I think that T3PA is a must but i liked the resistance off g27 pedals more. But wheel trustmaster is better and stronger then g27.
edit: but i think those rubbers Trustmaster could have bin less sliding.

Changed my 5year old modded g27 to a T300 GT Ferrari Alcantara (with T3PA pedals) with the Ferrari F1 AddOn Wheel, and i have to say, it feels way more better than the g27.
The G27 still worked fine
only thing i had to repair, was the encoder wheel few years ago, but i guess that is a usuall problem with this wheel.
Okay, the first T300 i got, was broken... out of the box... but i got a replacement after few days and now it works fine

G27.
nothing odd, sorry.

T150 wheel feels pretty nice, though it's rather heavy steering wise. I like how the paddle shifters feel on the T150 - very responsive and a solid click noise (unlike the paddle shifters on G27 that feel cheap and can be triggered easily).
Pedals are entirely plastic. They are decent, they can get the job done but do not feel good and have very little travel both on the gas and brake pedal. There's also deadzone for both pedals when they are either entirely pressed down or if you try to slightly use the gas/brake pedal.
^you can order separate TR pedals because T150 supports both T3PA and T3PA PRO pedals which will fix the issue.
Also, worth mentioning - the T150 is not ideal if you are into drifting. Despite the fact that T150 has strong FFB, it is not quick. I've been drifting in LFS with the G27 for about 3 years and with the DFGT for 2 years, the T150s FFB is simply too slow.
Have had the T150 since the beginning of 2016. I haven't used it that frequently in LFS, I mostly race in AC. Still acts as it was brand new. No issues with the pedals so far (except for the little deadzone that has been around since I got it).

had a DFGT - broke down right after the warranty was over
had a G27 - after the warranty was over had pedal tracking issues (spiking etc). a good clean helped but it would come back eventually and just annoy you
now got a T150 and the plastic pedals are better than the ones on G27.

G27 - with a backup can of contact cleaner for the pedals.
G27, not the best wheel you can get, but great for the price.
This video really reminds me of when I used to have my G27. Will probably just be using mouse till i get some spare money.

looks fun and you do well using keyboard and i would struggle to drive as good with my g27
I could be that the encoder is slipping on the shaft, a drop of contact glue will do the trick than. This slipping is a common problem even when it is not cracked.
You can also buy a new encoder wheel:
https://www.shapeways.com/product/4FDSWS6CS/encoder-g25-g27-60-slot
you can get this printed version or a brass version:
http://cmlaserservice.com/page_g25_g27_optical_encoder_wheel.html
I opted for the printed one because it is cheaper and I don't have to wait a half a year for it to ship out to me. (to be fair, they didn't have any in stock back then. I don't know about now)
It printed one worked great for me, it shipped within a week and I'm using it now for over 2 years without any problems.
This guy sells 30 and 60 slot versions
60 slot is for G25 and early G27 later G27 wheels use the 30 slot version.

Hello and welcome
You can buy a Logitech G27 for quite cheap nowadays and they have pretty decent FFB.

Are there still newcomers to this sim? Awesome! Hello to everyone. I have had this game ever since 2005, left it for a couple of years (because of work) but I'm back with my G27
Would you recommend to also get Assetto Corsa?

How it works for me with G27:
gears:
-set Clutch to "axis"
-set gearshift mode to "shifter"
-assign all 1-6 gears
-select a car with H-pattern gearbox (for ex Lx4, Raceabout)
ffb:
-force strength > 0
-force feedback: "yes"
-in profiler: "allow game to adjust controller settings" (not sure what is excact wording in english) and set rotation to same as the LFS cars

I have a G29 [which is the PS version of the G920] and can confirm that it is a console wheel FIRST AND FOREMOST as well as a wheel that can be used for PC.
Support and software functionality on the PC are less than what you get on a G25 or G27 for example. But having said that, I've yet to find a game where it didn't work as I wanted it to.

