Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel

[Serum]

Hey guys, just dropping in to offer some perspective and feedback. As an owner and user of both the Logitech G Pro(former aftwr 2 years) and Fanatec DD Extreme with various rims...

The Logitech is by far your best value and the performance difference is minimal at best.

And...the Logitech G Pro Wheel rim is on par with Fanatec "Podium" rims in feel and quality - comparing against Podium R300, Maybe better.

Logitech is top tier for PS5,.without those G29 emulator gadgets.lol.

I agree and wish I went Logitech. I purchased the Fanatec with Asseto for pc in mind, but still no pc lol.

Speaking specifically about drifting on GT7 with both wheels, the ffb as it pertains to self steering is night and day. My Logitech (g27 w/ ps4) self steered like the steering wheel does in your favorite drifter’s in car footage. I mean it just whips, quickly and smoothly.

My fanatec dd+pro is LAZY. I can’t just let the wheel slide through my fingers, I have to help it. I’ve played with the settings and nothing has worked. I get by but I really regret my decision.

The new updated momo pro 320 wheel is fantastic! Feels great in your hands. Thumb notches are nice and deep and the knots above really keep your thumbs planted down in. Very happy with it.

For all you flex freaks out there I can honestly say this updated wheel has zero flex. I mean 0.0 flex. It’s completely reinforced now with the design change. It’s now solid, yet it’s still very lightweight. Fun wheel.

@LOGI_Rich - I am what I consider a newer driver - still learning and I'm old at 62 IMO

I have been having a trailbraking issue using the logitech G pro wheel and pedals-

My issue is trailbraking when it needs to be a longer drawn out braking pattern.

I was using the small yellowish white with orange bottom cushion first - then the red cushion - and last the brown. I love the feel of this combo and oressure required but no matter how hard I tried My trailbrake was shaped like and upside down U WITH no elongated trail (hope that makes sense)

Physically i feel as if I am braking in a way that should represent the braking pattern I am attempting to perform - but I am just unable to achieve it - The brake just drops off fast.

I played with the elastomers (cushions as I call them) and I can now trailbrake but I do not like the softness of the brake. I currently am using small white orange first - then yellow - last brown..... i basically swapped out the red for yellow if memory serves me correctly- but I tried about every combo I could think of.....

any thoughts on how to achieve a longer throw while achieving a variation in psi required throughout the range? the brake feels soft throughout from 0-100% brake and no change in feel..... so instead of feeling the pressure change - I need to now memorize leg and ankle position.

Hi there.

This sounds like it's your first foray into load cell-based pedals? Either way, we should focus on your last statement about needing to memorise leg/ankle position... because this is most assuredly no longer the case.

Regardless of whether you set the pedal to be softer with more travel or harder with far less travel, the travel/feel has zero impact on the sensing. It's 100% pressure-based. It sounds like you're still relying on the deflection-based sensing that you've previously developed muscle memory for; this is the part that you need to train your brain away from. Focus less on trying to achieve a certain amount of deflection when you release to begin trail braking and instead focus on the amount of pressure you're releasing by. Once you get used to it, it's far easier to achieve the same level of pressure every time for most people (because it's easier to achieve muscle memory for pressure than it is deflection... at least for most people).

This is likely one of the reasons that so many people prefer load cell brakes to be stiffer, because they then only have to focus on pressure. There is of course usually some travel still there, but it's small enough that they're no longer focusing on it.

hmmm Not 100% sure I was able to explain the issue. The only pedal / wheel combo I have used is the G Pro - I had zero driving experience until the PS5 Pro came out and I decided to get into Sim Racing .....

My issue is I am used to the feel of the much stiffer and shorter travel - But was unable to achieve the trail brake as the throw was so short the second I released to trail brake it just dropped out - for months I have been trying unsuccessfully.

I thought with the three elastamers I shouod feel the change in pressure required as each of the three elastamers were compressed throughout the braking travel - thats what I was referring too ..... it just feels like a soft sponge throughout the travel.

 

[LOGI_Rich]

Oh, I understood the issue, but just focusing on some of the things you say because I think they're ultimately why you may be struggling 😊

There's a change in the force curve required to compress the elastomers, definitely, because it does ramp up as you press harder, but if you're looking for a very clear difference between each stage then they won't provide that. It is there, but it's not designed to be ultra distinct.

My advice still stands though, because your description still sounds like you're basing things on pedal travel, rather than pressure. One thing that might help, depending on how your pedals are mounted, is increasing the brake force setting. This will naturally widen the window of force needed to achieve 0-100% axis output. The same amount of relaxing of force in your foot will consequently result in a smaller change in the axis output.

@The_Antman_

Make sure your pedals are calibrated correctly in gt7 using the menu in the video.

@Oshawa-Joe thank u Mr Joe appreciate the assistance ...... I am sure at some point I will build up the experience and feel to get the brake back to limited travel and firmness. But for now I need the travel and hate the soft feel of the brake.
