I've got the same wheel , the brake pedal sticks on mine so a quick call to Logitech should get that sorted . Other than that a good wheel, and with my home made stand make a good combination .

I'm using my old Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel from my PS2, that one that came out when GT4 was released back in the day.... (about 6 years old now?!?) Must say Logitech do make some good quality kit that seems to just last.

I am tempted by a new G27 though.... anyone got one yet?

I've had the logitech G25 for a couple of years now, got of the bay for £99, since owning it i can't play racing games with a controller anymore.

Tried F1 2010 the other day but was disapointed with the lack of feeling the cars have compared to GT5, understerr on GT5 you can feel with the wheel going light but on F1 2010 the car plows on with no change in the feedback.

Does your G25 work properly with GT5... more specifically.... does the clutch and H-pattern gearbox work exactly as described?..... or would it be a redundant pedal and better to use the gearbox in sequential mode?

I have heard it's not fully supported like the dfgt but as far as I'm aware the g25 and g27 work well with gt5

I've just bought one of these.... http://www.gtomegaracing.com/

but it's killing me waiting for the 28th Feb delivery date!

G25 to follow, or maybe a G27 if I can find one cheap enough (I have 2 months to save!)

Played a G25 and GameRacer on a mate's PS3. Made me decide to buy a rig there and then! You can have full shifter support on GT5.... choose manual, and as the race countdown starts (have the gearstick in neutral) press Triangle. then you can use the clutch and full manual support.

Clutch and H-pattern gearbox work, when entering the race you have it in nuetral and press triangle to activate and away you go, you can also use the H-pattern box without the clutch, just don't press the triangle button.

Thanks for your replies guys.....

Ahhh... I'm sooo tempted to get a G27 now....

I love the DFP I've already got but the lure of a proper clutch is killing me.

>BuRR.... Logitech direct are selling them for £199 at the mo.... cheapest around I think. If you use a cashback site you can get another £20ish off on top....

Cheers for the link! Will have to wait until at least 20th January (maybe even February) before I can afford though - £500 outlay for a £35 game

**edit** - showing £249 here - http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/gaming...s/devices/5184 - do you have another link, please?

**edit** - £209 here - http://bit.ly/dY2Y34

**edit** - got it.
- £249 for the item (Logitech).
- minus 20% trade-in voucher when you send in an old Logitech product
- 9% cashback from Quidco (or similar)
- makes for (about) £180 cost.

I've got a g25 but need to mount it, i.e a wheelstand pro, see my other thread as I can't find anyone selling it. You don't necessarily need a g27 btw, the g25 is just as good imo, some think it's better than it's newer brother.
