[@HappyWheelFan2013]

I sold my g27 years ago that I got as a gift. Decided to get back into sim racing with vr, and found a dfgt for $25 US without the pedals, grabbed new thrustmaster t3pa pedals for $80, and I also got a driving force shifter for $60. There's USB adapters for both the pedals and shifter. Works great in Dirt Rally and the usual sim racers. Barely notice a difference between it and my old g27 other than the quality of the products used to make the wheel. Some games won't let you use separate pedals, unfortunately, but they're not games I'm lost without playing. Also if you get some lithium grease on the gears in the wheel, it lowers the sound considerably. $165 for a full usable 3 pedal H-pattern setup with a $60 eBay rig that you set a standard chair up to. Feels incredibly immersive with VR as long as you use a chair that doesn't roll and swivel 🤣

Hi everyone, I've used my driving force gt for 8 years now and have played around 1600-1800 hours on it. I love the wheel for its simplicity and how it looks. However, I have some issues with it. after the 1000 hour mark things started to make a lot of noise and it can be very annoying for the people around you. also are there some spots where the ffb completely loses its power. The compatibility is also quite hard to get to work with some titles. But if you look at the price it's impossible to say it's not worth your buck. If you don't have much money to spend I really re4commend this steering wheel since it's been reliable since 2013 for me. I hope this helps someone to make a decision.

I remember after getting my first DFGT that I found a G27 for a good price, ended up preferring the DFGT because of the single motor feel.

[@snips7653]

I got my DFGT in 2012, brand spanking new lol. Used it for 8 years, its a pretty decent wheel for beginners. But the speed of this wheel is just awful, so instead of spending hundreds of dollarydoos for a new wheel. I modded the thing, a gear mod was able to sufficiently bring the speed up so I can drift well with it but it effectively killed the torque of the ffb. So then i wanted more, using 30$ worth of random stuff i was able to make it a belt driven wheel, yes, a belt drive. Changed all the inner electronics with custom new ones incl. new motor etc. Its basically a mini T500 at this point. I have a test video over at my channel if you're curious abt it. Great video btw highlighting this obscure wheel from the past

I purchased my DFGT brand new in 2008, shortly after I bought my ps3. I remember actually regretting the purchase for a while as I struggled to control the cads in game, so much so I boxed it back up a shoved it in my closet for a few months. I eventually got it back out and set it up on my ironing board that I used as my wheel stand and started to enjoy it. I still use this wheel exclusively the pedals leave a lot to be desired but they are very functional and seem durable. The only thing that has failed for me is my power cord which was pinched at some point around 2010 and 2012 requiring rewiring and in the last few months the power socket is failing. I attribute this to the very poorly designed ports on the base. They angle down towards the mounting surface. In fact I honestly have been expecting this particular failure for about 10 years now.

[@SimRacingCorner]

It was great to hear feedback on your experience with the DFGT, thanks very much.

Yeah before I modded mine I also had problems with the cables, for me its the USB cord that started to fall apart after a couple years of use

It’s a very reliable wheel. I actually prefer mine over a G29 wheel. I bought a Playseat complete with driving force wheel and pedals for £95 on an eBay auction. I already had a Driving Force GT wheel, so I sold the wheel that came with it for about £50 on eBay. So I ended up with a Playseat for about £70 after postage and eBay fees selling the wheel.

Another Upgrade is a 14€ thrustmaster flight joystick acting as a hydro E-brake (it has a nice spring) Absolutely satisfied so far I've tried my mates t300rs it was better but didn't feel like i need one asap it wasn't a game changer tbh and the sequential shifter near the wheel is also cool so i have a complete setup for 60€

[@NightFyreTV]

I’ve had my driving force gt since 2010 when I got it for Christmas with Gran Turismo 5. I must have used that thing every single day that year until I graduated and life things happened. This year was digging through family attic for something and found it. I have to say , it’s still very much a great product for today. I love this thing and just like back in 2010 , I use it daily. I have a lot of love for this steering wheel. I strongly suggest making the purchase if you aren’t sure you wanna commit entirely to a racing sim setup. I do a lot of drifting with the setup compared to sim racing was in GT5 … I set the shifter up for handbrake and up shift , use the wheel paddles for shifting. No clutch pedal! But you can buy on separately or possibly even get a pedal set that is compatible with the driving force gt.

