G25 wheel users reviews

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.

Besides with GTL 2 me sticks with the LFW. For rFactor 2 get a G25. :-)

What's GPL 2 like, which season is it based on?

Maybe in November, when they actually ship :) -Larry "Eric Tetz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

What was it like? How did it work? Pat Dotson

They've already begun shipping. Dell has them on their site with "usually ships within 24 hours" Scott Larry wrote: > Maybe in November, when they actually ship :) > > -Larry > -- Scott B. Husted http://www.RacingHistorian.com
