Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel

[imprecis]

I have decided that I want to buy this steering wheel. I would also like to order the Playseat Trophy. Unfortunately, the G Edition version is unavailable, so I am considering the standard version. Does the standard version of the Playseat Trophy come with screws to attach the Logitech G Pro steering wheel and pedals?

The mounting is not fully compatible. You need to drill additional holes if I remember correctly. Not sure about the screws, but most likely they're not attached. This was a big reason I picked Logitech edition. It's available on:

https://www.amazon.pl/Playseat-Trophy-Logitech-G-Edition/dp/B0BSTFS6W5/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=IZ7BPKQUGASY&keywords=playseat+trophy+logitech&qid=1681795949&sprefix=playseat+trophy+lo%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-1

Not sure why it's so expensive now. I paid ~2800zl for it 1 month ago.

I have the non-G edition, I didn't drill any extra holes and just bolted the wheel and pedals down with whatever bolt holes lined up. It has been absolutely fine like that on max torque for thousands of in game miles.

It doesn't come with hardware to mount the wheel. The pedals might have done? I honestly can't remember... They're a standard size, albeit quite short, so easy to pick up, I had some around at home already fortunately.

yeah its just 3 x M6 bolts of whatever length you need to mount to your rig. I guess thats why they don't include them in the package. Everyone has a slightly different setup and needs different length. I think I needed 15mm bolts to mount to my Playseat Challenge

Yes, I saw the amazon price, something is wrong with their pricing.
Could you please measure the screws? Or check in the manual?

• You will need 3 x M6 bolts (not included in the package) with a maximum depth inside the wheelbase of 15mm. Remember to account for the thickness of the surface that you are attaching the wheelbase to.

I don't have a manual anymore, but I can measure it when I'm at home.

Good to know. I think I read on reddit that not all holes aligned perfectly. It was for pedals if I remember correctly.

I dont have the trophy but the NLR F-GT. And had a similar problem that the 3 screws didnt fit. So intstead for drilling new holes, i used the two in the back of the wheel, and just used the table clamp that is included when you buy the wheel at the front. Works like a charm.

I'm not sure about the standard Trophy rig fittings (they'll probably have info on their site) but here's a link to the setup details for the Pro and pedals.

The G edition is available on Amazon.pl by the looks of it. Ah ignore me, I didn't notice the price (and the other responses that had come in already).

 

[Turboracer]

It's a truly spectacular combination. GPRO+Trophy

 

[imprecis]

For anyone going for Trophy, I highly recommend buying an HF8 pad & putting it underneath it (but be sure to wrap it well with the trophy with the bottom belts, so there is not too much pressure on it). Simhub is required to get full immersion from it. After I used it, I cranked up in-game FFB from 5 to 8 and TF from 35 to 50 because they felt too weak in comparison to sensations created by the pad. It makes the Logitech G Pro wheel feel like a more complete experience.

 

[Mateusz90]

The steering wheel with pedals has been ordered, I hope it will arrive by Friday. 💪

Does anyone know for sure if the standard version of the Playseat Trophy has all the same mounting holes for the steering wheel and pedals as the G Edition version? In Poland, the Logitech G Edition version can only be ordered on Amazon at an unnaturally high price (maybe a currency conversion error or such a high margin?).

The difference between the standard version and the G Edition is about $200.

I don't want to have to drill additional holes...

I will buy the mounting screws, so it's not a problem.

I hope that Logitech will offer a decent Pro Shifter because otherwise, I will be limited in Gran Turismo to only using vehicles without a manual gearbox.

Thanks for the support!

 

[LOGI_Rich]

The standard version hasn't been updated with the all six holes however, you genuinely don't need to secure the pedals with every bolt hole that's available.

Concentrate on the two "bottom" holes of the pedal base and make sure they're tight, then the pedals won't move at all.

Not sure if people here are aware of the dodgy power connector causing FF to drop and the wheel needing a restart. I have the problem and I've seen others complaining about it as well.
Pushing the power connector upwards makes the FF flatline everytime and any violent effects in games means instant loss of FF. It's a disastor. I have a piece of junk holding the connector in place to stop it bouncing. Be VERY cautious using it and I would suggest anyone thinking of buying this wheel think otherwise.

Interesting, I suggest reading a related post regarding random wheel disconnects, because that is my issue. I didn't have any issue with the power cable though on any of the units I had.

 

[Substance79]

You plug the wheel into the TV??

This power fault is some short happening when the connector is physically adjusted by levering it upwards. The FF drops but often the other wheel functions are still running(steering and buttons).

@LOGI_Rich is there another Pro Wheel firmware update today? When my PC launched, GHub said there's one, but I'm not sure if its just now picking up the update that released a few days ago?

