View Full Version : Logitech G25
hello guys, ive got a logitech g25 wheel,with the clutch and gearstick, i was just wondering if the Testdrive has a gear stick system on it, as i play on "Live For Speed" it has a shifter option and i can use my shifter as u would in a rear car and also use my clutch, does any1 know if this sort of thing is avaliable on TEST DRIVE. i hope it is, because thats 1 of the reasons i got this wheel :P:P cheers

I dont know about the shifter option but I can thell you that my DFP worked perfectly in TDU and the forcefeedback is fairly good in it too. BTW ill be buying a G25 myself next week.
ok:D, ive had mine for about 2 months, is all working fine, broke once lol shifter got messed up jumping gears etc. but is all working fine on this 1, is there is a shifter option on TDU id be most happy

No shifter option but it may be added in the public release.
There is a shifter option because my brother was using his g25 with everything working fine and that was on the beta.

Don't reply if you have no idea what you are talking about, please!
There is indeed support for the G25, because i have one, and i've used it!
It works great, although i would like to see the FF to be a bit more advanced.
You can use the Manuel Gearbox and Clutch, no problem...

According to the FAQs found in these forums:
Will the PC version support Force feedback steering wheels and H-shifters?
Yes. (developer) sources have said that force feedback wheels and H style gear shifters will be supported in TDU. the PC version of the game has been optimised for the logitech G25.
Lucky you. :)

When I do a search for logitech g25 I get: 'RGT Force Feedback Pro Clutch Edition (PC)' at the top of the list. Is that the one you are talking about?
ermm dont think so lol, its a logitech g25 :P

Sir Yes SIR. I shall retreat to my tent now

hi james, remember me? :P! the wheel works awsome with the game, got it myself!
stew2000 is around here to :P
As far as I know, TDU was developed and tested using G25 so all options should work fine.
Yes there is h shifter,
but is you are driving lets say ferrari 460 you can only use shift paddles, so it depends of what car you are driving which is a cool thing, it automaticely switches from h shifter to shift paddles

Might anyone be able to recommend a different wheel control for the PC, ideally one cheaper than that one?

Yeh you can if u look in the game description it talk about an option for clutch and 'H shifter' which is short for 6 speed and reverse.

Another one checking in :salut2: MGJames, as everyone else has said, using the G25 with TDU is a pleasure, in some ways better support than in LFS, for example its possible to stall the cars, and in ones sold from the factory with paddle-shift, TDU automatically switches over to that. The FF isn't too bad either.

There is one question that i have...
If i put it on 900 degree steering , like in real life, will it be speed sensitive like in real cars. because in NFS Carbon it wasnt and its really hard to drive...

The FF isn't too bad either.That was fun at first trying not to stall the cars while using the clutch. But the FF needs abit more work though, if we can have some FF effects that will be great, also I hope they fix the issue with the wheel vibrating when the car aint moving or in menus, it appeared during the Open BETA, but not the Closed so that was something weird which i hope is fixed before release.
kewl, even stall :P lol ill be read up properly on it ina min, but overall its ticking all my boxes:P

LFS is still in alpha phase though...
LFS is a stayer, TDU is something I probably play in between.
btw: stalls will come my friend... (not now though)
I've got an G25, but with the demo it didn't really work as I hoped. The steeringwheel di'dn't had a real feel to it. It had no recistance of any sort.
So I put on the force feedback in the menu, but then when you steer to the left, the wheel itself jerks to the left. The same thing when steering to the right.
So the only way to properly drive with the wheel is without force feedback but then the wheel doesn't put itself in a straight position.
Anybody know what's wrong or is it suposed to be this way :hin:
Yes, in your logitech profiler in Device options or something like that you have to put tick in the box where is says "centre the whell where availible" or something like that.
It's the solution for my Formula force.
Hope to buy G25 soon.

I bought a G25 last week and I dont have that problem. Did you try setting the effects to reversed because this sometimes works in some games.
I'll check it out when I get home and then I'll write exactly what has to be done/changed.
I did try to check the reverse force feedback but then it's just the other way around, when I tried to steer left the steering wheels kept going to the right.
But it's a little bit hard to change settings in tdu now without a beta right :hin:
Ore can I change those in the little setup program wich got installed with the g25? The logitech gaming software??
i dunno, my settings are in wingman are:
Overall settings 70
100
100
spin to centre (unticked)
just because of LFS the cars handle like real, and if i have any other settings the steering feels light and **** lol, once i get it on tuesday ,"wen its out" ill have a wee fiddle lol

I honestly dont have the same problem you have. I have force feedback effects set to maximum and Linearity set to maximum (for more realistic steering) The only time it jerks to one side on me is when I hit a bump.

