Thxs GF ill have a look now.
I spent 45 minutes trying to set a g25 up on my friends computer for him last night, 45 minutes!!! we eventually gave up. The setup seems a bit of a nightmare compared to say Toca 3 :/

Im aware Im missing something. but is there a g25 setup guide I can be pointed toward?

Yea I had the axis on accelerator/brake linked in the logitech properties, so I probably would have been there another 5 weeks had I not read the other post

So am i right in setting the wheel at 240 instead of 270 someone told me the other day its a 270 degree wheel were as im sure its 240..

also in steering settings for each car do u need to change anything there to get a better feel ?

Personal preference I'd say. My G25 has much more rotation available but I prefer to limit it.

It's 270°

The way to set up logitech wheels should apply to your wheel if you have the option - have a look at the last paragraph in my wheels guide in my sig

So my MS ff is defo 270

i have read your guide.. and it says for MS FF

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel

Old and discontinued, but a good wheel, expect to pick one up from eBay for £5-£10 (~$10-$20) excluding postage (which, due to the size and weight of a wheel could easily be as much, if not more, than the wheel itself!). This wheel has 240° of rotation and FFB

just goes to show the pace of life living in east anglia... LOL

i used to have a MS FF wheel - to be honest i used to change it a bit here and there.. whether it be 240 or 270 it won't make a huge difference.

the most interesting social event this year in my Village.

A scare-crow competition.

WTF - this is like one of the villages of Midsummer Murders!
I use 720 degrees for my G25, if I use any less the wheels (and wheel animation) go way too fast!
I thought it felt totally unrealistic driving the FOX with 720 degree.
