Greetings all, new to LFS and my first post here. I've been running through the training missions and got up to the MRT5 lesson and encountered some issues. I'm not sure if it's a bug, hardware problem, or just user error, but I found on the MRT5, the sequential gearing a little wacky. Sometimes I could shift willy-nilly and other times I had to use the clutch. I have a vague understanding of how SMG's work, particularly on a motorcycle, so you probably should be using the clutch, but at higher revs, it's often unnecessary. Anyways... it seemed to be iffy and inconsistent on when it required clutch usage -- for example, at the start of a training mission, I could sometimes shift through the gears, with no clutch useage, before the red lights even went out, but other times the gears would not change. Almost seems like a game bug. Any insight on this issue?


I'm using a Logitech G25 setup and just have two simple questions about it (only had it for 3 days):

Should I unplug the power cord and/or USB cable when the wheel is not in use? I imagine it's only taking enough power to light the LED indicator(s) when not using FFB, but if that's not the case, I'd rather not drain the juice when it's not in use (hey, that rhymed!).

Secondly, are there any "no-no's" for using a FFB wheel, or the G25 in particular? I know the shifter is "flimsy" to put it mildly, but mainly I'm concerned about tearing up the motors in the wheel fighting against the FFB.


That's all for now. Thanks a bunch.

Only question i can really answer. In the description for the g25 lfs was mentioned as one of the games it was 'made' for so it should be able to take 100% ffb fine. Ive had the ffb high enough to actually start to lift on end of my desk as i fought the ffb. Not saying it is good to do that but the wheel can take a high amount of ffb. If it breaks it comes with a 2 year logitech warrenty anyway.

Sub machine gun?
