    Excellent idea! I think it might be difficult to beat the Logitech feedback, but I think that there is some advantage to having the same engine send data simultaneouslty to both the seat and wheel! Currently, the wheel movements are not always completely in Sync with the seat due to the different software engines. It could feel more realistic if powered by X-Sim assuming the proper motion profile!

    Thanks bernard and mike,
    bernard i agree with you is it many better to use the same values.if i drive without the sim the feeling is not so many better with the wheel,but with the sim is many more realistic.

    Niels, again MANY THANKS for your great work :thbup: !

    I also want to enter the list of the G25-profile-awaiting-people :D ! Maybe we should send a petition to them *lol*.

    Niels, one question: Using the profile for this wheel means the need for a second/third profiler or is it possible to use it within a normal profile ? At the moment I don't know whether it shows similar problems/behaviour as the bass shaker plugin (we talked about it)...
