Xbox 360 Steering Wheel

LegacyUser

Hey guys,

Picked up the Microsoft 360 steering wheel that is meant to be wireless but i really fail to see how it is! HA! Anyway, it's awesome with forza 2 but i'm not as quick at all as I was with a controller.

Can somebody give me some tips to get better? The AI is on medium and all settings except ABS are off...

I really want to put the AI to easy because they keep banging me off the track and with the force feedback, it's a nightmare to recover...

As frustrating as it can be, the wheel really is the only way forward...it just felt pathetic with the controller...really did.

Just got mine now, with free PGR3, not bad, I can trade it in seeing as I have one already, and I got Colin McRae Rally, all for 160 euro. Jaysus I'm crap at the steering!

Truther

Actually I don't like this at all. It's too uncomfortable, the pedals are crap. And not only that but I just realised that my wheel is crucket. Gamestop will have to give me a replacement if I went down 2moro?

Clamp it on a desk. The pedals are most certainly not crap. This bit of kit has been getting raving reviews all over the net. You must just have a dodgy set because this piece of kit is sensational.

...Ironing board FTW! I'm not kidding - try it!

Pedals aren't too comfortable but I did enjoy using the steering wheel the other day. I can't floor the accelerator without moving my heel off the floor - not ideal.

Lol@ Ironing board. I use the keyboard part of my computer desk.

The accelerator is fine to me, the problem is with the break. Like with the accelerator it seems like my foot just rests nicely but with the break I can't rest my foot on the ground and press the break, my foot just gets really sore and tiring after a while. I think the solution is a good chair maybe.

Just got a replacement today. Hmmm I'll take that back what I said. This new one is brill!

Yeah all you need to do is to clamp it to a desk and then lots of practice. It is a really good bit of kit once it is secured firmly. I have no idea why anyone would want to use it on their knees

good tip, stick a balled pair of socks behind the brake pedal for more feel, also turn off the ABS and reduse the brake pressure to 75ish so it doesnt lock up all the time,., oh and use the bonnet or bumper views, they make it easier to pin it to the kerbs.,

Truther

Good advice. I'm good with the slowish cars, but terrible with the fast ones. I keep spinning everytime I turn.

i just fool around a lot with an M3 GTR and no traction control and drift it around tsakuba.,lol, its a good laugh and looks great on the replays.,
