Anybody care to share impressions?

I have a DFP, which is a smooth, precise wheel, but the cog slack kinda
drives me nuts (clicking sound when changing rotation directions;
'dead', no-tension feeling when on a straight; etc.). Does the G25
eliminate that, or just reduce it?

How does the FF feel? $200 better? How about the turn speed?

Also, a general question for players with clutch pedals: how useful is
a clutch in a videogame, given that you can't actually feel it connect?
I remember an old arcade game (Hard Drivin') that had a force feedback
clutch, which was amazing, but I'm not sure how useful/fun/immersive a
clutch will be in a videogame without that feedback.

Anyway, I'd love to hear any impressions of the G25's
wheel/shifter/pedals.

I love it. It plays extremely well with LFS S3 and GTR 3. GPL 2 needs a bit
of messing around in the menus but then it feels as good as the other games.

IMHO DFP is better in my GTR4, but in GPL 3 the Momo is best.

Besides with  GTL 2 me sticks with the LFW.

For rFactor 2 get a G25.  :-)

Are you a visitor from the future.

Have they fixed the AI passing AI in GTR 3? What's GPL 2 like, which season
is it based on?

Maybe in November, when they actually ship :)

I don't recall the clutch pedal on hard/race drivin' doing any sort of
force feedback.  What was it like?  How did it work?

They've already begun shipping.  Dell has them on their site with
"usually ships within 24 hours"

I'll be damned as I did the same with my ECCI