[@PatalJunior]

8:48 I belive it has a dead zone because it is a gear driven wheel , instead of the T300RS that uses a belt driven wheel, and you can only get so much precision from gears.

[@XMG3]

I own both DFGT and G29, one for my son and one for me, the only difference between the 2 are DFGT is more nosier and G29 is slightly more precise as it has more steering input resolutions, other than that, everything else feels the same. For none sim racers, DFGT is definitely the better budget option.

After a long break from sim racing (using this wheel on gran turismo 5) I’ve recently come back again to play GT sport on PS4. I was annoyed I couldn’t use this driving force gt on PS4, instead I picked up a TM T150 second hand and now upgraded to a G923 but still I don’t feel like either is an upgrade over the DFGT, I think that should tell that it’s still a really good wheel. Somehow (as I remember) the DFGT was really good at picking out details in the force feedback, something that blew my mind when I bought it back in 2010. I miss the placements of the buttons and I really miss the sequential gear shifter because it was perfect to program as handbrake and reverse, it was so easy to quickly grab it to do a swift reverse and obv very handy as a handbrake. I can only agree with this video because if you can use it with games on pc it should be a very good and cheap alternative to start out or if you still want to play games on ps3.

I never even considered buying a new wheel once I found my DFGT worked on Windows 10, but I am going to add some load cell pedals and a H pattern shifter for a more authentic experience. I will definitely keep racing this wheel until I can get my hands on a reasonably priced DD base with a couple of wheels.

I remember begging for this along with GT5 from my parents. Really keen on the idea of getting a bit of practice driving before I could take lessons. Didn't have a desk to mount it too, which is quite important (imagine wrestling a force feedback wheel on your lap!). Thought it was three pedals and 6 speed shifter, which would have been more realistic for driving practice. Basically didn't do my research and the thing was wasted on me.

Bought mine 9 years ago, still have it. Recently it's been having serious issues, probably driver related, though a reinstall didn't fix it. The wheel occasionally pulls to force feedback to center as if no game was running, but the game is running. Pressing a button on the wheel makes the force feedback turn the wheel. Before the driver reinstall I could use it for 5 seconds and all inputs were stuck. If I floored it first, it was stuck floored, no buttons or wheel worked. Like WTF...

@@doubleddrames8336 This is going to be a long one... Right now I'm trying to save money for other things. I don't have enough time to play to justify spending the money on a new wheel and pedals. I took apart my old pedals and tried to find replacement potentiometers but it's like they don't exist. You can still buy new ones for a G25/G27, but those are different. I considered buying just the G25/G27 pedals from someone and getting the adapter but there aren't many of them for sale where I live. In fact I just looked and there isn't a single one for sale. It's either the steering wheel + pedals, or nothing. At which point I might as well buy them brand new because they hold their value so damn well. A working DFGT sells for the same price I bought it at. And mine is a pretty early one. I bought it around 2009, brand new. I tried the G29 and the T150 but I wasn't impressed with either one. They aren't worth their price in my opinion. I borrowed the G29 from a friend. In half a year it developed a click in the brake pedal and it had wheel wobble. I wasn't impressed with the force feedback either. I bought a T150 Pro and then returned it for 3 main reasons. 1. The pedals are terrible. I had wobble on the brake and clutch from day one. The throttle was squeaky. Sure you can take it apart and grease it (like many people have done), but that's not something you do when the thing is a week old. It's been in production for a few years. At this point it's absurd to find glaring quality issues like this. Also no teeth for use on carpet. It's a ridiculous oversight and they didn't fix that in the T248 either... 2. I can hear the fan while wearing headphones. It's annoying. 3. The wheel itself... You know how you can feel the gears of the force feedback system in the DFGT? Well the T150 has that too. Except those teeth "happen" around once every 3° of rotation and the amount of force you need to turn the wheel is inconsistent because of this. I can't really explain it better but it's an absolute deal breaker for me. I role play more than I race and if I set the force feedback strength to match the power steering of a real car, I end up with literally no force feedback and a wheel that feels like something inside it is binding, but not constantly. Unfortunately I don't see anything on the market below the T300 that I would even consider spending this much money on.

