Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel

[Trk-el-son]

My pedal plate is also shiny, I'm planning on putting a strip of skateboard grip tape over the base as it's
1. Designed for stopping feet slipping on a surface
2. Replaceable
3. Lasts ages

That will work.
Also, if you are (1) wearing shoes, it will eat through the heels in a matter of weeks. If you are (2) wearing socks, it will eat through the heels in a matter of days and if you are (3) barefooted, it will take care of that hard skin on the heels in a few hours. Actually quite nice, but anything more than that and it will be anything than nice.
And finally, you will have a rather constant accumulation of debris on, and around the plate: Either shoe rubber, sock fluff or dead skin.

(Sorry, could not resist a slightly humorous approach to saying that I am quite sure it will be too abrasive for any prolonged use.)

I was wondering that myself. Personally I like a surface with some cushioning and "give" such that in socks it feels like I am wearing racing boots which is why I chose EVA foam on a cork gasket base for my own solution. It feels to me the closest I can get to feeling like I am wearing racing boots from the heel perspective but have the "sensitivity" of socks. I also don't want my heel "stuck" on a overly grippy surface - I want something that can accommodate a slight adjustment of the foot position but won't let it slide either.

I actually preferred the feel of my old G25 pedals in terms of the stock feel under the heel, but of course everything else about these Pro pedals are far ahead of them in other respects.

I am just so glad I read this thread as quite honestly I wouldn't really have thought about making a cover for the heel plate, mainly through fear of making it feel worse and / or having trouble removing and replacing that cover (which will be inevitable).

At this point we've eliminated the obvious variables. My supposition at this point is that something is briefly interrupting the signal - like ESD or very brief power shortage - which resets the wheel's interface slightly and thus Trueforce Audio doesn't come back. Matt's in Australia so right now it's winter and, depending on exactly where he is, static build up is more likely due to relatively lower humidity.

@matt545 if you race in shoes, does the issue go away if you race in socks/bare feet? Is the power supply for the wheel on its own power socket or sharing with other devices in a multi-socket? If you're on a rig, have you tried grounding it?

Hi Rich,

I race in socks already. Never race in shoes. I have tested the power supply with both own socket and on a multi-socket, no change.

I set up a grounding wire yesterday in an attempt to rule this out. No noticable change initially but will test again over the next day or so.

Next steps from here? Are they any updates in the works to address any of this?

Hi, can anyone recommend some good gloves that won't tear the seams on my G Pro steering wheel?
I read that gloves can tear the seams that cover the factory G Pro steering wheel.

Thanks.

What are they wearing? Baseball gloves ? , Simhound are a good brand

Hope GT8 gives this wheel better trueforce effects, no engine sounds in trueforce, Loading up Assetto Corsa Evo on pc , i don't even need my sound system on as I can hear the Engine etc all from the wheel, so much better immersion.

I use sparco hypergrip gloves they have been working nice, they wear out rather than the wheel

Our team has a supplier we work with.... You could customize the design... And right now we're starting a charity event for a members I'll child... So proceeds would go to a good cause.

Let me know and I'll hook it up... No pressure If you don't decide to order but you at least get all your questions answered

Personally have used SimHound which in my opinion gets closest to a barehand feel in terms of grip levels. Currently I’m running Sparco Arrow K karting gloves since that’s also what I run in autocross. They haven’t torn anything up on my wheels. Though on the Momo Alcantera wheel I am begging to see general wear appear.

Anyone elses trueforce defaulting to 100% on every profile when you switch the wheelbase on? This was fine pre firmware update but since I updated the other day it's not. Very annoying

This is driving me mad and I came to this thread to see if anyone else was suffering from the same thing and/or if there is a fix.

I only play iRacing and the Trueforce is jumping to 100% every single time, even after I drop it down to the correct level, the next race and it's back at 100 🤨

The fix can't come soon enough, hopefully Logitech and @LOGI_Rich are on it....

I think it would help to see photos of the wear you are experiencing if you are able.

Not my photo (it's from the Facebook group) but mine looks the same, if not worse and it's 16 months old.

I don't think that configuration has been in place since new. Looks like it was used with all three pedals for a good time then changed later to two.

Hi there. I mentioned how to address this previously in the thread. Just set the in-game volume to where you like it - vibration for GT7 and the Wheel LFE volume in the Misc tab in iRacing. That way it’ll always be the same each time you start the game.

