win. I'm wondering.

The only car that has straight line problem are a few only. As mention in the forum. Pls search the forum for more info.

Maybe your wheel is giving problem. Ask for a swap.

Thanks mate. It's working like it should be now.
