Anyone have gt5.

How do you like it?  
how don’t you like it?

I have a whole little booth thingy to play with but it seems the pedals on my driving force pro logitech wheel dont work

anyone know if there is something you can do to make the pedals work?  
If not i guess mines broken and time to upgrade to a logitech g25.

The drift mode is disgusting with a wheel, I just want my pedals to work so i can 100% enjoy the game.

- im stuck on my last race, s-10 - any suggestion for car to use?

here is a picture of a buddy using my set up- kinda wack - but definitely fun.

wheel came free with stand and seat. couldnt really go wrong.

kris: nah they dont use cheats, Ive noticed that the game is 70% better with the wheel,  
the cornering , braking, and acceleration all changes in the positive way. once you get a hang of it , it makes you realize that usiong a controller & winning = pro.

When playing online certain people would always rinse me on certain corners, and with the wheel these corners are a joke compared to the ps3 controller.

i have played it a few times, drifting is fun if you dont use the wheel, the wheel i used was force feed back and it felt like i was gunna break it drifting.  
i was also driving a stock car.  
the racing is intense with the wheel tho lmao

i have yet to try that race driver: GRID game but the drifting in that looks gangster, and race modes.

I wouldn’t say that GRID is bullshit, if you play on keyboard drifting is pretty hard, you need a lot of practice… but other modes are awesome, the fact that you can hire a team mate, get sponsors and number of different cars make GRID the best race sim for now, if you have a wheel - it gets 2x better…

after 3 hours of playing i finally learned how drift… Although my favourite mode is still Le Mans 24, just love the track and racing in early morning…

Yeah, if you play on keyboard drift is pretty stupid, very hard to keep the car drifting because there is no gradual streering and throttling. But if you practice a lot, you’ll learn it in no time… I played it today for 3 hours and i finally started to feel the car now (with my fingers moving like crazy) By the way, other modes are awesome, my favourite for now is Le Mans 24 - love the track and racing on early morning…
