the logitech force feedback is supposed to be top dog... it's one of the few that has the full 280(?) degree turn.. .which I think only GT4 supports so far... it ain't cheap, but it's smooth(same one at the local FRY's) |

Force-feedback steering wheels?
Amatuers. http://www.force-dynamics.com/ :)_ oh and the Logitech GT = $150.00 900degrees of wheel turn. designed for GT4, it was originally proposed by Polyphony (Grand Turismo Developers) but wasn't ready/feasable for the release of GT3. Instead Polyphony and Logitech worked to develop the wheel for the release of GT4. Well worth the price. Drove it at Fry's and the feedback was incredible. I bought my ps2 SO I could play GT4. I also "stole" my friend's ps1 so I could play GT2. the LAN function is quite fun. Sang |

I got the Logitech Forced feedback last night.
It makes GT4 a completely different game!! I have to make a table for it though, as it is pretty heavy, with good steering resistance. Tried it on a Heavy, wood, Folding TV Tray and could turn the table before the wheel would turn do to the resistance. A 351 flywheel strapped to the table helped it last night. After the event at Scott's today I am going to look at building a table that is wider, so it will be a little more stable. |

RUF has been an actual manufacturer for some time. They have their own TUV certifications and their cars carry RUF VIN numbers, not Porsche ones. The cars obviously start off as skeletal Porsches but I guess RUF does a ton of the final assembly as well as extensive modifications. You can also 'convert' Porsche manufactured cars to RUF mod'ed versions so the whole thing is pretty fuzzy. I just don't understand why Porsche is so anal about licensing to game producers.
I just picked up GT4 at Costco today (as if I really have time to play it). I can't drive any PS2 games worth beans using the effin' stock controller...so will be picking up a steering wheel setup before too long. Unfortunately my handheld wheel controller as well as my full size setup from the PS1 aren't compatible/upgradeable to PS2 specs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

With the joyschtick- I change the default control to suit my style I've been used to.
i set the throttle to R2 and the brake to L2. Upshift to the "square" and downshift to the "x". It's easier on the tendons. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) KT |

trekkor, you're right, reassigning the controls does help quite a bit -- wife's out of town so I stayed up till after 1 (er 2) drivin' (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) This game rocks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
I still steer like a drunk driver with the damn joystick, though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

I like those changes because you can tap brakes while you're still on full throttle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Here's a low cost alternative to the new Logitech $150 steering wheel mentioned.
Target has a wheel with shifter and pedals for $49.99. I bought one today. Fully programmable. Easy to use. I'll buy another for player 2. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) MORE INFO I'm going back to Laguna... KT Attached image(s)

Porsche's are not in any of the Grand Tourismo series of games. The reason I was told was that Electronic Arts bought the exclusive rights to use the cars in their games. The makers of Grand Tourismo scored a little bit of a coup by getting the RUF cars in their games though.
Definately the best driving game that I have tried so far. |

i'm addicted to the arcade game initial-D ver. 2. driving games are way more fun in the arcade with forced feed back and stick shift and all that good stuff. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