It actually fits a 50mm desk, not 30mm. The end of the clamps are detachable to give this extra room.

[@martincolombo3986]

I bought a used one during the pandemic and I enjoyed it so much! My first FFB wheel. Sadly something broke inside after like 3 years of use. I could sell the working parts though.

[@MrDanielsahne]

Bought it today used for 50€ in very good condition.

[@Rage0nem]

i just brought 1 and its an amazing wheel i like it better than my g29

[@KazuyaYuza]

Great review!

[@SimRacingCorner]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Earley405]

Still use mine after years. All I've needed was a new AC adapter lol. Now I'm getting more into SIm racing and will prob just save and save until I get up enough for a Fanatec setup.

[@Waspinvr]

I have a DFGT and i use it on my PS4 with a Brook Super Convertor, great for drifting in GT Sport

[@salaciouscreations4323]

Jam a squash ball under the pedals it makes them better. I got one for my PS3 playing grand turismo dirt 3. It's a great wheel sadly it was deliberately nerfed for the PS4

[@Scottylaj79]

I still use this on ps4 with the Brooks converter. I didn’t want to buy a new setup not knowing if it would work with ps5. Works great on gt sport and assetto corsa compitizione 🍻

[@timote68]

Hello, which converter do you use? Could you please give me a link to the one you're using? And does it need a PC next to the PS4 or it work by itself? I have got the DFGT and want to use it on GT SPORT Thanks!

[@Scottylaj79]

@@timote68 i just googled brooks converter ps3 to ps4 was 40 bucks but i think they are a bit more pricey right now.

[@rsjm_]

I bought this second hand some time ago and it has been a nice wheel, however on idle the ffb motor was causing the wheel to rattle and make noises - maybe because it's just second hand, not sure.. I am now trying the Driving Force Pro, which imo feels much better with its rubbery and grippy material. I know the the GT is more advanced with its better motor, more buttons and better layout, thus I cannot decide which one to keep....

[@SimRacingCorner]

I haven't tried the Driving Force Pro, it's difficult to find in the UK, where the GT is very easy to find.

[@hakkuri7876]

Greetings and great video, well explained and with lots of detail in the review. I can confirm that this wheel is amazing for what you paid for it, i have one at home that i treasure alot, i have not used it for some time, but now i want to dust it off under my table and set it up for some racing. Got mine for about 90 dollars, but it came fully working with all accessories in great condition. Included with the wheel was the Wheelstandpro, hence why it was a little bit more expensive, but it's really nice to be able to fold it up and hide it under the table when not in use, and i also wanted to have the wheelstandpro if i wanted to play around with friends and VR Dirt rally (it was really cool effect to be able to look around the car while driving) but in all fairness, it was cumbersome to setup with more cables and such, but cool to be able to play it in VR. :) Quality of this wheel is plastic, but its the "good" plastic that wont break, one downside of this wheel is that it is a little bit on the loud side, so wont be playing it after GF is going to sleep, but im not an expert with wheels in general, so i cannot compare it to any other, so i dont know if it is louder than the rest or not. And the force feedback is really heavy, hitting a corner hard will really bumb you !! especially if you set force feedback at max and the game is savage! ;)

[@dainiukas13]

i used to have this wheel, cruising in gran turismo with it was a blast. such a great wheel i just bid in an auction for one :)

[@jameshunt1516]

Great video! Is this a good wheel for playing OMSI 2 and Euro Truck Simulator 2?

