Slayer Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Since playing DCS I also picked up racing sims again... does anyone on here own a G25 Racing wheel? How is it and is it worth the price? Looks like the ultimate for racing sims but they still sell for a steep price tag. Thinking of picking up one off Ebay if I can find one cheap enough.

Looks like the ultimate for racing sims but they still sell for a steep price tag. Thinking of picking up one off Ebay if I can find one cheap enough. I own one. Had a Logitech DFP before. A huge leap ahead. The G25 is definitely worth the money. My favorite is the leather coated wheel. When you go for a endurance race (180min or something) you'll prefer leather over some rubber coating. Precision is awesome, FFB is fine, pedals are good (which worth mentioning for Logitech). Wheel position is tracked optical and the wheel has ball bearing. That promises a long life time. I have it since its release and no failure until now. There are some drawbacks though. The wheel is a bit slim. Some people complain about that. The shifter unit feels a bit like a toy (especially when compared to the wheel and pedals). So, IMHO the bottom line is: The price tag isn't steep at all.
soup55 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I have one and it is definately worth the price! I belong to iRacing and the FFB (2 motors) is spot on. But now that I have BS it sits in the corner. I'd be willing to sell it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] SOUP55:matrix:

I would miss the calibration process during start up :-) (And I'm hoping for more spare time that can be used for racing).
soup55 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 My dog used to wait and bark at that wheel every morning when I turned the computer on! Oh what the heck! A few laps never hurt! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] SOUP55:matrix:
