Did you buy through steam or is it a digital download outside of steam,
which folder did you install to ..keep away from program files x(86)

 

[Rui F. Martins]

it is a digital download version from raceroom, it is in the D drive, i just reinstaled it and is working fine, maybe a file got corrupted or something like that

I know my question is not directly connected to GTL (for sure indirectly), but here are many clever guys and users of G27 who can simply help me in this matter:

Thank you!

Mine has gone wrong a couple of times (but not like your picture it was off centre in calibration)and a clean install of the software and drivers always sorted it out,..
Make sure you haven't a profile that is persistent. there is a specific profile and global profile.

You could try to switch USB port to reset the calibration. When you reconnect the wheel you can calibrate it again in Profiler and see if it helps. Also check if you have the latest drivers/Logitech Gaming software

Inside GTL, you could try to reset the wheel settings. (Backup plr file first) In Settings->Controls there is one menu with 8 or 10 options, "Rumble pad, wheel, Momo force" etc. Try to select "wheel". Then go out on track and test and then go back to "Momo Force" and see if it helped.

All in all though, it doesn't sound that critical to me. If you get 840 instead of 900 you could allwasy compensate with the steering lock?

thanks, of course it is not critical, only ask if others have the same as I see here only me, but I found something like that:

Tommorow I will reinstall all the drivers. I have the newest one installed whichI downloaded from Logitech site.

I have had something similar since I went back to using my G25. It often calibrates off center (too far left). it started doing it when I updated to the latest ver of the Logitech driver.
If I exit the Logitech profiler from memory, (ie. close it), and then just re-insert the USB plug without the Logitech software, it calibrates fine. Go figure.
I'm thinking of going back to an earlier version of the Logitech software.

I used to use a ms wheel with xp Denis and yes it works ok. i still have mine in the attic with my old xbox'es and so many games.. i must get round to selling it all .. If your wheel is in good order they are still selling for a good price, But i would look at upgrading at some point.. you can possibly buy a good second hand wheel that works way better than a ms wheel for the same money.. just a thought..
you dont need to spend hundreds of euros to get a goood wheel i use a g25 and its more than good enough..
the logitech DFGT is let down by its pedals but still better than ms and the ffb is really good.. just a thought. but welcome to the club and enjoy..

 

[Denis Dal Negro]

Thank you Senac and Rupe,
the MS Wheel it's a little bit loose inside, the force feedback pulls back and forward repitedly... I will open it and check what I can do, if it's easy to fix I will use it for a while, otherwise I'll follow your suggestion Rupe

 

[Rupe Wilson]

If you have enough money the g27 is a wheel that is available with good pedals although a little more expensive new and looking on ebay for example is selling second hand for the same price as a G25( discontinued range only available second hand )
Or i can recommend this seller i got some pedals from him a while back (CLICK) for example..

 

[Ross McGregor]

DFGT is a good start but the pedals are mince. G27 is the best bet if you want great ffb, an H-shifter and decent pedals at a reasonable price.

if anyone can help pls
i still can no set up my g27 wheel buttons in game
1,everything works fine,force feedback all
2.buttons on shifter pad all of them work
3. only the 2 top buttons from steering wheel work,middle and buttom ,no
4.padels work fine
5.in other games buttons work fine,all of them
6,i have selected in "specialized effects - logitech momo force"
7.no matter what i choose from specialized effects still only the 2 top buttons will work

This is kinda bad for me,as there i map my pit limiter,lcd display,light,brake bias f/r and look behind and it would be difficult and mostly annoying to put them on shiftier pad

thank you

 

[Senad Subasic]

Yes, that's standard behaviour I believe.

I use look left and right with the middle buttons. I set them in GTL to N and V or something, and then use the Logitech Profiler to bind the middle buttons on the wheel to N and V on the keyboard.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I'm sure one of the G27 users will be able to help out.

I cannot map all buttons on my G25 (the ones above the D-Pad on the shifter unit - only 2 work there), so there might be some limitations inherent in the game with controller button limits.
