Logitech G27 Force Feedback

[Thomasss95]

Hey,

I have a Logitech G27 for a few weeks now and I think the Force Feedback is terrible.
I set the Force Feedback on 1, but it's still too strong in my opinion.
I tried to play on the G27 without the power on it, but that is way too light...
So is it possible to have some resistance but not the shaking in the wheel?

Sorry for my bad English.

Thomas

Whoa, don't run the wheel without power (G27). You'll fry your USB ports!

As for the feedback, it will take some time to get use to. What I did, when I first got it, was turn the FF to 5-7 and play with it (or should I say fight with it lol). When you turn it back down to 1, you'll feel that it's way too weak and you'll need it higher. You just need to get more familiar with it, it actually helps your driving!

With that said, after a while you'll get use to all the force feedback and actually enjoy it. It took me a week or two to get use to and when I did, I loved it and wondered how I ever played without it.

I've got the same issue with drifting with that damn wheel. I've got friends that do actual drifting in real life and they can't handle the snap back that the steering wheel gives (feedback set on 1). Its stupid

Have you tried the power steering option also?

Its not the force feedback that gives the snap back, it's part tuning part improper drift. It usually snaps back when the rear tires suddenly gain grip/traction. It can also snap back it your suspension tuning is off (ie; bad spring rates, too stiff etc.)

Also, switching to "Simulation mode" eliminates a lot of the snap back that tuning can't fix.

Switching to "Simulation mode: does nothing at all for a G27/G25 wheel. The only thing "Simulation mode" helps on are the wheels that are "highlighted" on the option screen.

Maybe it's a placebo effect or something. I feel a slight difference in the 3, maybe it's just me.

It's just like the controller sensitivity settings, some say it works on the wheels too, some don't. I guess it's mind games lol

Try turning power steering on.

I personally have had ffb set to 10 from day 1 and it's no problem.

 

[Thomasss95]

Thanks for all the reactions guys!
I will try it with the power steering on.
Does anyone why you can't set the Force Feedback to 0?

May I know what setup you use to clamp your wheel to?

Because a properly solid setup (like a sturdy table/racing rig) can do wonders, especially since you won't too busy trying to keep the wheel in place due to the force feedback.

I used a DS3 from the first GT until this past may when I bought a G27. It took me until last week to really get to where my times were even close to before. Use the power steering option. I set my force to 6 and had to readjust my tuning set ups to accommodate the better response to the physics of the car.

I hated it at first too but now I won't ever play a racing game without it

 

[Thomasss95]

Has anyone got experience with USB ports frying when the G27 isn't in power?

I use a Wheelstand Pro, that's very sturdy in my poinion.

Oh then I guess it's just a matter of getting used to the feedback.

Perhaps you could try driving simple, low powered sports cars first before gradually moving on to high performance supercars/racecars? As high power cars tend to have heavier steering (gives you time to get used to the feedback)

I also used to find the feedback odd, till I tried this approach. Now for me playing without my DFGT feels awkward

That's why I got rid of mine, its not the strength that bothered me. It was the way it was delivered, I bought a Fanatec gt2 and have never looked back.
