Sparko

Quote from: FatBob;387537So I was getting a few laps in on the current Lotus/Vallerenga setup on Saturday got down to a 1:56.753 using my G27 race rig and manual gears with clutch, saw Sparko drop me a line saying "come on the server we got a few on"
wheel stopped working .... Flashing LED on the gear shifter and rev lights stuck on full on the wheel and no steering at all.

:( sorry , hope it wasn't me that caused it, I just got excited and saw you playing it so thought I would give you a nudge

still no luck with Logitech, just the standard "nope not happening fool"

Looking around at what's out there, thinking I might go for the Fanatec Porsche 911 GT2 Wheel, which is about £7 cheaper than a new G27 and has some excellent reviews vs the G27 all around, but its only the wheel.

The bonus is that they provide an adapter with the wheel that allows you to use the G27 pedal set (of which I now have a spare one !) then as needed can be replaced with the clubsport elite pedal set which looks nice as it has a load cell, oil damped brake pedal, one for the future maybe.

My mate got a fanatec and it is mightly impressive he waxs lyrical about it.

Good luck with the new wheel.

Is it just me but I've beginning to feel Logitech quality is not anymore quite what it used to be. My problem list is G27 PSU, earlier MX518 mouse and now G300 (or was it G400) is beginning to 'behave'

shame you got no joy out of Logitech Fatbob.  Ahh well, new stuff on the way!  I would have tried to give more advice, but to be honest, I myself am really not looking forward to having to replace my G27.  I'd have no idea what to replace it with.  I do like the way some manufacturers are making there wheel compatible with the G27 hardware (like shifter etc).  One thing I know for sure, I would want to keep a clutch pedal and H shifter.

You can let us know how the Fanatec goes!
