Does anyone have any recommendations for the wheel settings on xbox 360 (ive got the official xbox 360 steering wheel)? thanks
just finally got the game on PS3, having read a little on here i decided to do one race on hard level just to try it out before moving on to start a career on the Expert level with all assists off, 30% races.
I'm only using the PS3 controller rather than the wheel, but so far i've managed to out qualify and outrace teamate Trulli at Bahrain, ending up 18th or so, had a disaster in Melbourne with a small spin and then a puncture trying to recover and ended up a lap down having had to have 2 stops before qualifying in the top 10 Malaysia after none of the other cars went out and posted a time in a part wet Q2 and went on to record 4th in the full wet race, partially helped by not pitting for inters 3 laps from the end and managing to hold off a couple of quicker cars on the last lap. (albeit i did restart the race a number of times just to get through the first couple of laps, firstly as i'd not driven in the wet and secondly as everytime i even slightly touched anyone i got a drive through, even when they drove into me.
So far very impressed with the game, is tough but playable with the pad, although i do want to get a new wheel to try it out. I've also not got any internet access at the moment to try online, but i'd imagine i would get my ass reamed by the majority of people who are playing with a wheel.
not experimented at all with set up yet, it seems that the base is good enough to start with, until i learn the car and all the tracks it will be pointless changing anything on the car as i won't know if its the car or me that has made any improvement.
a couple of things that bug me, which i assume are fixed by a download (which i can't get at the moment, even if there is one on the PS3 version?) is the inability to have a gap to the car in front, only the relative difference in lap time, and the inability to change fuel loads in practice, i'd like to stick 10 laps in and learn a track rather than pitting every 5 minutes. oh, and my race engineer is a cock, butting in with advice at inopportune times to tell me a Ferrari has pitted even though i'm nowhere near it.
So far so good though, i've got to say a big thumbs up, it looks great, drives better, its difficult enough without being impossible. All the better to jump straight in with no driver aids and full realism too, although i was getting sick of spinning in nearly every hairpin when i was putting it in first, soon learned to stay in 2nd for the majority of hairpins instead though which seemed to cure it.
Most online racers are pretty bad in my experience. Lots of kids and crashers. Should be raceable with a pad, and destroyable with a wheel!Quote:

Hmm not sure I like that. Is side to side contact still possible? I find ghost racing very unsatisfying. Plus I like to be able to block/defend!
Thats where its smart, so if your on a corner you dont break, but instead you were planning to bank on some guy who slowed down, you become transparent, I think it only happens when there is a certain minimum delta between your speed and the person you were going to bump into, if its small you race just fine.Quote:

I really hate idiots online who can't race without bumping into you.
Yeah I did a race months ago where we were at Hockenheim and the same 6 idiots tried to crash into everyone on the first lap. When I got on pole I just let everyone past before turn 1 and then went racing.
