Sly870 · January 2, 2010

Hey guys

My bday is coming up so I would like to know which one to get.

Thanks

Get a cheap G25 if you've got lots of racing games. No real difference between the two..

Impala SS · January 3, 2010

Even the LED's.

Ty5565 · January 3, 2010

only difference is the LED's and those i heard dont work on this game

Sly870 · January 3, 2010

Ok,but are the G25 like,do they last long?

DriftNismo · January 3, 2010

If you're asking whether it's well built, yes, they last very long, and even though they came out a few years ago they're still the top of the range steering wheels, beaten only by the G27. And you can get them for quite cheap now. The only difference between the G25 and the G27 is the G27 has the LEDs for a rev counter and a few more buttons, but the price difference really isn't worth it.

I heard some things about the shifter being more sturdy on the G27, is that true? Because the G25 shifter always felt really felt cheap and flimsy to me

Sly870 · January 4, 2010

Ok,think I will go for the G25 then..

Also,can you please post a picture on what the G25 uses to stick to the table..Thanks

mod edit: Please don't double post, use the edit button. Thanks!

Shifter

Wheel uses the same with no corkscrew thingy

The pedals just use a lot of plastic spikes which stick into your carpet

Sly870 · January 4, 2010

Ok,laka

RRacer · January 4, 2010

But the g25 has a knob that turns your 6speed shifter into a sequential shifter.

on TDU,wen u do that,does it work?

Impala SS · January 4, 2010

Yes, it will work for TDU.

Sly870 · January 4, 2010

And,when you put H-Shifter thing in Controls on,does it activate the clutch and the gearbox..Also,the clutch,can you take off like in a normal car

When you put the H-Shifter as "On" in Controls, it does not necessarily automatically activate the clutch. You still need to set the control of "Clutch" to the clutch on the G25 and you need to turn "Auto-Clutch" off. You also need to set all the controls for each gear on the H-Shifter. And if you want to de-activate the Clutch, you just set "Auto-Clutch" to on.

Sly870 · January 4, 2010

sweet,so,you go to options and say 1st gear and put the H shifter in 1st and so on...And the paddles?How do u set those up?

Also, how do you go into reverse and change from the stick shift to the paddles?I know you turn the button but is there anything else you need to do?

In TDU it depends on the kind of gearbox you have in the car you´re currently driving for example if I´m driving an Elise TDU recognizes that and my G25 so I have to shift with the H-Shifter and use the clutch. If I´m buying a Lambo with Sequential Gb I have to use the shifting paddels and no clutch. Just edit the controls set your paddels to shift up shift down and the H-Shifter for the options Gear 1-6. Tdu manages what you got to use.

RRacer · February 12, 2010

I don't think tere are any g25s left here. I'm buying this:

Immelmann · February 12, 2010

G25 FTW!!!!!!111

Sly870 · June 23, 2010

Soz to bring up old topics but, anyone got one for sale?

styled · June 27, 2010

I'll Choose G25, Much Cheaper Than The G27.

Ryzza5 · June 27, 2010

You could try looking up 'Rebuilda' on the official Europe TDU PC forums, he often sells them. You can also check EBay.

Sly870 · June 27, 2010

Mmmm...I don't like buying stuff over the internet, lol, will check it out...

I've always wondered if that was the case... But say your in a Merc with 7 gears, can you shift to 6th and then use the paddle to hit 7th? or are you stuck at 6th?

This dude has g25/27s quite cheap and apparently is reliable too.
