Just bought G27 and... not good feelings

[Óscar Melero]

When turning right in every game a clatter sound surprise me often (most of the time). Every other thing with it it's great. Upgraded from a DFGT and I'm honestly happy with the pedals. But returning to the main topic and most important question:

I saw on many forums that this rattle when turning right is normal and appears to happen in most g27's. The thing is... should I worry about it? Is it going to break in any moment because this clatter?

Thx for reading and happy new year to all there!

I'm sure this is a gear driven thing(maye I'm wrongG25/27DGFT are gear driven, maybe @Blkout can help you, wheel guru

To make it feel more safe, I set my FFB much lower than 100% in the games.

In Profiler I set the overall strength to 107%, but the other settings at 0%, including centering spring.

Then in-game it's set to about 25-35%.

Yea, the G25/27's have that clacking sound when turning sharply or going over curbs. It has to do with the mechanical stops inside the wheel base. Its normal but its one of the main reasons I sold my G27, just too noisy for me.

I noticed that on the g27 not so much on the dfgt vo

But it'll break from that? I'm worried that one time instead of a clack I hear a crack.

The G27 is very durable, people usually get at least 3-5 years out of them.

Ok thx for replying and happy new year. I hope to get that minimum 3 years.

I Set my Profiler to 107%
then use the "Calibrating your force feedback wheel using wheelcheck and ffbclip"
Some very good info there. For each car track combo it gives you different settings
Mine tends to be anywhere between 40 to 80% that I put into the in game "generic" setting in the setups page
