Looks lovely... But that is one expensive steering wheel...

Am I the only one that thinks this is a really ugly wheel compared to the DFP?

Just from the looks, I think you are the only one. brushed metal, alu and leather feel and look way better, than plastic and rubber.

If we use reverse as 7th gear then we can use this shifter for BF1, too.
I like leather and shifters behind the wheel :headbang:

Actually, it's the same diameter as the DFP isn't it? I think the main downside of the DFP is that it's still "toy" sized which makes the larger rotational range harder to use. A couple more inches would've been nice.

*wonders who will be first to make juvenile reference to that...*

I measured the diameter of my DFP and it's precisely 9.8", so the G25 is a tad larger. The thing is tho, since there is only two buttons in the G25 wheel itself, it might be easy to swap in a real race wheel like Nardi or OMP etc since you don't have to worry about losing all the buttons with the original wheel.

Very good idea ]:-> oh well, bye bye sis! you're going on nice trip to emirates :bananalla

They should stick an extra row of programmable leds on the wheel, and possibly a 3 or 4 row programmable LCD display... Just so Kegetys can keep busy for us.

In fact, I think that's one of the first things I'd do... Mod an LCD on this thing.

nope it really is ... looks like something you could build out of standard parts ... especially the buttons on the wheel

its a bit larger but still too small to really make use of all that rotation imho

DFP looks more like a toy to me....

this G25, well it resembles more to a real life sport steering wheel. I think it looks way cooler.

Added pics of the pedals found from http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=253870

The gear shifter has a sequential option, presumably to make it work in just one plane.

anybody think ill be able to get it any cheaper?

Dunno, it seems pretty fairly priced to me. Depends what they consider "limited edition", I suspect plenty of hardcore simracers will be pre-ordering it as soon as they allow.

and i just wrote on the german lfs forum that this is actually the first proper wheel that you can afford without having to sell a kidney. i think the price is fair. have you ever had a look on those BRDs, VPPs or whatnot...some of that stuff goes well into the 4 figure range...

dfp was about 24cm, this one is 30cm. now that might not sound like very much, but consider that its a circle, its quite a difference.

and i think its looks good, serious, not like a toy. i think real racecars don't have funky buttons either.

Just what I thought. When I think of a racecar, I don't really see a whole bunch of buttons on the wheel. Those two should be enough. And those 6 cm's really make a differenct, that's a pretty large wheel. I would like to have it... but yea, the price is reasonable, but you still have to be able to pay for it though.

but they dont need buttons to look right and left!

I think the G25 looks superb. How the hell can someone even say that the plastic rubber icky goo DFP looks better in any way? It looks more toy than a toy can look. illepall

i love my Momo. Apart from the pedals. and i really am skint atm. But seeing that wheel... i want it soo much!

Quote from Jakg :

That's what you use those two buttons for
What else would you want to use them for? I can't really think of a button I'd use that really needs to be on the wheel... Although I would have loved it if that big GT sign in the middle of my DFP was a button so I could map it to the horn... road raaaaaaage

to me it looks like something built in average joes basement and not like a 300 euro wheel from a bigshot company

horn (as you already said) pit limiter, maybe some voice com button

Friggin hell, this is what I have been waiting for! Wheel set with all you could want. It really sounds and looks good. Reminds me the time when the orginal momo came wich was all in leather and was way too expensive. Must start saving money....moooney...mmmm


Oh, must be mentioned here in the thread (cant be bothered to read it so much at this time of night) but LFS was mentioned there...coool!

1) Dear Logitech. I will buy this wheel. But i would buy it even happier if u could have 5 buttons on wheel, instead of just 2.
A programmable lcd (alla g15) center of wheel would be nice also. Or just have the placeholder for that "upgrade extension", on the wheel. LFS can use it very well and surely other sims to follow.

thanks for a kickass product basically everyone was waiting for. midrange perfectness.

2) here is my revised proposal mockup. Hope you understand the 5th button important also for "next feature" lcd navigation (therefore its linked color). It could also be a dial (twist) for analogue "more or less" and pressable for "ok/next".
I dont mind paying extra X dolars or so to have these additional features.
Wish u good luck, and hope u enjoy this quick mockup:

Beautiful wheel, shifter looks cool but shame the buttons will be a bit awkward. Finally a clutch pedal too; just one thing though about them, I wonder if they'll be aligned (& pressured?) correctly for heel-toeing.. Pity if they miss such a detail from such a sweet piece of kit.

I'll buy one either way!

KiDCoDEa, very nice mockup. Too bad logitech won't propably change the currently presented prototype very much.

It wouldn't hurt trying, because THAT would make an instant *cha-ching* coming from my wallet
