I have both the DFGT and the G27 and run Arch on both computers. Both wheels work great and have force feedback support. I love my G27 but the DFGT works great for half the money (here in the USA).

If you have driven with a wheel and know that you love it, get the G27. If you're not sure, or don't have the money to spend, get the DFGT; it's good enough and not that expensive. Well, at least for the people where I live.

PS: I use the script I posted above to set the range I want, though I use 270 rather than 180 now.

Thank you for reporting your experience.
I've read on the net that the biggest difference between the two steering wheel is the feeling of pedals. More in detail the G27 are perfect while DFGT are too soft. Moreover G27 has the clutch pedal and the H gear shifter.
Since I've already used a low price wheel (no feedback and only combined brake and accelerator pedals), I'm wondering if it is the case to buy directly the G27 considering that Grand Prix Legend simulates the 1967 F1 season in which the use of manual H shift gear with cluth should give more realism.
Is it right?

I don't have any first hand experience with DFGT, but all the bits are there in the driver, so at least the native mode and FFB should work out of the box. I'm not sure about the separated pedals. I'd have to take a look at DFGT's HID descriptor, but even if it doesn't work right away, it should be fairly possible to fix it with a simple kernel patch.
Unfortunately I can't comment on GPL, but we've had no problems with WINE or games picking the tested wheels up.

Ok thank you for your help.
I'm still thinking if it is better for me to buy the DFGT or if I should buy the G27 (which has the clutch and the H shift which I don't know if is recognized in GPL under wine).
Maybe I can search for a used G27.

As an Arch Linux user you have the latest kernel 3.5 available (unless you're using some -lts version). Kernel 3.2 and above have support for Logitech gaming wheels (DFP, DFGT, G2x), kernel 3.5 even supports the LEDs on G27. If you're running such a kernel, you should not need LTWC anymore. If you run into any trouble, feel free to post it here...

Wow perfect!
Today I've seen in a shop a Logitech Driving force GT sold at 139.98€
Since the G27 costs in the same shop the double, I think I will choose the DFGT.
So you can confirm me that it is perfectly recognised on linux and wine (separated pedals, 900° and force feedback).
Can someone, who has the DGFT and linux, test if Grand Prix Legends recognises it correctly?
Thank you,

PS is DFGT a good choice or it is better to invest more money and buy the G27?

Hi to all,
I'm an arch linux user (64 bit) and I'm restarting gaming with Grand Prix Legend and Live for speed with wine.
I would like to buy a better steering wheel compared with my trust GM3200 one (which has combined pedals and no Force Feddback).
What is the best and fully functional one I can find?
It seem to me that G25/G27 work well with LTWheelConf. Is it correct?Is there any cheaper wheel which I can consider?Thank you,
