i remember when i used to watch videos of the wheel and wish that i could own one but i was too poor and it was depressing thinking id have to order it online and pay a lot to clear it cause of the weight and being in a far away country i watched tons of videos until one day i got a job and used my first pay check to purchase a wheel i found in a store locally it cost a lot but i was able to get it at long last. but it was nice having people make videos about it back then it was the g27 and now i got the g29 just need to buy the shifter and ill be complete!

I use to have G27 years ago and now I have G923 and ill tell you that G27 still holds it's own. Logitech needs to step up their game and really overhaul next generation. Maybe a hybrid system.....direct drive? Fanatec just dropped CSL DD for under $400....thats cheaper than G923....
@toxichazard50152 жыл бұрын
I mean... yeh you're sorta right but when you actually look at it, the Fanatec doesn't come with: A wheel - $200 Pedals - $100 Shifter (optional) - $200 It doesn't even come with a mount... you just cant compare them. You're talking about a $1000 setup in order to have the same kit as a Logitech. For a beginner, that isn't feasible.

Thank you for the video. I'm about to buy a new wheel, but my problem here is that, in South America, is almost impossible to get Thrustmster or any other brand except Logitech. Ive been playing for years with a DFGT, so, I think the "upgrade" should be great. What do you think?

Thanks for answering. As I said, it is almost impossible to get a wheel except for a Logitech, so, I was really trying to decide if it's worth it to import a t150 or something similar.

Agreed 100% with froncoberry,. From a DFGT, the G29 will be a fantastic leap, I went from DFGT to the 27 a number of years back and it really is worth it. DFGT is great for a first wheel, good price and lots of features, but the quality step up between that and a 27/29 is well worth it. I cant speak for the value of a thrustmaster, so I can't say one way or the other if it's worth an imort, but I can highly recommend a new Logitech.

The best comparisson I have seen so far between those two wheels. Why do all g27 wheels seem to spin so weird? They look like they are not "centered", or that the wheel is not round shaped (it looks bigger on the left hand side). Does this affect the driving at all, is it odd?
@GranTurismooink6 жыл бұрын
I've never had any issues with that, it feels natural when driving. It's possible the wheel isn't a perfect circle which is why it looks as if it's not centered?
@unfunny22585 жыл бұрын
Capitán Cebolla PiesdePó yeah it looks way bigger on the left
@Akira-kd6us Жыл бұрын
Pretty late but, simple answer I believe is: those micro misalignments from logitech caused the wheel to spin in a non perfect manner. It could be due to the attachment point of the wheel not being centered, or due to plastic warp/flex or the wheel simply not being a perfect circle. Imagine a stick connected to a bottle cap and if the tip of the stick is off-centered even just by a super tiny bit, the cap would spin oddly. Those old train wheels use this exact mechanism intentionally. Does this affect driving?: No it doesn't, probably won't feel it, even if you do I'm quite sure it wouldn't bother you.

Hi, out of interest which Thrustmster wheel are you referring to as comparative to G29 given your budget?
@GranTurismooink6 жыл бұрын
I think the T500 is a rough competitor, and is nearly double retail price. Even the T300 which I think feature wise is not as strong as the G29 is a good £50 more expensive for the most part. I appreciate that both those thrustmasters use different internals to the logitechs but I suppose it's whether or not that's good value for money :D
@eclap786 жыл бұрын
Lol, the T300 Ferrari Alcantara is £100 more and is a much better wheel, with better pedals too. If you want something similar to the G29, go with the Thrustmaster TX Pro, wheel is on par if not better than the G29 and has better pedals (T3PA) for around £80 less. The G29 is literally the worst wheel for around £250. BTW. T500 a rough competitor to the G29? It's not even close, the T500 is miles ahead of the G29. Most prefer the T300 to the T500 due to T300's belt driven FFB. G29 with it's clunky gears is so 90s.
