Hi folks, I've been thinking about replacing my momo dfp wheel with a new and shiny g25 now that the latter have come down in price somewhat (I've seen them on the web for around 188 Euros). As I'm still using my trusty old USB-converted TSW2 pedals with the dfp as a separate controller, I was wondering how the g25 pedals compare to the TSW product. Has anybody used both and give an honest opinion here? I like the added clutch pedal as my tsw's only feature throttle and brake, but how about durability and so on? The TSW's are virtually indestructible as they're only metal and wood, while the g25 pedals seem to have their fair share of plasticky looking parts. For the record, my tsw pedals look a lot like those: http://www.thomas-superwheel.com/prod_img/large/CON_Analog_Stock.jpg Thanks in advance for your comments & looking forward to hearing from you, Uwe
Hi Uwe, I have owned a BRD combo and ECCI wheel and pedals. Now using G25 setup and I am very happy with it. Pedals are very sturdy and the force feedback is excellent. Steve P

I've had BSW wheel and pedals here for ages, and have only recently gone to a new G25 wheel and pedal set-up. Don't be fooled by the plastic, the G25 is very well made and very sturdy, it has good FF and will last you a long time, so is well worth the money. 8-) *Peter*
you will like it very much, Uwe use the same "windows" setup/configuration everyone was using for the MOMO's (IE centering spring ON, but set to 0 etc etc etc...) I set mine to only turn 300 degrees (for quicker turning). "Uwe Sch�rkamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Under the plastic the G25, particularly the pedals, are one of the best designs ever. Especially for the price. The wheel is also very good. The shifter? Not so much. The shiftter is WAY out of character with the rest of the kit. -Larry "Uwe Sch�rkamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
