I xperienced g25 centering probs and downloaded the wingman version of the logitech software. Centering restored but programs started to give appcrash error including rfactor. I cant even get to the main menu of the game. I suspected the wingman version might be the culprit but uninstalling it didnt solve it. So i restore system points and firefox and google chrome which had also appcrashed now is running fine. Just that i need to reinstall rfactor.

Im gonna install the logitech software that comes with the g25 fer now n see.

After less than 10 laps online just now, the G25 steering decide to go off again. Ive uninstalled LGS and ClrCalib after that. Even changing usb ports. But I havent try all. Maybe i do that now.

The frustrating part is, u cant restore it in game even with reset ffb (coz ffb still there...only wheel not responding) and enable/disable hardware plugin.

Even the motor that ctrls the lock changes and giving strange locks. Sometimes the wheel just pull to one lock and stay there all stiffen up. like the motor is stuck to that direction. I dunno if its hardware or software related. hmmm...

Googled around and tried most of them.

Havent try momo...i think got few more options. I found this link on GRID forum and so far it has worked. Delete G25 registry entry, unplug the wheel, and plug again ....let vista reinstall fresh driver and registry entry. Race just now was ok 10 laps..and practice for few laps. fingers crossed.

problem came back even after doing the steps above. But now seems to be working OK. Wut I did was go on a USB hunt. I unplug the cable and plug it in to all usb available. I stick to the one that auto calibrate the wheel on plugging. Then I check the registry entry of all logitech softwares and deleted them. Then i installed a fresh one from the logitech site.

Now just a tad off center that i can live with. Few laps in rfactor showing some positive signs. Hope it stays.

Neah....the wheel gradually goes off-center as i do laps untill it finally go totally away when i snap it to catch my tail. Last resort is to try it on fresh OS.

[maranello55]

ok...fresh OS and logitech driver 5.04 x64. Solid steering fer now. The center is not as loose as previously...which i think is the culprit of the off centering. 20 over laps in Bahrain online is good. No sign of it going off center fer now. fingers crossed.

I hope it does the trick. It would be sad that your G25 snaps during the race !!!

[maranello55]

Fingers crossed! thanks and good luck for the race!

the calibration lost again while practicing for bahrain race last nite. I cant risk losing points again so i fire up my momo with g25 pedals. I was ok. RMA just the steering wheel will take 3 to 4 weeks. Thinking of getting a second g25 for the time being and sell the RMA unit once it got back.

Just got a fresh tip online...

Uninstall logitech software and clear registry off of any 'logitech' and 'g25' entries. Unplug from usb and power. Reboot. Plug it in and let vista detect it and install vistas own drivers. Tested in on the vista game controller calibration, wheels never had an off center moments.....no matter how long and vigorous i turn the wheels. Compared to logitech calibration interface, it goes off center and lost calibration almost instantly.

Some point out it could be the software problem and some say it is the 64bit version problem. Personally, i think i never think its a hardware problem when u can get centering at one place and cant at another.

Tested in Barca and its working with vista drivers. But it is strange that it still give my 400deg info as the lock even after i uninstalled and clear registry of logitech. Wonder where vista gets that information. Still have some traces of logitech maybe?

Im not giving it out to RMA until testing everything.

How about XP? I mean win XP?

[maranello55]

Should work on winxp sp3 i think...will try that.

Plug g25 back and log in into the fresh vista, and run barca flawlessly.....wut could be the factor of this calibration fiasco!??? One thing ive unplugged the wheels for last nite race and plug it in again. But ive tried that too before but never work. sigh

One thing abt the vista (windows...not logitech) drivers tho....the center is very lose...only getting feedbacks vertain dgree into a turn.

[maranello55]

Finally....a better and probable source of the problem and solution (warranty void). But im not sure im gonna try it

[maranello55]

The last resort, using g25 with XP sp3 32bit still resulting in mis calibration in the same way as vista 64bit. Ive decided to RMA my wheel. Shop said i just have to bring the wheel and keep the shifter n pedals of course. 3-4 weeks.

Unfortunately theres no 1on1 relpacement in malaysia for G25.

Im due to use my MOMO for till the beginning of the europe rounds.
