I know my Logitech G25 wheel is not natively supported by GT5, so I understand that settings are not straightforward.

I am trying to enable 200 degree steering for Formula 1 type cars like the Ferrari F1, Formula Gran Turismo, and Red Bull X1 2010. I practically broke both wrists doing the Vettel Challenge, esp. On turn 1 at The Nurburgring. Driving these cars without that setting is unrealistic and not much fun.

I've seen "select + R3 + right paddle" or similar posted online, but I can't even figure out how to enter that combo, since the g25 doesn't have control settings in the Options menus...

Any help out there?
 
I was thinking about asking this myself. Does the G25 (or my G27) have any way of calibrating it in the hardware itself - possibly by entering some mystic incantations on the buttons or something? Apparently the Fanatecs have something like this.
 




I'm subbed to these guys on youtube.

they prpbably have an answer for you, but I can't remember where.....


skip to around 29:00 for the wheel segment.

Thanks for the clips, pixel_geist.

I am on the PS3, and the second clip says that 200 degree steering is NOT supported for the G25 or G27 on the PS3 - period. not just for GT5.

I'll be less than happy if that's true. But thinking about it, I have the game F1 2010 (Codemasters) and my G25 steers correctly (200 degrees +/-) for the F1 cars on that game.

still confused. Anybody else care to chime in?

oh, well, thought i'd try.

the new logitec wheel supports it, but it's $600!
:crazy:

You mean Thrustmaster (the $600 dollar wheel). If I remember correctly, almost all the Fanatec wheel has discrete adjustment for steering rotation which is done on the wheel itself (as oppose to adjusting it within GT5/software). The next option is the $2500 Frex Simwheel in which the adjustment is done mechanically.

By the way, Frex just announced the "G" series wheel which is based in the G25 electronic and therefore compatible with GT5 (the current Simwheel isn't). Everything including the excellent pedal unit (which makes a mincemeat out of the already excellent Fanatec's CSP) and the two separately available H-pattern shifter or/and sequential shifter. Here's a photo of the "G" series:

Wow, that shifter I do wanna have :drool:
Riding on a G25, but always wanting those Clubsport pedal set from Fanatec.

Frex surely is a complete another story, let alone not very comparable to the rest of the commercial steering wheels. But heck, I want one of those :)
 
What's the point in playing a "Simulator" with a $250US wheel if you wanna use a quarter of the steering available? It doesn't make sense to me. I have the G27 and I was wanting to lower the rotation. Now I'm finding I want MORE.
 
because the real cars don't have 900 rotation? I think a Formula 1 car has about 400 degree lock in total (200 each side), and most of the time you are not using anything more than 200 degrees.
 
Ha ya very close to cheating, but I'm sure that setup is waaaaay out of most peoples price range
