Logitech G27
Hi guys,
Been playing ETS2 for a few years now on and off using keyboard method of control. Just delved into the mod side of the game after all this time and have downloaded and installed Promods, what an experience that was. Rusmap next i hope.
Thinking of buying a second hand G27 but need to know if i will need any software to set it up and use it. Some sellers on EBay stating no software with gear offered for sale. I have Acer Predator gaming laptop so i have no CD drive on it but can get external one if needed.
Any advice greatly appreciated. Almost 60 so not too tech savvy if you know what i mean but i can get things done eventually lol. Thanks.

I use the g27, I think it really. good.

All you need is the Logitech Gaming Software.
This sets up you wheel with windows and allows you to modify how you want it to respond.
Then you can auto find it within ETS2 and modify in game settings.
I can help with both of those to get you going if needed.

Funny that, I am 60 at the end of the year, but I am pretty tech savvy, been working with computers since 1980 when they was the size of a house and less powerful than a watch.

Hi SecretOne
Thanks for the info much appreciated.
Is it possible to obtain the software from other sources if the seller no longer has it or should i just buy one from someone who includes it in the sale?

You can still get it from Logitech as it is the same software used by their "newer" wheels etc.

I get a newer version of the Logitech Gaming Software listed.
Ahhh, the one you listed is 32bit, the one I listed is 64bit.

I wish you luck, G27s are worth their weight in gold it seems.

I myself have a G920 with the stick attachment. Aside from dampener on the Brake pedal making it too stiff, I'm quite happy with it. I understand G29 is also well liked because of more buttons.
for the G27 you require an older LGS version ... you need 5.10

You are quite right
Kenton listed the link above.
I have included it here. Both 32 bit and 64 bit are available from that page.

I was always buying cheap wheels, but they were always a dissaster. From the moment I bought G27 I never regret it. Althought G29 arrived, I went to a local store and I told them to find me a brand new G27 no matter if they will have to search around the planet. Well, what can I say? Even its pedals were heavier than the whole cheap wheels :)

Its performance is absolutely great and G27 worth all its money. I even made my own DIY SKRS shifter and I very pleased.

IMO G27 was the BEST wheel Logitech made.

As others said here, you need to download the Logitech's drivers. Unless you using Linux like I do. If yes, then you will need some additional drivers and also force feedback drivers. I recommend those from Berama; his Oversteer and his new lg4ff drivers.

p.s.1. If you can get a G27 in a good condition, go for it. It worths its money !!!
p.s.2. If you will want to drive automatic, don't go for G27. G27 is PERFECT for manual driving :)
