Just a guess, are you trying to use H-gate mode with cars like FXR/XFR/XRR/FO8,FOX,FBM?
Isn't Detroit Locker (thats the thing used in V8s, right?) a bit diffirent to Welded diff (Locked diff in LFS)?
Don't open it, just send it to replacement. No one can garantee that its just a yellow wire problem for you. If its not, you won't fix your shifter and WILL loose the warranty, does the risk worth it?
Yes, F1 engines are the laziest in world :rolleyes:
Revs of cars in LFS are more than normal, rev limiters were LOWERED in previous patch (Y), to be more realistic. Don't see any chances of raising them in a nearest future
Thrustmaster RGT Pro seems to be the only decent wheel with analogue paddles atm

GT5P is complete, released to public product. It IS done. GT5 is a not completed game, which basically will be the core of GT5P (the graphics, physics) just with more content, so the comparison is more that valid.
Just in case, there is a thread in Wheel section where one guy fitted Momo wheel on his Logitech, shouldn't be hard to find
Actually, its not that hard to do, all you need is the S-S wheel you want (any RL wheel can fit) with drilled wholes, deattaching G25s wheel is quite easy, you'll only loose two red buttons if you do change
Well, you will fall behind a bit, even if the start is ideal, just because of weight distribution of XRR, its the slowest car of the line. Before the lights, you should step on the throttle to get some turbopressure. At the green light you release the clutch, wheels start to spin, let off a tiny bit, so they can regain grip and then floor it as usual, nothing hard tbh
Both high and low steering locks have their own advantages and disadvantages, as everyone has his own tastes.
Low lock helps you to countersteer faster and save the car more often, but the downside of it is that turning to much is easy, so you can provoke a slide accidentally, also front tyres will suffer a lot more.
High lock gives you a lot bigger axis range to work with, so you can perform a much more accurate manipulations with steering wheels, the car is less prone to oversteer cause over steering, front tyres are much less punished also. Of course if you'll be bumped in the rear quater panel, you have less chances to save it, but it's not impossible
While high lock takes quite a bit more time to accomodate, but it does have it advantages IMO.
Also, another playing factor is realism. Many people play LFS as it is a realistic (to a certain point ) sim, and they want to play it realistically, meaning playing with a steering wheel, not gamepad. Using locks comparable with lock of RL cars is one thing that adds realism to the driving, while also giving a extra challenge
Personally, I use 900* lock in road cars, in S-S and GTRs - their corresponding lock. Is it harder? -Sure, but that only makes it more interesting. I'm not an alien, but I surely can compete with others. The thing I don't get, is why buying a G25 if you're not going to use shifter and lock of higher than 270, I'd use my old FF EX if I wanted that Yeah yeah...better quality etc. I still don't think its a reason to overpay
The conclusion of all this is, each to his own. Let people use whatever they want.

I'd say you needed more time to accomodate. I use 900* rotation in all road cars, just for the sake of fun (harder=more fun) and I didn't find it much less responsive than 720*. Just require some time to get used to, thats all really
IMO, Horn is useless in GTRs. Well, atleast I can barely hear it, because of wind and engine noise
I think you answered the question yourself
I don't think it really possible, well, driving for a long time difenetly. Driving for a few seconds might be possible in theory though, as when the car will be going upside down, the force pushing its driven wheels to the gorund will be much smaller the at horizontal position, so its more likely the car will have wheelspin, slow down (or even spin) and fall on the ground

It definetly is a CAR, uhm 4 wheels, engine and that sort of parts you'll find in any automobile :rolleyes:
Allthough, I do agree its a rubbish thing (X6, yes that stupid new SUV)
Thats what is written in the mag, that was testing it, I can scan the page and post it, but it will be hardly usefull as it is in russian
No, unfortunatly. Thats the way lights are switched off in LFS atm...
Just to add, you can also map those bindings for pressing keys in LFS directly, using scripts, which is a better and simpler alternative IMO.
Yes, BMW X6 is one of the latest models with 720* I know
I never said it had G25 internals, did I?
It has FFB technoligies that were first time implemented in G25, not its internals. FFB became smoother, and way faster than DFP.Quite the opposite.
It has the technologies tested on G25, so its more of a plastic G25 without H-shifter and clutch, rather than DFP...
Thats absolutly NOT true. If you ever took the wheel off your G25 you'd know it. There are only two wires coming to the red buttons on the wheel, and thats all. You can easily take the wheel off, by unplugging those wires. Putting another wheel should be easy, because G25's wheel is mounted on 6 bolts (which you can see around the Logitech logo, so if the distance between bolt holes of your aftermarket wheel matches, there is nothing stoping you from doing so. Flappy paddles will remain untouched as they are connected to the wheel column only.
Regarding durability, as the wheel is heavier, it might put extra load on motors, so you'd need to rise the FFB. Extra weight might influence on motors life, but I have no idea how much.
There are quite a lot of G25s with aftermarket wheels fitted, so you're not the first one with such idea
Ofcourse it invalidates warranty, so make your decisions wisely
There are not buttons inside the shifter that tell the game gear # is engaged, there are two pots, just like the joystick, not buttons. You are right about the wear though, it happends with time, so it's either pot dieing or the soldering which connects pot with wires coming to the circuit board, which is often the weakest link