Hi guys, many thanks for taking this up.
Ped, thanks. Great info to take a look.
lfs.exe was downloaded from this page and it installed the demo version of LFS. After playing 15/30min in order to check that G27 was well set up, I came back to lfs.net and bought S3 License (bought it on Feb 01st).
After that I couldn't unlock it any more.
Guys, as a reply to above quotes, yes. That channel you are looking at YT (MrJoelAlonso) was made 7/8 years ago, and those vids you were looking at were made using a cracked version of LFS. That YT account is no longer being updated by me or anyone else.
My new YT Channel (if you want to check it) is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgdYSk9pp5ve3POVHvdVTZw
Nowadays running a complete different PC (in fact on Feb 01st was the FIRST time LFS was installed in the PC I currrently use), my goal is to support devs to develope new contents and to support their efforts in keeping game up to date as I'm doing with Assetto Corsa, pCars, Automobilista and 10 other differents sims I bought via Steam.
Ped, many thanks once again, will try that and lets see what happens.

dfgt is a lot more reliable than t150 (atleast by my experience), had dfgt for years with no problems, last year switched to brand new t150 (dfgt finally gave in), pedals broke after 2 months, returned it and got replacement, 2 months and wheels internals gave in, returned it and got used g27 instead and haven't had any problems since. But when t150 actually works its hands down way better than dfgt

Keep in mind that i live in Chile, all the electronics came very expensive, the G27 it's sold in second hand website sales and it's nor very cheap (and it sells without the box, thing that I need to bring it to the conventions). Also, if i need to sell the DDFGT, i cannot sell it with that probkem (even with that 'noise')
For now i'm looking for a solution to fix the wheel. Any help will be appreciated

The mouse and/or keyboard controls are very different from what you might expect from other racing games. They take some time to get used to.
A wheel is highly recommended for LFS, especially one with force feedback (e.g. Logitech G25/G27/G29). IMO, LFS still has the best force feedback implementation of any racing sim.

Interesting. I had different issues when I had my DFGT (it would make weird rattling noises when turned to right) but it eventually died and the only things that seemed to work were the buttons on the wheel, the wheel itself stopped working.
Too bad there are no responses on Logitech forums atm. I had the same issue. When I posted posts after posts about the issues I was dealing with the only response I got was, ''reinstall your drivers''.
If you are planning to buy a G27 from Logitech, you can try to do what I did. Basically around summer time they seem to give out discount codes for their products to their loyal customers. I emailed them on their website about the fact that my DFGT broke down and eventually they gave me out a loyalty discount code (which was 50 percent for a new wheel). So keep that in mind, you might be able to get a G27 for a lot cheaper!

Get a G27 off Gumtree, they're extremely cheap ($150)
Unwanted DFGT vibration (and other problems)
Hi
I've asked for this problem on other forums without results. So, i'll try to post here and get a succesful response. Keep in mind that i'm not good in electronics or in self repair.
I've bought a Driving Force GT and I started to attend to a anime & geek convention in my city where I allow to people to play on the wheel some racing games with FFB (incluiding LFS, dont worry, it's the demo version), even with the use, the wheel still works as a charm. But some time ago my Driving Force GT started to vibrate when it's centered, and IDK how and why that's happends.
Here's a video with the issue
And here's the gears inside the wheel
Somebody told me that the encoder wheel is broken, but i've checked it and it's no broken or cracked, but maybe i can change it. Whel i puill off the wheel from the mechanism also i've pulled off the encoder wheel, si, in the try to put it again on the encoder itself, in a beggining it stopped to work, now it works again but with problems: The vibration is even worse and now the wheel makes a sound when it turns. Here's a video about that
The encoder wheel is not 100% parallel to the encoder itself, and i'm thinking to grease the gears but IDK what kind of grease use.
Im planning to sell this wheel to buy a G27, but in that state I can't do it. Please, any adivce to fix it, thanks!

45 degrees for those drift cars, bloody hell if that happens I need to get my G27 back. Falken server comeback huh?!
You guys have money for T500rs or g27 and you crying here becouse you don't have £12 for s1? what is wrong with this brazil country lol
