[quote]Ohh and your post above the Turbo S does have paddle shifters if that is what you were talking about. I think you said no peddle shifters.
As I understand it, all the Fanatec wheels have paddle shifters on the wheel. They had to convence Porsche that they needed them. I guess that was some of the license holdup according to what I read.
yeah they are like hybrid buttons, bigger than a regular button but not a full fledged paddle shifter like on most other wheels.
still been doing research on my G27 vs Turbo S comparison.
Another +1 for the Turbo S is that it comes with 2 shifters, one is the 6+1 speed and one is a sequential.
right now playing dirt 2 on my momo I like to use the sequential shifter as my e-brake kinda feels real that way, but of course if I got the G27 or Turbo S I would be using the clutch + 6 speed shifter so while I like the idea of the sequential shifter and it is a nice bonus I wonder just how useful it would be.
my next step is to find out if the turbo is truly is limited edition, when they sell all 3000 units they wont make any more? thats kinda lame probably some catch 22 there.
I found a video of the g27 noise and while much less grindy than the G25 it still makes some sound, so the Turbo S is got the win on sound, then again nobody is probably going to be playing in a volume so low as to not cover up the small amount of noise the G27 makes.
Pedals, I think the G27 pedals are much better than the default Turbo S ones, but not as good as the club sport. Again how far are you willing to go? If your a sim racer and this is your main thing, the $500 price tag of the Clubsport is just an "investment" but if your a gamer and racing games are just one part of your assortment of games and you just want a wheel to use its probably too much and so I think the G27 takes the win in overall value and accommodations.
The Turbo S is compatible with the G25 pedals so maybe it works with the G27 ones? and that also means Maybe the G25/G27 can use the clubsport pedals? Take that back I know it can because that 5 wheel shootout I linked above all 5 wheels were using the clubsport pedals but I think it acts as a separate device and that may not be compatible with a wide array of games.
Also something fanatec didnt advertise is the turbo s pure the cheapest one that is the wheel only, according to a video I saw it works for 360/pc/ps3 via usb, they advertise it as xbox360 ONLY unless you buy the $50 wireless usb dongle. So it seems that you do not need to use the wireless adapter and can plug right in with the USB cable if thats true the advertisement of 360 only without the adapter is pretty false and dishonest.
