unreal for $300. Let's see...
The 900 degrees rotation is killer. Actually releasing the wheel to
let it unwind coming out of a corner is really cool. Maybe not safe in
real life, but cool nonetheless. Also, I'm not sure what the technique
is called, but doing the hand shuffling thing on the wheel through the
corners is a lot of fun. I do that in real life for autocrossing,
etc., but now it can be done and practiced in a sim.
Clutch pedal. I've used the ACT Labs performance pedals and shifter in
the past, so this isn't something brand new. The pedals are very nice,
though, and the shifter works great. The thing that has always been
missing with the use of a clutch in a sim is real feedback so that you
can feel the clutch engage. I've invented a new device that gives all
the seat of the pants feeling from in-sim handling forces, and that
transforms the experience. Driving a sim car with a clutch is finally
a meaningful activity. Look for more news soon!
Everything about it is just, so... nice. Assuming the G25 will be
durable in the long run it's a really amazing product.
The only complaint I have relates to the mounting features on the
shifter unit. I have a glass top on my computer desk that is only
about 3/16" thick. The wheel attaches to the glass successfully, but
the shifter doesn't fully clamp. I have to use a thin book to take up
the space on the shifter clamps.
If you have the means to acquire a G25, I highly recommend it.
