I'm considering buying a g25, but still am rather happy with my dfp
wheel and the usb-converted TSW2 pedals. I find the g25 shifter a little
too plasticky in its feel. I'll probably get one when the dfp finally
breaks (it self-repaired like the famed McLaren car about half a year
ago ;-).
Cheers, uwe

Mine already works in Vista and was labelled as a Vista driver
when I downloaded...?
Cheers,

I would kick myself if I waited too long and they were not available
anymore.

(I still don't ever see your posts on the Giganews newfeed Uwe; only
when someone quotes you.)

That's weird indeed. My posts arrive at google news just fine, so maybe
you'd want to contact your newsmaster at giganews, forward them the
article id and headers and ask them why the post never made it into
their servers. You never know what other good stuff you might be
missing! ;-D
All the best, uwe

Frankly, gated shifting doesn't make a lot of sense these days unless you
are running Nascar racing games. No one else uses them in real life for the
most part.
The Sequential mode of the shifter is hosed because they used analog pots
instead of buttons for engagement, and they are not alignable. I've gone
through two shifters for the same reason. Pushing forward to go up a gear
takes 3 times the travel as pulling back to downshift a gear, and in a lot
of cases the pull back doesn't 'satisfy' the pot reading algorythm, I miss
the downshift, and off into the tire wall I go. It's especially bad for
corners that require several fast downshifts at once, like a hairpin at the
end of a long straight.
We need a utility to calibrate the shifter. It only needs one button that
says:
"THE DAMNED SHIFTER IS IN THE CENTER POSITION. CENTER THE DAMNED POTS NOW!"
Really, is that too much to ask for :)

It feels like buttons. No ambiguity on mine.
Maybe open up the unit and see what's interfering. Do you have the mode
switch turned the full half turn ccw?
I'm starting to see the picture. Does *anything* work?
Cheers,
Rod.
Apart from hundreds of racing series, from Caterhams to historics.
Never had a problem with mine, dear boy.
