Logitech G25

Thinking about getting one. Any issues about getting it to work with GPL or
NR2003?

I also read the gearstick is not that great. Could I use the wheel and
pedals with my ACT Labs shifter (gearstick)?

Cheers

Steve

I just use the wheel paddles for gear changes -- mostly because I was
used to doing it that way from previous wheels.

The gearshift has one important drawback (at least in my house): it
makes a loud click as you change gears. My wife is sleeping in the
other bedroom when I'n doing most of my racing, and the noise bothers
her. Other than the noise, I've had no issues with the shifter
(although, I only tried it briefly before going back to using the
paddles.)

The wheel set works fine with both games you name. Other drivers in my
NR2003 league mentioned how my driving is much smoother with the G25,
compared to what it was like with my old LWFF wheel.

I really like mine. When it was new, I could smell the leather around
the steering wheel. Ahhh!

Haha I see what you mean about the gear shift noise. LOL damn near louder
than the car!

I find the gearstick is perfectly fine in sequential mode but feels
unlike a real gear lever in h-pattern mode and makes a lot of clicking
noises.

Overall it is a fine wheel and pedals and I would recommend it.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work with the act-labs shifter, both are
usb devices and should show up as separate controllers you can select
the controls from to mix & match.

Thanks Chaps

Any known issues with pots or switches wearing out? Does the wheel use a pot
or is it solid state?

Cheers

Haven't heard of any switch issues, or had any problems myself. There
is no potentiometer in the G25, at least not in the classical sense.
Positioning is handled onboard one of the motors with what appears to
be an optical or magnetic sensor.

Wheel - Optical.
Pedals - Pots (industry standard and p/n's are available).
Shifter - Pots. Not sure if industry standard or not.

On the G25? Mine seems to have problems shifting into 5th
after normal use. It gets stuck going from 4th as if there's
a lip on the gate, catching the shifter. Not good when you're
racing.

On the whole, the gated shifter is the let down on the G25.
The wheel and pedals are absolutely superb. If you put the
shifter into sequential mode, acceptable. In gated mode, I'm
not a fan. I pick 4 speeds when I play GTL and it's GTR
counterpart to avoid shifting into 5th.

Cheers,
Rod.

Hi, Steve!

Of course, the shifter only contains springs and switches.
Some will never "get it", although they never calibrated those
mystic "pots"...

The shifter has no switches. They are pots. This came directly from
Logitech support.
