I would love to play with an LX8.

As for thinking outside of the box:
I would really like to race in a big racing truck. Been a while since any descent truck racing game has been released anyway.

Quote from logitekg25 :how is it compared to the g25, if you had it...

hows the shifter?

I have a G25 and now a G27.
It makes a hell of a lot less sound. (when I am drifting all u hear is the the leather sliding threw my hands , very nice!)
It grips better and seems to run more smoothly. (dead zone is improved)
I think the FFB is a bit faster than the G25.
The shifter is much better, feels like they put in stonger springs, whatever they did, it helped!
Pedals are almost the same (u can adjust them and they are fitted 13mm closer to ur feet if I'm not mistakin'.

I love the g27 and I am very glad i bought it.
Its worth the money imo.

!!
U cannot use the flappy padels in GT5prologue with the G27 caus u cant change the gearbox anymore.
So if u wanna drive F12007 in GT5P , u gotta shift manual, and so u only can take 6 gears out of 7.
When will GT5 get it wright, perhaps in 2012?
And no, u cannot use the G25 shifter with the G27 wheel. (last time i checked u couldnt anyway)

I have a G25, but i couldnt help myself and went to buy a G27.
I was also very sceptic about it caus it doesnt look very different...
However it does feel different... a lot

-The wheel makes almost no sound now (i only hear the leather sliding threw my hands, no force feedback sounds at all compared to the g25)
-The wheel is a bit faster imo but i might be wrong.
-The wheel itself feels much better to turn and to easier to grip than the G25 which i totally didnt expect.
-The shifter is way more solid and I think they did a good job with improving that, even if it is a pitty the seq. shifting option is removed. That doesnt bother me anyway.
-The pedals are the same imo, but u can adjust them indeed if u want to.
-The Leds on the wheel are mostly show-aspect, but then again they might come in very handy. I havent been able to make them work in LFS yet, have to do some google work for that.

I think Logitech did a succesful upgrade and at first i didnt think i would say this, but it is wurth its money.
I went from G25 to G27 and have no regrets at all!


PS: I also wanted the wheel to have faster FFB, but then i realized that the wheel could perhaps not been sold on a normal market. (the G25 and G27 have already a no-kids warning and its for a reason!).
So i fear that the G25-G27 will never be updated in FFB-speed.
A wheel that turns twice the speed like the G25 (like FREX or ECCI) is simply not gaming gear for the normal market anymore. Not in price, not in safety, ...

All by all,
G27 is succesfu imo.
keep up the good job , Logitech.
