    I've owned 3 DFGT's and 1 G27. The potentiometers in the DFGT tend to go after about 40,000 laps. The G27 is bulletproof. But you're review was accurate, and I'd still recommend the DFGT to anyone. Potentiometer replacement isn't that hard, and its only a problem for people who race thousands of hours, or those who let crumbs and debris fall into the space around the pedal housing. The pedal housing around the G27 is more secured.

      I had the accelerator potentiometer in my G27 play up, but a $5 can of electrical contact spray fixed it right up. I didn't even have to remove the housings/covers.

    I want to compliment you on your reviews. You are enjoyable to listen to (no droning, nasally, squeaky voice) and your reviews sound very genuine. I like how you show the pros and cons of what you are reviewing, and avoid too may superlatives or criticisms. I also like how you don't dismiss, but rather mention with a grain of salt, complaints that some people have made against it, taking into account personal preferences and odd one-off issues some people complain about. Keep up the good work, and thanks for taking the time to make these informative videos.

    I have owned the DFGT since 2014 and had the following problems relatively soon. Since I only play siquential gear, I had the problem that the right gear lever sometimes didn't work, the right gear lever sometimes shifts two gears up and the left two gears down. The left cross on the steering soon knocked out and worked imprecisely. The vehicles had a flicker on the brake lights, the accelerator pedal got stuck on full throttle.

    let me tell you about DFGT! i have one of those, i use it every day and i have it since 2017 . I modded the pedals to be inverted and the brake now has a big spring and feels almost real. I olso made a sequential metal shifter instead of that little joke that comes with haha and i can say it runs very good , never lost its center or had any problems with it. i bought a thrusmaster t300 alcantara last year and that was a big disappointment because the wheel didn't go all the way to 1080 degrees , i returned it and never bought another. I'll stick to this one until i make a direct drive wheel myself. Now for those who own it and want to upgrade to g27,g29 , just don't!! all of logitech's wheels have the same gear shit system so it's not such a good improvement. The only wheel i would Buy is Fanatec, but i cant afford one now so ... I keep learning how to build one instead.

    I used a driving force GT for years. I recently sold it because it doesn't support PS4 ☹️
    Anyway I bought a G29 and shifter for €220. I don't know what I was expecting but the difference between the g29 and DFGT is minimum. I feel a bit disappointed as I was expecting more of an upgrade. Sure it's more premium and the pedals are better, but the feedback is practically identical.
    When I originally bought the DFGT it blew me away. The G29 is not having that effect on me.

    • @realtalk9195

      Martin... what you wanna do is save up and get the Accuforce direct drive wheel with 13 nm of torque and base for £550 then get the fanatec v3 pedals for £315 and the fanatec shifter for about £200 I find it the cheapest way to go for some very high quality stuff thats probably going to last u 10yrs+ before you think about swapping anything igot a g27 atm lol but im saving 😎

      Martin... Sweet sounds like you got a decent setup. Im still loving my g27 only had it 8 months. I just think there's no point in ever upgrading the weel to a FANATEC which are only belt driven and cost around the same price as the Accuforce direct drive which is a top level machine. Although FANATEC v3 pedals are bad boy they even got vibration motors in the accelerator and brake lol so if you ever upgrade go direct drive mate

    Dropped into a Salvo 2nd hand shop the other day looking for random stuff that pops up on their shelves and saw a Driving Force GT box with a $18 sticker on it. Took a gamble as the dude said if it didn't work i could return it within 7 days. Got home and opened it up and as far as i can see it hasn't got a scratch on it and looks new, even had a 4k HDMI cable with it (no idea why but i'll take it lol). Now after a little configuration i have spent the last 3 days cruising around in GTAV with music cranking just driving around re exploring everything with a steering wheel in first person mode. Just getting out on that highway and putting pedal to the metal weaving thru traffic is so fun and i even don't mind the slower pace in the city obeying road rules and traffic flow. 😀