I'll try it thanks but it was working fine up until the latest firmware update. Even if I toggle profiles using the wheel, the settings aren't updating which doesn't seem right?

yep, seems so.

I've just installed the 'decal' that I got off Ebay, seems ok but obviously will need to give it some time before a useful verdict can be given.

I'm very happy with my home-made solution described earlier and it looks like it will last as long as a good pair of joggers (I've been driving a lot since making it). I'm only worried about replacing it so I will have to put my faith in the T-Rex tape leaving no residue.

Hi @LOGI_Rich ,
September and October (Logi Plays and Sim Expo) are just around the corner. Will there be anything for us enthusiastic G Pro Wheel users? Can I leave the clutch pedal attached to the rig? So far, this has been pretty much neglected. I would like to drive a few HHHHHistoric cars in the right way. Or even a cool steering wheel with a display (but I'm not sure what's possible on the PS5).

Will Project Motor Racing support Trueforce from day one? (PS5)

Thank you very much.

 

[LOGI_Rich]

There's a very clear direction behind what will be shown at Logitech G Play - tune in on the 17th and see.

PMR - awaiting confirmation.

 

[Abelardor]

Hi, I'm having trouble with the PS5 game EA SPORTS WRC using my Logitech G Pro Wheel. When I change any of the vibration settings in the game's control settings, collisions stop working. With the default vibration settings, the wheel is too stiff for me.
I need to lower some of these settings because the steering wheel is getting too aggressive for me, even with the steering wheel set to 2nm.
Any solution??

Thanks!!

 

[Tommy moon]

Thank You Rich....and good luck September 17th!

 

[ThrottleGeist]

Thank You Rich....and good luck September 17th!

Rich, can the live and average torque display on the wheel base itself be used to detect clipping for console games?

Is the assumption correct, that as long as the live torque reading never reaches 11nm there is no clipping?

 

[LOGI_Rich]

Yes, absolutely it can. As I say in that video though, it’s all about what happens when you steer into a corner. You definitely shouldn’t be hitting peak torque at that point, but don’t be too concerned if it happens very briefly when other harder forces get pushed to the wheel - bumps, kerbs etc.

But yeah, if you’re driving down a straight and just weaving and doing that hits peak torque, then you need to wind things down a bit in the game settings 🙂

After Flatchat's comment about plastic heel plate wear I took a look at mine - and even after two months and just three hours per week I can see a tell tale "shine circle" on mine as well! As I mentioned, this happened to my G25 pedals as well but since they were so inexpensive and part of the package, I didn't really think much of it and I don't think it really affected my driving either. I think from memory the more it wore, the slower the wear rate though and it probably looked much worse than it actually was.

Perhaps LogiRich could assure us that the wear is merely cosmetic and we are not going to compromise the pedals in any way other than cosmetically with these shiny wear circles. The plastic on the old G25 heel plate was very thick - I have no idea how thick it is on these Pro Pedals. I know the base plate is very strong with metal reinforcement but I suspect the heel plate does not have this.

I was looking for a use for the free gaming pad I got from Logitech, just stuck it down with double sided tape. Very comfortable😉

 

[opelgt1969]

For those with a driving rig this is what I did as I drive barefoot self tapping screws to hold in place,I think it's outdoor carpet has thick rubber backing screwed to rig base plate reason that lip bothered my heels:

Hi, Does Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 support True Force with the G Pro wheel?
Has anyone tried it with the G Pro wheel? If so, how does it feel?

Thanks!!

Feels ok. No trueforce.

 

[Abelardor]

@GlamFM Does Forza Horizon 5 play well with a steering wheel?
I have the Xbox SX version and have always played with a controller because my steering wheel is only compatible with PS5.
I don't know what the steering wheel feels like when driving up a hill!

Thanks so much for your help.

Its been a while. I'll check again this weekend and report back to you.

I only play GT7 on the wheel and FH5 with a pad, but this has more to do with FH5 not supporting VR.

 

[notarjy]

I tested Fh5 on pc a few years ago when I first got the wheel and remember it feeling pretty good, not on the same level as gt7 or fm23 but good enough to experience the game from cockpit view. in the end I prefer to play fh5 in chase came with the pad though, just suits the game better for me.

This is 100% me. In horizon I want to see the car.