There's been no other firmware update. If you hadn't already applied the one we released last week then that's just indicating that G HUB only now updated.

@Substance79 that suggests that at some point too much downward pressure has been applied to the connector. Please get in touch with support to get an RMA arranged.

Interesting. Strange. I applied last week's update on the day you advised us of it.....

Check the firmware versions in G HUB. As long as it looks like this then you're up to date:

Read it carefully or don't ask at all.

The connector is absolutely solid, an industry standard version used on countless devices. Both my units have had very solid power connection, connector firmly plugged in with zero play, never had a single issue with the power causing FF dropouts. Must be a faulty unit then. As suggested you should RMA it.

 

[Mateusz90]

I just received a tracking link for my Logitech shipment. I was also able to order the Playseat Trophy Logitech Edition at the regular price, so even better.

I have to admit, the amount of conflicting information on the internet is a bit worrying. Trueforce seems to be getting the most hate for some reason. I hope it turns out to be a useful addition in Gt7.

Is there anyone here who previously used TGT-2 and TLCM and now uses the G Pro set?

If so, is there a big difference between these steering wheels? Is the brake pedal travel comparable between these pedals? In the TLCM, with two red springs and five washers, the distance the brake pedal traveled was ok. I would like the G Pro pedal to be just as stiff or stiffer.

Hi new to the forum and the whole sim racing scene currently own a Logitech G Pro Wheel and loving the experience so far
I’m currently playing GT7 but would like to get into PC racing as well
I have got ACC and had no problems with the wheel but I downloaded a trial version of Automobilista 2 and for the life of me I can’t get the wheel to work am I missing a setting or is is it because it’s a trial or is the wheel not supported
Any help or advice would be really appreciated

Industry standard? The acer predator monitor used with this has the same connector type with massive play in it and never fails. The wheel connector happens to be significantly tighter, very little play except some small bit upwards. Might want to double check yours to see if there's a slight upwards play and a few taps UP while putting pressure on the wheel to make sure you haven't just been lucky.

I see what you're saying about the hdmi, I watched the video now. No need to get snarky.

 

[IfAndOr]

@Substance79 I'm a little confused. Is it the connection on the wheelbase or the one on the transformer you seem to be having trouble with when levering, pushing and tapping about? I'd assume the wheelbase?

I'm not sure how "violent effects" would cause a securely mounted base to move that much the power connector bounces! Mine is only secured to a desk using the supplied single clamp and it's been absolutely fine, no movement. Even at higher torque settings in ACC.

I would like the G Pro pedal to be just as stiff or stiffer.

If you're used to using a load cell brake you might find the pedal as supplied a little soft. If you're using a rig I'd suggest swapping out the elastomers to some of the stiffer one's provided. The brown topped foam plus the red and brown elastomers are the stiffest combination. You can then adjust the brake force to suit. I currently use the yellow and brown to give me a little bit more travel.

Ignore the internet. Trueforce is the complete FFB system not just the extra effects, many reviews don't seem to understand that.
The additional effects it also gives are great - if adjusted to a suitable level to add immersion not intrusion.

is is it because it’s a trial or is the wheel not supported

I'm not a PC user but I see that AMS2 is listed on the Logi site as being compatible*, complete with suitable settings for it. Seems to be Trueforce enabled as well so that's good. So maybe it's just the trial version that's the problem. Perhaps someone else might help.

*It suggests using the wheel's G923 compatibility mode. Might be worth a try.

I'm using a foldable wheel stand which has forward and backwards flex when things get rough - that jiggles the cable.
Wheel base connection. Ok having flex isn't ideal but it is what it is and no power connector should short out with a minor push.

I won't be RMAing because the small foam is working perfectly.

Still, having to hack an €1100 product that's just out of the box is terrible.

 

[IfAndOr]

Ah I see, sorry I'd mistakenly assumed it was the wheelbase. 👍

I'd say it's probably not a short but the internal connection disconnecting momentarily when wriggled. You might hear the spark. Have you tried a different cable. Perhaps swap to the one on your monitor it might help.

@LOGI_Rich Quick Playseat Challenge question for you. When using your Pro Wheel with the Challenge, what brake force % do you have the wheel set at?

Ya I got the impression it's internal. While wriggling the wire to test, the palm of the hand is on the steel mount and I believe I feel static when it cuts out.
Good idea using the monitor lead except..it won't fit because it has some moulding of it's own. https://postimg.cc/XGWQJ2wp

@CustomX Around 25-30kg

@Substance79 I’d be amazed if the flex in the stand has caused that. Based on what you’re describing it sounds like what I suggested previously - either a downward force has been applied to the connector or the power brick is weighing on it at some point.
