anyone use the logitech g25 gaming control? is it worth it to drop $300 for it. it comes with a 900 degree steering wheel, a 6 speed shifter and .... clutch- brake- gas pedals with different resistances. ive had my eye on it since it came out.

I've had one since they were first released. Usually use it for Gran Turismo, but I use it on my PC occasionally (or I used to). It's in my cockpit setup now though, so not as portable.

If you have GT5 Prologue it's worth every penny... I was playing it last night at my cuz's place and it's the perfect racing experience on any console.. Suzuka in a Aston DB9 online is the bomb... in the Pro PP600 event... you can't get any better experience than the H pattern and the clutch... it's what makes it the most realistic sim..

I tried it at my buddies place with his gaming chair and it takes video games to a while different level. I cannot wait until the whole version of GT5 is released.
I too have had the g25 since it came out, I only paid $250.00 shipped (dont rememeber where though)
I played it with the pc game GTR2 (awesome sim) and also with GTHD and GT5P. Then it broke, I called logitech and they asked for the serial number and shipped me a complete new one within days. They said the actual motors cannot be repaired for some reason. Anyway, I was very impressed with the customer service and this second unit has held up just fine.
The Force Feed back is the best I have experienced with out spending over a grand on full blown sim gear. I love the clutch pedal and the h shifter.... only draw back is if you have big feet (I wear a twelve) the stock pedal housing has the pedals a bit close together, but I do know it is easy to take apart and remount in your own cockpit with better spacing....

Same here. My old school logitech wheel is beyond it's life support, so no Vista drivers will be released... meaning I guess I'm in the market for a new wheel. Seems kind of silly given that the one I have still works perfectly.BorHor;1085677 said:Yeah. It is a pretty fun game. I need to try the wheel with it though
When you guys say cockpit I'm picturing the middle third of an MkIII sitting in your living room :rofl:

Well I tried to sell the damn shell, then said screw it.... Honey, can we move the coffee table over just a hair? :biglaugh:
I remembered the website I got my wheel from: www.PCnation.com its 259.21and gets free shipping, but its on backorder now.....
I built my cockpit using the seat from my AE86, going to use the center console with cupholder and wire in the e-brake as well. It will be so FTW it's not even funny.

I'm going to do this as well, I have a spare shifter Im going to take apart and rewire one of the buttons for a real e-brake.
Jeff are you going to use a pressure switch or ?
Because it will only be wired into one of the momentary buttons on the G25, I will be using the stock switch on the e-brake handle that is used to turn the light on the dash in the car on. I will have it adjusted to grab probably 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up the pull and will use a strong spring on it to simulate the resistance of a real e-brake.
