i decided to post a list of g25 tips, i have just gone to post one and it timed out so i havent the time to type it all again so ill only add a couple for now but if you have any post them below and ill add them too the list
tips:
1:dont run the g25 at high ffb for extended periods on tracks were you are constantly turning or tracks with long curves
2:make sure the power jack is fully insurted into the base as it may seem in but the power will not pass properly and the g25 will not work correctly
3:clean your g25 with SILICONE FREE leather cleaner as the silicone in most cleaners makes the leather shinny and slippery
4: the metal on the wheel and shifter scratches easily so be careful
5: spend time setting the wheel up fully to get the most out of it
6:mount the pedals vertically if possible (may not suit everyone), as in the pedals rotating on the top not bottom
7:when changing gears, try to be precise and not SLAM it in, doing this can damage your shifter, and damage the ends of the gates.
- Remove the spacer for the throttle pedal pad (makes heel and toeing a bit easier.
- Only use the top bolt for the throttle pedal, so you can adjust the angle (also aids h&t)
- Get dxtweak to adjust the clutch axis (1st third and last third of the pedal travel shouldn't do anything). More realistic this way and helps a lot against misshifting
- On rscnet there is a thread on how to reduce the clicking sound of the h-shifter. unfortunately i forgot my rscnet password, so I cant search for the link (but this method does work).
another tip from me(frenchy). When changing from sequential to h-gate or vice versa, when turning the knob on the shifter, make sure it is FULLY pressed down. Forcing it when the shifter is'nt fully pressed down may cause damage.
or,
When attaching the wheel or shifter to the desk, make sure not to not over-tighten the clamps as you could do damage to the threads. The clamps grip well so dont over do it!
or,
When your wheel is self-calibrating, do not attempt to stop the wheel. You may either hurt yourself (strong motors O.O') or you may cause damage to the wheel.
or,
A driving tip: When using the paddles, try not to "flick" them, it is rare, but it can sometimes cause the other paddle to flick back, thus putting you in the previous gear, costing you time.
I'd say setup a script so that when you go from Sequential to H-Shifter and vice versa it sets the controls up for you - it pwns just turning the dial and hitting "ALT" + "F1"
Also, the little hex thingys around the gate of the shifter are *not* for show as i discovered when i took every screw out, and then discovered i only needed to take the little bolts out *slaps head*
If you have reduced the steering range in the profiler or on control panel and are using FFB stops, never force the wheel to turn past the FFB stops. You can destroy one of the electric motors by doing so.

i hope this helps, some things may seem simple but it suprising how simple things can make a differance and when you have spent alot on a g25 it needs looking after

. Top mounted pedals would be a better description I think.