    @jamtart606 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had a Thrustmaster Ferrari Experience that I used for about a year and it was a really great wheel, bought it second hand for around £30, it was a little bit of a cheap wheel but it worked on all of the latest racing titles (Project Cars 2, Assetto Corsa, FH4 etc)
    Lovely wheel and all that had loads of fun using it, but one of the biggest gripes with the wheel was the fact it only had 180 degree steering which made it unrealsitic.
    I will be honest I should have known more about the LDFG I would have most likely gone for it rather than the TFE as it just logically was way better in every single way.
    Even so, I eventually upgraded my TFE to a Logitech G920 with the H-Shifter and so far it hasn't let me down and it feels 100 times better than my Thrustmaster (I could probably list loads of things)
    But what may be quite a brain twister is that if I had owned a LDFG rather than a TFE I would have most likely not upgraded until around a few years later even considering that niether have the option of extras such as H-Shifters or Pedal upgrades that some of the more expensive steering wheels have.

    Have the dfgt for 2 1/2~ years. Can't regret. All though I have some tips for you if you have some problems with the wheel.
    Don't ever overtighten the shifter with a wrench or a socket wrench. (if it falls off or something like that), metal bar...or screw will like crumble up the plastic inside the shifter. (it doesn't affect the performance of the wheel of anything like that.) it's just a "cosmetic" problem. It feels weird at first, but you can get used to it. Loved the wheel. Although the pedal cable was "naked"; the inner cables after the black isolation thing was pulled somehow when i bought it. I think that is my problem. (this causes in pedals like glitching;turning on/off, working not properly.) This is why I am interested in a g27. The noise...the most frustrating part of the wheel. It's so loud that my sister can hear it loud and clear downstairs. And this is the wheel I learned to drift on. This is why i love this wheel so much. Loved to start from 270 degrees to 360 to 540 to 720 to 900. Thanks to LetsTestDrive I learned this method. (because i was driving with a 30$~ crappy wheel with 180 degrees of angle all the time before buying the dfgt.) 8/10 -2 (-1 because of the forcefeedback being a bit frustrating; a bit weak.) (-1 because of the noise level.)

    I've never used the DFGT so the sound comparison was quite an eye opener for me. As you say though, when you have the game sound cranked up, you don't really notice the noise. However, I quite often drive late when everyone is in bed, so the GT may have been an issue for me had I gone that route.

The gearing/belt on the inside is slipping which means after 15 mins of play the wheel is pointing at 1 o'clock in order to go straight. Had to keep unplugging to re-calibrate. I upgraded to G27 and the first thing I notice was how much smoother it is - less notchy, and the pedals are infinitely better. I do miss the horn button on the DFGT tho' !!!

    Got my G27 today for $200 after the gumtree suggestion, (Cheers) was considering the DFGT but figured the clutch & shifter would be more future proof, either would have been a decent upgrade over my old 180° DF but i couldnt be happier with the G27, especially because i was toying with the idea of buying a G29 before seeing this video

    i use a logitech extreme 3d pro as an ebrake....i face it towards me (opposite if i fly) and pull down on it and it works like charm
    i WISH some1 would use the internals of a flight stick to make an H pattern because moving it around pretending to shift feels far more natural

    • @LetsTestDrive
      @LetsTestDrive  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It really depends if you want a a clutch + h pattern shifter. I don't think I could ever go back to a wheel setup without a clutch+shifter, only because I love drifting + driving manual cars so much.

    • @andreja011
      @andreja011 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @caddy4350
      @caddy4350 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      try to get an used g27,even if you dont drift you will enjoy even more to shift trough the gears by yourself,and you can downshift faster with the h shifter

      @jobeee4570 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Logitech wheels just don't have enough power, really. I drift in sims and like to use 900 degrees when possible and Logitech wheels do not have enough power to return *without* assists.

    • @mouadhamidi8554
      @mouadhamidi8554 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cody Herbert To be honest, allot of games cant make the wheel come back, even if a wheel is more powerful. Games like Assetto Corsa and LFS utilise the full power for the g27, if you go past the full power of a g27 you could strain your wrist easily.