[@SimRacingCorner]

I would think it would be.👍

[@zakspeed76]

I'm still running a DF Pro wheel and its still as good as the day I bought it nearly 15 years ago. My only frustration is the pedals and that's got me looking at newer set-ups. This has got me wondering if it's just worth buying buying decent set of pedals and keeping the wheel for a bit longer.

[@SimRacingCorner]

If you're still happy with the performance of the wheel then just upgrading your pedals is not a bad idea at all.

[@danebeauchemin]

Copped one today at a thrift store for 20 cad. Super fun so far

[@SimRacingCorner]

Nice!!

[@danebeauchemin]

@@SimRacingCorner Never sleep on thrift store goods. I found an xbox one there

[@Ts0usermax]

It is possible to make it recognized as custom wheel in project cars, you need to change the drivers, not sure about automobilista2.

[@RitterlichOX]

I gut mine for 35€ with Pedals but no PSU and Bought a 24V PSU for 9€.

[@Matthias130]

I found an adapter on Amazon allowing me to use it on the PS4. Still running strong!

[@swissix4947]

I used this all the years for Farming simulator. Im plannin to use it in Forza Horizon 5 soon.

[@harkrits.nagpal6505]

5 Years ago, I bought one of these at a garage sale for 10 CAD, unopened. So yeah, its bang for buck alright

I bought one for 80 euro fully modified ( with custom paddles and a custom shifter) with carbon fiber details

[@Bentz5000]

Busy cleaning mine up now for Wednesdays RR league race ✊ Edit: purchased around 2012 for PS3 but flawless on PC now.

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

this is the wheel that started it off for me.

[@Famsysthing]

I found someone selling it used for 15€ I reckon it's a good buy. I haven't had a racing wheel before and I'm interested in getting into them

[@t_leite]

here I am, playing EA Sports WRC on my DFGT, the only con of this wheel is undoubtly the noise, and, for the same reason (gears), a bit slow on some situations

[@arrowsplit8659]

ive got one and im loving it ive had one for a few months now

[@abdullahz4804]

I think i bought mine like 8 years ago? and it cost me 35 pounds second hand also. I delivered the plates in for my car so i figured i'd pull it out hence i cant drive my car at the minute hehe

Hi, i recently bought a driving force GT and like you, i am missing the pedals. Do you have any suggestions for replacements other than the momo pedals?

Never owned one myself, but I regularly race against people who do.

[@jeff666p]

Ive had mine since nfs shift 1 came out. I like it but would like something alittle faster its hard to drift with it. I would also like a clutch pedal. Too cheap to replace it since it still works and i rather use the money for car mods in real life. Been looking at the inverted pedals from fantec for awhile though

[@anticommoncore4065]

Great review. I've owned my GFGT for 10 years, still good as new. I can't seem to get it to work in Nascar Heat5, on Steam. When I enter the track, it just floors it in reverse, and I can't leave the pits. Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated. Also, what carting PC game is that? Looks like a fun drive. Thanks!

[@SimRacingCorner]

In the Logitech Profiler software there's an option to reverse the pedal axis. I think that's the problem you've got there. Some games need it set in the Logitech Profiler, some don't. The Karting game is KartKraft.

[@Lumix_Corrupt]

Do you know the length between the two clamps? I have my current setup on a set of drawers, so if this requires clamping down I would need to know whether I can cut out a portion of the drawer face such that the clamps can be inserted into the first half of the drawer

[@locked01]

In windows 10 (possibly after an update), I cannot set mine to lock at less than 900 degrees. It's like the locking doesn't work anymore. Plus it doesn't feel like it autocenters itself when I'm editing a curve... On PS3 although it works flawlessly.... I really don't get it.
