I also use a force feed back seat (yep, I'm a nerd) with 2 aura interactor drivers mounted. One behind the small of the backk and one under the seat. Really enhances the experience. I also intend to get the TrackIR to allow mw to use my head to pan the view.

That sounds like a sweet setup indeed. Man that TrackIR would be handy for this game so you could look out each window to see where cars are when you a passing them. Nerds have the coolest toys :)

quick question before i buy the game... i know the logitech driving force pro is good for the pc as i use it for NFS:HP2 & Porsche challenge...well when i can spare a minute away from GT4, but does GTR have 900 degree support? cause thats when the DFP is in its prime.....

Archie you can set the resolution quite well so it should be fine.

Logitech MOMO racing is my choice though. 270 wheel much like an actual race car. PC only as there are no console stuff in my house.

I'm not sure about the 900deg support but what I do know is I rarely use any more than about 20deg in either direction, maybe 45deg max on hairpin turns. Too much lock in this game = you facing the other direction or understeering straight off the track.

This game also comes with Motec Interpreter software and its the real deal from Motec.(however Motec say they don't support GTR but it works really well) If you have experience with this software, then you will love it for GTR and the amount of data it logs in aiding you to set your car up. About the only thing you can't look at is the ECU mixture map LOL because this is not changeable in the game.

haha yeah he goes on to say "...great if you're a gaming revhead, but the sheer pace - and subsequent difficulty tto drive - can put off non-racing enthusiasts. Worth a try, but go easy on the accelerator". heh this last comment is something I learnt the hard way :P

Out of interest, have any of you lot played Grand Prix Legends? (older game 60s F1 cars). If so, which is the harder of the two? I found GPL to be a little too much of a challenge considering I dont have any real racing background, they did say GPL would be the hardest game ever made because they didnt have a good FF system in those days. But I found Sports Car GT a tad easy at times.

Comments would be appreciated, as NFS is losing its appeal. Porshce and hot pursuit 2 that is, neither of the ricey ones.

Dave I was a big GPLer and played online heaps. I even used the FF mod and all the updated graphics. It was, and still is one of the best.

With the FF it is no longer as hard, but still the toughest.

Porsche was interesting but they are just too contrived compared to GPL and GTR.