  • @sleekitwan
    @sleekitwan 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good videos. Technical question on this interface aspect in particular: Is it realistic to use the G27 setup to teach a young person how to drive before real-life manual clutch (stick-shift) gearchanges, and conversely, can I make it go into a mode that 'ignores' the clutch pedal so I can drive myself in games, as if with automatic transmission? I have discovered, my health condition is exacerbated and indeed almost caused, by manual gearchange cars (hip & joint problems/sciatica/back problems), and so in real life only drive auto xmission cars. However, it might be best if our daughters learned manual changes. What's your opinion? The clutch etc action realistic enough to make it a decent introduction to real-world hand-foot coordination and so on? Like when it 'bites'? Also, thanks, I Enjoyed and found useful the other vids on Asetto Corsa and rfactor2, because EA and Apple are combining forces to kill Real Racing 3 on my ipad 4! For myself, obvs, I would just get the DF GT setup, but with eldest being on the 'edge of seventeen', it changes the reasons for buying slightly.

    • @LetsTestDrive
      @LetsTestDrive  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the G27 would be great at teaching an up and coming driver the "basics" of muscle memory when driving and shifting through a manual. One thing it can't do is teach the smoothness/fluidity needed when shifting at normal road driving speeds.
      As you'd know it takes a certain finesse to change gears smoothly without the car jolting/jumping/jarring/etc but in all the games I've played you can be pretty rough/fast/sloppy with the clutch and shifter and it will make no difference. Maybe it's different for guys who use motion rigs, as they may be getting feedback via jolts for bad/mistimed gear changes, but I'm not sure.
      There really is no "feedback" provided for clutch bite, especially when taking off, besides visually noticing your car move. Everything feels quite dead/bland in that regard. I don't think any of these games and clutch/shifter combos were designed to replicate/simulate "normal/slow" daily driving. Now with that all being said, at racing speed it's a lot of fun, and I think it would be a great "basic" introduction to what's needed when driving a manual transmission. It's just the "finesse" that will need to be learnt when jumping into a real car. Maybe check out City Car Driving if you're wanting more of a teaching aid for driving, as I *think* that's what it was designed for.
      As for "ignoring" the clutch, all the games I've played have some kind of "auto clutch" option, so you can still use the H pattern shifter and not have to worry about the clutch. You can also use the paddle shifters without the clutch, or go full automatic. All the options are there.

    • @srgg1
      @srgg1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      sleekitwan I know it's a late reply, but to whoever will be reading this i can say that i've purchased g27 precisely for learning how to drive manual transmission cars before jumping in the real car. A year after the purchase I can confirm that this was a good investment as g27 allowed me to learn the basics of driving and i am now driving a real car for more than half a year. The only downside of the g27 (and every other pc wheel setup) is, as has been already mentioned, that you will need to spend some time to learn smoothness of shifting to avoid jolting of the real car when shifting gears as g27 obviously will not provide you with this type of feedback.

      +rFactortest But the thing is i have an budget of 200€ and the g27 is for 180€ on an dutch craiglist/secondhand seller site. And i can find an other cheap wheel with h shifter and clutch. Or clutch usb pedals and usb shifter for the price

    • @marijn3475
      @marijn3475 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +rFactortest Hmn your right. Just an offtopic thingy what in gonna say now: So i said budget is 200€ thats because i for my birthday i wanted an pc upgrade and the rest of the money i wanted to buy an new wheel. But i can also switch it up. Getting that wheel for my birthday and an smaller pc upgrade. I dont know if you know something from pc's but if got an I5-3500P 3.01 Ghz and an amd R9 280X 3Gb and 8gb ram so i dont realy know if the pc upgrade is realy nessacary. So maybe tips of what i should go for?

    • @marijn3475
      @marijn3475 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mmm your right. I can actualy run nearly all games at normal at an stable 60fps. But if looked up, in the netherlands an g29 is 400 Euro plus H shifter. Is there not for that money an cheaper steering wheel plus h shifter and clutch?

    • @marijn3475
      @marijn3475 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the bit of an research. After this message im gonna look for some more stores. The reason why i realy want an shifter is, is i think i play more simulation games (like ETS2 ATS and etc) then racing games. I still like racing games but just the h shifter gives me an much more realistich feeling. So that whas one of the reasons that i wanted the g27. I believe your statements with that it takes space up. But i just want the simulation games to be as realistic as possible with an shifter so that you realy get the feeling that you need to shift correctly and with your clutch. So thats one of the reasons. Im gonna search soe more for cheap prices and will let you know what i found. Marijn,

    • @marijn3475
      @marijn3475 8 ปีที่แล้ว
