Any updates for Logitech G27 to assign buttons?

digitalic · Jul 3, 2011

I've been away for awhile and there have been a few new updates to the game. Have they finally added a way to customize the buttons on the G27 wheel? I'd love to be able to assign the horn to one of the buttons and etc. This is one disappointing issue that I wish they would fix.

Nope. They still haven't been able to figure out such a simple issue, lame isn't it? 👎

I know it's lame but I am so used to having my controller assigned to one that I don't care anymore ahaha

imo the funniest thing about G27 assign probllem is that they cant code a simple thing as button assignment, but the little rev thingy works like a charm...is it just me or its a little strange?

for me its nothing but commercial contract policies (with Thrustmaster) where the end user is the prejudiced one...just trash your 350 G27 and buy a 500 wheel with no H gate shifter yet...lolz

That's my point, I mean, surely they have the development tools to make stuff work in the G27, so it's just a matter of commercial Bovine-Excrement. All buttons of the shifter module worked in GT5

, but the shift lights/paddle shifters/four extra wheel buttons didn't worked. Now in GT5, the shift lights/paddle shifters work, but the shifter module is crippled and the four extra wheel buttons still don't work. Hmmm...sounds like it's not impossible tinkering with the G27 support...

What about releasing a patch for "Other Wheels" support, that weirdly supports button maping for an unnamed wheel with two buttons on the wheel, a d-pad, and eight extra buttons and for another unnamed wheel with six buttons on the wheel, a d-pad, and eight extra buttons. Some people might call them "Logitech G25 & G27", but that shouldn't matter to a commercial agreement given that PD wouldn't be using the Logitech trademark or anything.

But, this apparently logical, uncomplicated, and realistic solution will, like many others, be overheard by PD. I no longer believe in all of their "perfection", "mimesis", "ultimate bla bla", "attention to detail", and "6 years of development"......

I think that PD can't figure it out since there is no logical explanation for this.

^ What the hell is that?

They are not supporting it because they don't give a damn about customer satisfaction.

That is the plain and simple fact if they cared they would fix it, if they don't know how to then they would find someone that did to make us happy. I mean a 60,000,000 game, clearly they don't care about spending money so whats the problem Kaz?

They should have shipped a can of Raid with this damn game.

It's a (quite seemingly realistic) joke he posted on another thread where people thought PD didn't officially include G27 to draw attention towards the TR500.

Yup, I agree with all of that. They haven't even gave us a proper explanation as to why is this. It's obvious they know the G27 exists, and they know how to work with it, they just don't want to do support it officially because of their agreement with Thrustmasters. 🤬 them, I'm not paying $500 for a wheel.

They should stop talking all that crap about "perfection", "ultimate bla bla", and we have to stop believing them.

P.S: That's an awesome G27 rig you have!!! 👍

I have stated that the G series will not get support due to PD totally endorsing the new Thrustmaster series. Logitech already got a wheel with their name on it and then PD goes to a competitors wheel and says this is the best wheel for the game? Doesn't make sense to me. PD was paid some big bucks to step away from Logitech.
