Awesome. If only I could justify a new wheel - but I'm a PC gamer only and GRID was the last one that really did it for me on the realism front.

Oh for Forza/GT!

Well F1 2010 is coming out in 2 weeks on PC/PS3 by codemasters, same guys who made grid. graphics and gameplay will be better than grid.

I prefer the multi car type games, thanks for the suggestion though! Instead I'll have to save $325 and continue to cut myself over not getting GT5 :'(

You should try rFactor. Some of the mods that have come out in the recent years have been excellent (Série Internationale Du Mans, Endurance Series by Enduracers, F1 2006 by CTDP, FSONE2009). Realism in physics, modelling, sound, etc are all up there and even better than a lot of the "commercial" games. Plus you can drive on pretty much every single track you can think of.

The offer of $325 was open to everyone last week, but then they pulled if off, im assuming due to high demand and the release of f12010 and gt5 soon.

On the weekend they issued a code and it expired on the 12th.

i found out about the code and the expiry of the $325 after the 12th.

The new code was only issued last night and expired midnight i think.

will let you know if new code is released.

It's not the same as that special from the Logitech Shop, but its still not anywhere near what some people are charging for them!

They might be able to get it cheaper.i had a reseller account with a whole bunch of wholesalers and sadly the reseller prices were no were near as cheap as PLE. this was the case before i closed the business down 6months ago....may be different now although i doubt it.

Phyber

That's pretty much it. Our shop has logins to dozens of wholesalers but we routinely get shafted on laptops/hard drives/whatever by the likes of NetPlus, OfficeWorks and others. They sell to public at prices BELOW our buy price sometimes.

"Oh you want a printer? Go to Officeworks mate."

Hardware = no profit. Unless you buy in dozen pallets minimum it seems!

You should upgrade, totally different. Infact you should just give me your G25 as it's useless and I will dispose of it for you.

haha no not worth upgrading IMO

G25
+Sequential shifter
-A bit noisier since the G27 got helical gears and not straight cut gears like the G25

G27
+6 buttons on the wheel
+Optical reading off the wheel (which eliminates any chance of FFB dead zones)
-No sequential shifter

They're the manufacturer, and they will ship to Australia. You may have to contact them regarding the G27 wheel stand because on their 'Buy Online' page it only mentions the wheel stand compatible with the G25 (though they do make a stronger, heavier stand for the G27).

And yeah fair enough on the wheel - might be something to just get used to. Hows the feedback on it? Using the Clutch/Gears?

With the PlaySeat - I think "YOUR MATE" was saying you can just call up and see what they can do for you - just mention that Brendon (YOUR MATE) rang up before and a couple more people are interested - I think someone else was asking for one too so they may keep the same pricing.

imho the G25 is a better wheel then the G27. It is a known fact the G27's have a deadspot in the middle which the G25s do not. The downside to the G25 is no shift lights and noisy motors.

Need Arc Team G25-E Mod :)

The dead spot is tiny and unless you like to move your steering wheel left and right repeatedly 2-3 degrees from the center (why would you do this?) you're not gonna notice it. The G27 is already quite noisy for me, especially for console games where the FFB is less configurable, so the G25 is worse in that aspect.

Every other aspect of the G27 is also better than the G25 (shifter feel, adjustable pedals, number of buttons). If you're really desperate to use sequential on the shifter instead of the paddles there are mods on how to do it for the G27 shifter floating around on the net.

Having a little issue with my G27, im not sure wether its normal (doubt it) when playing F1 2010.

-First of all with environmental effects turned on (force feedback) it makes lots of clunking sounds which is very annoying

-secondly, playing in melb (or on any other track) with force feedback on, going around a corner in high speed, there seems to be a deadzone about midway into a corner of about 10 to 20 degrees.

i.e.

-Arrive into corner.
-Turn wheel ~45, wheel turns fine.
-Wheel feels like it clicks into place, deadzone of further 10 to 20 degrees.
- wheel then keeps rotating fine.

I doubt this is normal.

Cheers for any feedback.

The clunking is pretty normal if the FFB is too strong, especially in console games since you can't fine tune it other than the presets. The random deadzones aren't normal though.

Got mine today. Gave it a quick go with NFS Shift. So far so good. Will take a bit of time getting 100% used to but so far so good.
iPhone 4 and g27 all in one day, I'm a happy man :).

Just NFS shift. I can't get the clutch or gearstick to work with grid.

hey guys, i was just wondering what the plug system is like for this? i think i can tell from one random pic i found, but its of a g25, just wanted to make sure it's the same...

do all 3 pieces have their own plug? its of no consequence if one plugs into another on their way to the console, but more i am wondering are items easily seperated from one another? eg not hardwired as 3 pieces into eachother?

the reason i ask is my current pencil design for a racing seat setup is set around the notion of storing the seat in my bedroom with the gearstick fixed to it and leaving the steeringwheel/pedal section down in the general tv area.

Yep. They each have their own plug

The gearstick and the pedals plug into the steering wheel. Power pack and usb cables comes out of steering wheel.

went n grabbed shift last night and had a quick go of it with the g27. is pretty awesome im still trying to get used to it though.
only thing i dont like is the forcefeed back on it, it seems to make the wheel go all over the place!! isnt realistic at all and kinda confuses me soemtimes while im racing and stuffs me up, cant seem to turn it off in nfs shift but you can in f1 2010

Played F1 2010, GRID, and they both work amazingly well. FF is win!

If you feel like the force feedback is totally wrong, it might be reversed. Try setting it to -100% instead of 100% (or whatever value you had it on) and see if it makes a difference.

Ok cheers i might try that

however how do i do that in shift? i dont think there was any settings for that in the game, i do rememebr seeing settings like that in f1 2010 though.

Pretty sure you can adjust it with the Logitech software that comes on the disc with the g27.

Yeah I have that same problem when playing shift. It feels like the steering wheel has a mind of it's own and goes all over the place.
If you figure it out then can you let us know.

FUUUUUU!!

Just as I thought i had spent enough money on my computer, i see a totally pr0n 3 monitor set up ...

Received my G27 sometime last week. Ive since used it on Dirt2, F1 2010 and GTR Evolution. GTR is more the simulation, hard as fuck but a great challenge.

For people having issues, mostly you need to update the games and G27 software. That deadspot people harp about is there, but i dont notice it when racing.

Overall money well spent. Until I start pricing up 2 x 26" monitors and a new video card ...