Yes, change it in Logitech game profiler.
Yes, change it in Logitech game profiler.
Well I didn't really get this program :noooo:
You can create gaming profiles ore something like that, but then you have to set al the buttons manually. And than there are all axes and everything I have to change than. And that was just al little to technical for me if i have to be honoust!
Unfortunately, I'm at work now so I can't check it out, but I'll do that tommorow morning and I'll write it here.
You can use profiler to setup your controller and calibrate it aswell as make some changes in game profiles. For expl. some games don't have dead zone, senisitivity etc. so you can change and adjust that with your profiler. You don't have to use that if you don't want to.
OK, this is how it works for me. Now, I must repeat that I have Wingman Formula Force GP.
In your Logitech profiler go to Options and then to Global device settings; you'll then get the window like shown on the picture. Put the tick in the box where it says Enable centering spring in force feedback games.

I just tought how hard would it be to remowe the driver hands from the interior wiev and make the wheel rotate 900 degrees like a g25. I have only a logitech momo but still i think its better if the wheel rotates more in the game than on my desk. It just feel so much more realistic in that way.

Allright thanks verry much for this, i'm not home right now but as soon as I am I wil try this out.
BTW I just remembered that I also didn't have 900 degrees steering. The wheel could turn 900 degrees but ingame it only steered a quater ore something. THen in game you where steering 100% but I could turn the wheel a lot further without something happening in the game. Is it possible to set this there to???

22-02-2007, 20:28
Lol, that's totally wrong...
combined pedals... 0.o
centering spring... 0.o
ah well, maybe it must be that way in TDU... :/
I play LFS, so I don't know anything at all.

My settings for all games
I've just bought G25 and I must say that I'm very satisfied with it and most of all with the quality.
With it and with my new configuration I can't wait to get my TDU DVD and take some Maserati GT for a spin. mdr1
I haven't had the chance tot test it all, but was the Hardcore Mode also in the beta? The physics really didn't appeal to me that much, but I realise this isn't meant to be the next LFS or GTR. But I'm wondering, will the hardcore mode be a significant realism change? And does en G25 help... perhaps? Who can tell? :p
I have a question for all G25 users.
When I start my PC and while it's booting, the wheel turns the full cycle on the left and on the right and returns to the centre. Then when the windows start it repeats the action one more time... like it's calibrating.
Does this happens to you also or should I change something it the settings? The wheel works fine.. I've tested it on LFS and it's great! :bravo:
THX in advance.

Jep my g25 does it to. I prefer to test it again with test drive though mdr1
THX guys.
About the Test drive... me too. :atari:
I've got my tdu copy mdr1
Now I can finaly try to calibrate my g25 correctly :rolleyes:
Yes there is h shifter,

I noticed that....why does it do that?
Thanks
Cause some models in some versions don't have manual gearshift.
Might anyone be able to recommend a different wheel control for the PC, ideally one cheaper than that one?
The only other wheel that comes close is the RED (and only the RED) Momo from Logitech. It too has ball bearings and feels like a real wheel. Most (if not all) others do not use ball bearings. Without ball bearings the wheel will wobble and feel cheap and unrealistic.

Ahhh, thanks, I thought it was a bug. So is this the case for all (new) Ferrari's? I tried a few (using test drive) and the shifter did not work for any....obviously it works for other cars ;-)
I guess I'll have to re-assign the paddle shifters back to shifting gears...
Thangs again

I can't get my G25 wheel to function completely. I've enabled the wheel in the settings. The steering works, but I cannot get the pedals to work. Every time I try to assign a function to one of the pedals, it gives an error and tells me to move the control in a single axis. THAT'S ALL I'M DOING!
ideas? Thoughts?

My G25 broke a couple of months ago :noooo: I don't think I'll get another one. Two months ago I officially declared that I will stop spending money for games. :laugh:

I distinctly remember someone else asking this exact question about a month or so ago and there was a solution posted. I'll see if I can find it.

yep, about two weeks ago Doobrie. you again? hi! you're all over this forum. haha.
the answer? don't enable the pedal axis centring option thingy. this is what I mean.
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u6/pogostickio/wheel-1.jpg
and the H-Shifter will not work for cars that have flappy paddle gear change shifters behind the steering wheel in real-life.
I once tried to catch some people out with that question and Ryzza blew me outta the water. yay Ryzza. :salut2:
and... unplug any other USB bits and bobs you've got connected to your pc. they might be causing conflictions to your wheel.
to repeat what I said elsewhere yesterday... If I leave my wheel plugged when I load up Gear of War then Marcus Fenix runs around in circles which is a fun to watch but no good for playing the game.

If the controller you're using to play GoW doesn't have Force-feedback, then check the options of the game to see if you can disable FF. You're G25 should be as quiet as a moose - I mean a mouse.
In response to the q's about calibrating when Windows boots, it has a little to do with the reset of the computer hardware, and they the mobo supplies power to USB ports during bootup. My old Core2Duo PC would make the G25 calibrate about 3 or 4 times, but my current one only does it once (doesn't give power to the device until Windows is ready for it with drivers and what not).
armeav8r
04-06-2009, 02:14
That did it. You've got to deselect "combined axis" AND auto centering for the force feedback.
Even then, it appears TDU recalibrates internally every time you go into controls rather than using the windows settings. Seems silly, but it worked after several attempts.
Thanks for your help.
