G27/G25/(DFGT?) - Undocumented wheel lock settings - Guide

[wedjim]

Adapting to the G29 requires a serious amount of ability, or radical changes to its base settings.

Undriveable at this point. Even with all the cool gadgets I thought would make the experience more enjoyable.

A few years I had one like you got, I ended up buying a rig without the bar in the middle, your cool rig will be ok if you swap the brake pedal to the clutch position and the clutch to where the brake was for left foot braking if you do that.

Thanks for the input! I haven't been bothered by the center pole, since I keep a bit of knee bend in the adjustments maybe? ...the steering feel is a different story, lol. But it was getting better right up until my PS3 stopped working.

Hey!

I would like to purchase a used G27 base only, used. Anyone have one collecting dust?

Cheers!

Sorry to respond to an old thread, but your suggestion piqued my interest in this possibility again.

I have a similar setup. I left foot brake & paddle shift; I removed my clutch pedal pad to facilitate access to center mounted brake pad.

I assume you are suggesting swapping the connections for the pedals, not the physical pedals as they appear similar.

Again, sorry for not researching for this info in another thread, but I just read this one today & would like to try this swap procedure. Another question, are the stock clutch & brake pedal springs tensions identical?

No problem 👍. The stock clutch & brake pedal springs tensions seems to be identical when applying pressure.

Love it when a thread from 11 years ago solves a problem.

Found three undocumented settings from G27, one of them removes deadzone from center, is this "we know it already" stuff and no need for topic at all?

Personally haven't know it before.

Instructions later if people think at this is something what they want to know.

[1+2] + O = ~670°
[1+2] + S = ~450°
[1+2] + X = 900° Resets to default
[1+2] + T = ~240°


1 and 2 buttons goes down almost same time, I have used order 1-2 and then selection without any specific delay, then releasing selection key and also 1 and 2 buttons.
*After many tests can say at just hold 1+2 down and then select TSOX-mode which you want to use.
Have done it everywhere, on track, on menus, so doesn't matter where, only doing it after wheel calibration, 'coz calibration resets these modes.
If you keep small tension on wheel when switching to 0deadzone mode you feel small klak and movement of wheel.
After successful mode change you feel it when turning wheel toward lock, there will be a FFB-engine powered lock what you feel on chosen radius.

I have figured this out yesterday so not much testing yet, hopefully somebody have time to test this also on PC, 100% sure at it will have effect on PS3.
Hardware coded feature, works on PS3 and PC.

G25 confirmed also to work same as G27
Works also on DFGT (1=start 2=select) (some works, some not..weird)

If you like it please tell me it also, and if understanding better some of those modes please tell here it also and we'll update this post.
