Logitech G25-G27 Question

[scooterlord]

Hello everyone, so I need to ask whether these logitech wheels fully support GT5. I mean they are supposed to be six-speed and I can remember of the s2000 in GT5P that is 7-speed. What happens then? Moreover, when you select the F1 to play does it 'remove' the clutch and is used like real F1s? Shifting gears on the wheel?

And the real question. Do these sets have force feedback on the pedals? I mean, can you FEEL the braking, the gas, the clutch? What about force feedback on the stick shift?

 

[Leadfoot53]

Theres no FFB on the stick shift or pedals. The G27 is not out yet so i cant say. I use a g25, which can use the Stick shift OR paddles.

Any real car that has more than 6 gears does not have a normal stick shift. They all use paddles behind the wheeel, as you can with the G25/27.

Not actually true... my father has a Golf with a DSG and didn't add the option of paddles...

If he wants to use sequential mode - then he has to use the gear stick (pushed to the left of D)

In this case (the Amuse S2000) it has a sequential transmission like a racing car. Problem with the G27 is it doesn't offer the sequential shifter mode anymore like the G25, so paddles would have to be used.

I've heard the G25 has some very slight issues for GT5P, but the G27 should have non, its supposed to be designed for racing games, and PD has a close relationship with Logitech so it should be an awesome wheel.

Personally, im getting one, its perfect for a a home-made simulator if you want to spend thousands of dollars on just a wheel.

If you want force feedback on the Break look into getting a Fanatec Porsche Turbo S wheel with the Clubsport pedals. They will work on the PC, PS3, and the 360.

 

[scooterlord]

what kind of issues does it have with gt5p (and moreover gt5)? it's the main reason I am getting it. I would wait for the g27 to come out, but I dont want to miss the sequential shifter and the rest of its advantages are no use for double the price (I found the g25 for 150euros) - I dont want the extra buttons, I dont care about it being loud in use, I dont really mind for the pedals adjustments...

..or is there something else of greater importance that evades my awareness?

as for the fanatec wheel, 480euros sounds WAY to much just for a wheel.. ff on the pedals would be a plus but if you want it all you should also take a racing chair, etc, which I cant afford..

The G27 is fully compatible with GT5, says so right on Logitechs website. SO what ever issues the G25 has should be cleared up. This also probably means the G27 will be fully compatible with GT5.

It says the same on the G25 page.

Please note that the vibration function on the brake is not supported on gaming consoles so far.

G25 page mentions nothing of GT5P, it just says playstation 3 system, the G27 actually "Mentions in bold letter" compaitibale with Granturismo 5 prologue.


coppied from G27 section.

I thought thats what it read. Heres to hoping the G27 info will be updated in a few days.

Then it's not a normal stick shift is it? Plus, daan also said, "Any real car that has more than six gears". Any golf that has 7 gears has a DSG unit, all of which are equipped with paddles. Your father does not have a 7 speed Golf. As far as I know, any new DSG-equipped golf (regardless of engine type or number of gears) has paddles. I am therefore guessing that the Golf your father has is not that new (relatively speaking).

[RazzlDazzle]

To answer one of the main questions, the gas, brake, and clutch pedals as far as I know do NOT have Force Feedback, however each pedal has different spring strength. For example, I believe the gas has a light spring strength, the clutch with medium, and the brake with hard spring strength. Correct me if I'm wrong please, as I do NOT own a racing wheel of any kind at the moment, nor have I used one, and all information I'm giving is from what I've heard.

Also, the G25 has the sequential shift paddles behind the wheel, and the 6-speed stick shifter. I think you have to push a certain button at the beginning of each race to activate the clutch (so you don't have to use it). Push down on the shift knob to go into reverse, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong, again!

 

[the_fatadder]

Not a massive fan of the stick shift on my G25, the lack of resistance on the shift just feels so wrong, so much so I just seem to use the paddle shift (despite really disliking them when I have tried paddles in a real car, much preferring the good old stick shift.)

Incorrect Sir. It works with Forza 3 as it as built from the ground up to work with it. Thomas the main guy at Fanatec confirmed that it's in. Just haven't updated website yet.

Can't think of any car more normal than a VW Golf?!

NO - you're wrong - the DSG doesn't come with paddles - the paddles are an option.

His golf is a Mark 6 on an 09 plate...

did you miss the non dsg multifunchtion wheel right next to that? Does that mean i can get paddles with just a normal manual?

multifunction steering wheel just means you can control the stereo etc from the steering wheel.

I did start with, "as far as I know", which means I'm not 100%. I'm still not 100%, because all you showed me were two multi-function steering wheel options. If you have a manual, you buy one option, if you have DSG, you buy the other option. It says nothing about the standard steering wheel for DSG not having paddles.

I'm not saying you are wrong, just saying that the option of a multifunction wheel for DSG with paddles, in and of itself does not suggest the normal steerig wheel does not have them. It just means that it's a multifunction wheel with paddles, and hence is only available for DSG equipped cars.

Like I said, I don't really know, so it is what it is. What I do know, is that Audi do it right, and give you paddles on all DSG cars!

Awwww...diddums.

I already stated I'm not 100% sure on the whole paddle situation on the Golf, but still stand by the fact that the sale of a multifunction steering wheel with paddles does not mean the standard DSG wheel doesn't have them. It just means that if you buy a DSG equipped car, you can have a multifunction wheel if you want one. If you are incapable of comprehending that, you are a bigger idiot than I first thought.

 

[Punknoodle]

Come on guys get over it. Its no big deal.

I don't understand why anyone would be disagreeing with you, Yeti, as you obviously know the car, and know what gear box it has...

So please, lets just drop this

 

[daan]

Enough.

I realise that all this stemmed from my post when I neglected to consider that some cars use a sequential lever instead of paddles, but most of you need to grow up and stop the pointless arguments, and cut out the insults.

And just to finish the argument - because I'm left facing a flame...
