Euro Truck Simulator 2 – Is Logitech Driving Force GT Plug and Play?

Having done a lot of driving various racing games with a wheel and pedals, I'd say "it depends".

Pro:

• The game can give you experience in scenarios that are rare in real life, but where a split-second decision can mean the difference between walking or driving away - or worse. For example, Grand Prix Legends gave me experience and confidence that I could then apply to winter driving. The "natural" reaction in a skid or slide is to hit the brakes, which only makes things worse. Instead, a gentle counter-steer and judicious use of the throttle (and maybe a touch of trail-braking - but just dragging the pads, not stomping on it!) will keep you on the arc of the corner and in control of the vehicle. (See "four-wheel drift")
• In general, the games will teach you to anticipate and "look ahead" for trouble. A common problem with most real-life drivers is that they only look at the car in front of them. Instead, you should be looking as much as 1/4 to 1/2 mile down the road - through the car in front of you. This is especially crucial at higher speeds.

Con:

• Things will normally happen a lot faster and with greater intensity in the game than in real life. The problem comes when you start to crave or seek that intensity.
• Related to the previous point, in most games the goal is to drive as fast as you can and there are no significant consequences for the minute mistakes that such speed is bound to produce. In real life the consequences are much more dire and there's no "Restart" option.

I'd say that, if you find yourself starting down the path toward problems - driving aggressively, regularly exceeding the speed limit, etc., you need to take a careful look at yourself. In my personal opinion, racing games have made me a better driver. But then, I don't text or talk on the phone (except with a hands-free setup), drive at excessive speeds, etc. The influence of the games has been on my observation and anticipation of trouble ahead, and knowing with some degree of confidence how to handle that trouble.

GRID supports the Logitech Driving Force, Driving Force Pro and G25 wheel only.

But if you follow this recipe, GRID can work with G27 as well :

By copying the G25 preset files, it is possible to make the game work with the G27.

In the .../GRID/ActionMap/ folder the G25 is actionMapPreset1.xml, make a copy of that file, rename to "G25_actionMapPreset1.xml" for a backup.

Open the actionMapPreset1.xml file in a plain-text editor like Notepad or Wordpad, change ALL instances of "G25" to "G27" (quotes here just for clarity - don't add extra quotes in file).

Save the file, save a copy as "G27_actionMapPreset1.xml" as a backup. It's important the the file with the G27 edits remains named actionMapPreset1.xml else it won't work.

Run GRID, the G27 will be detected and displayed in the Controls menu.
