Quote from Asphalt Scream :

In the beginnig I mounted the wheel to a small plastic table and put it below the desk like you when I was too lazy to put everything back in the box. after some time I bought a wheel stand wich is foldable and I solved all my problems. I have something tha holds my G25 firmly while playing, that wont fall on the ground due to wheel weight like the small table and that I fold away in a corner when I'm finished playing, even if most of the times I leave it unfolded to not have to readjust it everytime.
I spent some money but it was worth it.

I'd love to have a wheel stand, but unfortunately I don't have room for it.

Quote from mblixt :

i draged all my cables over the table and down on the backside and put all cables in a cable hose and then just put the wheel behind the monitor when not using it

That's actually a great idea, but As before mentioned, my desk is very small, so the monitor is against the wall.

Hey guys.

Most will probably agree with me that the Logitech G25 isn´t exactly the most beautiful room ornament one could imagine, nor is it very discreet with all it´s cables and shifter.

I have a fairly small desk, where I usually have wheel and shifter sitting on the left when not in use, and move it infront of me when I want to play. The only reason I use this solution, is because I can´t find any better way of doing it. What I really would like, is to be able to move it out of the way completely, but the hassle with all the cables and so forth just isn´t worth it. So I was wondering if one of the several G25 users here felt the same way as I do and was hit by a spark of ingeniuity, finding a golden middle path between these two ways of storing the wheel.

Gimme ideas

You can use a virtual mirror. In the Esc -> Driver menu, select either "virtual" or "all" where it says "Mirror mode". What do you mean dashcam though? Can you take a screenshot of what it looks like in one of the cars? (not open wheeler).

There ya go:

Quality of the image isn´t anything you´d write home about, but you can see it.

Thankyou for all your answers. They shall be carried on into my trials of gameplay. One point though. Numerous replies have stressed the fact to use the mirrors all the time, but when I use the "Dashcam" view - which as I mentioned earlier, I found most comfortable - I can´t see the side mirrors on the car. Is there a way to move these to the side of the screen or something, or will I have to get used to the drivers point of view in order to use this?

Hi!

I´ve had LFS for quite some time and during this time I´ve been using kb steering until just recently - where I got so fed up with "On/Off" throttle control and similar steering, which murders your tires and switches you from devastating understeer, to catastrophic oversteer in 0,31 seconds - That I invested in a Logitech G25.

Prior to aquiring the G25, I always used the chase camera feature in LFS, so I could actually see how the car reacted to inputs, due to having no feeling what so ever through the keyboard buttons. With the wheel, it´s a totally different ballgame. I tried a variety of camera postions inside the car, and found that the "Dashcam" view was my thing. I started driving a lot, and after a while I got fairly good to say it myself. I then decided that now the time had come for me to get my ass on a racing server. I went online and joined the starting grid of an XFG/XRG race. I was psyched, this was it. The time had come for my awesomeness to be shown to the world. I went for T1 like there was no tomorrow and was going to out brake all of my competitors, but what happened? I sideswiped a car on my right, then one on my left, and then went flying in to the sand trap.

At that point I realized what I moron I was. You have to be able to see around the car, and this is where my problem lies. I have no idea how I´m suppose to drive with a comfortable camera view, and still being able to see what´s going on around me.

So the question is simply: What camera angles do you guys use, and how do you get an overview of what´s going on around you?

I have to be a complete idiot. I simply can NOT get it working no matter what I try.

does tweak 3 actually work with Z25?
cause all i can see is weird adress lines

Same here.

Quote from Subphonic :

Quick one done in the Ready-to-Render kit while you wait for something fancy...

Only did it 1000px wide, your stripes are blurred on the skin-file, dunno if that's intentional.

For some reason, I couldn´t get photoshop to do what I wanted it to. No matter what I tried, the stripes kept getting blurry.

Thankyou very much anyways

Quote from LeonRL :

Could someone be kind enough to render this skin for me? It´s the first real skin I´ve made and I`m pretty proud of it myself.

I´d like it in this angle (Maybe a bit zoomed out) with a really glassy/reflective floor, nice chrome wheels and a dark background.

I`d really appreciate that

And a request to all: Since it´s a private skin, please show the decensy of not using it.

Noone wants to render mine?

Quote from logitekg25 :

My [TC] ban was removed 3 days ago ... Now, i tested the "selfish ban-meter" ... It worked.

I renamed myself as [DC]>Hazaky< ... and i got ban for it. I told them that its not the same as [TC] ... I also told that, its my new team ... They still ban me ... Well, yeah

Haha! Your fun

I think it´s incredibly lame that another topic has been made, when a poll just has been finished. Sad that some people can´t bear losing.
