Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Wheel & Race Sim Chassis talk

Just got the Gt5 Prologue Demo (The one thats gone now) and I think it looks great, I only have a CRT so its 480i but it still looks amazing teh detail just had a run with a controler tommorow I will try with the wheel and get into it,Cant wait for the US release of GT5: P so i can import it .
ANyways just a Question:
The Comming soon car in the demo covered by the blue thing Do I still have a way to get it or am I too late?

 

Hello Oner,

I just had a few questions for you about your SWEET setup

1) What materials are the tubes made from?
2) What materials are the pedal assembly mount made from?

I ask these because I want to do a few mods to my obutto when I get it and Iam just wondering if the material is drillable. Thanks!

 

Awesome thanks Oner. Can I ask what kind of Drill and bit you used? I have a hammer drill and some titanium bits. That should do the job no? Also, how did you mount your pedals? Did you mount the whole unit or pedal by pedal. I wanna remove each pedal unit from the base and mount them separately that way I can I can optimize it for heel toe and left foot braking.

 

I have got the same setup but couldnt afford the high priced wheel mount (about £300 in the UK) so I decided to make my own...

In stead of costing £450 for wheel, seat and mount it cost £185, £150 for the wheel, £20 for the seat and £15 for the wood and fixings to hold it all together!
If anyone is strapped for cash and wants the plans let me know!

 

Thanks Oner, One last thing. Is the seat one some special rails? I would like to maybe add my own seat to it...

 

Yea I can understand. However the seat I have is this one:

Lol so its pretty pro so I was hoping to use it.
I dunno yet, so many descions and not to mention MONEY!

 

Hi, I'm new here and looking to get a PS3. All I can find on the net is saying force feedback will not work on PS3.

With that awesome setup I'm sure you know the truth.

Can you fill me in?

Thanks

Ian

 

Force Feedback does work on the Ps3 Ive updated my Formula One CCE game and it runs with full FFB, I also know there is FFB in GT:HD and GT5P Demo because I have played them all with my Logitech DFP.

And one Question when is the exact GT5P release date for the US so I can know when to order it, I cant wait I feel like buying the Japanese release but I will wait out to get a game I will Fully Understand.

 

Thanks for the response. Now if only someone can figure out how to play backups!

 

hey im thinking about buying the Logitech MOMO wheel as i heard from a guy at work that it is the second best wheel from the G25 and it's 76.99 with free shipping from amazon.... my only question really is does anyone have a PS3/PS2 Compatability list so i can see if it's really worth buying.... i dont want too buy it and find out i can only use it for 2 games.... although just having it being compatible with Grand Turismo and GTR 2 would probably be enough to buy it... but yeah.... if anyone could please find me that compatability list it would be greatly appreciated... Thx in advance!

Edit: OK... well i just started to look at the Logitech Driving Force Pro as it is compatable with alot of PS2/PS3 games.... is this wheel as good as the MOMO or is it worse?

 

Thx for the Info Oner... ive been googling and what not for the past 2 hours and i was starting to lean towards the DFP.... my only dilema now is should i get the DFP which is a tad under 100$ shipped From Amazon or wait a couple months and get the G25 which is 237.99 shipped from dell... oh and by the way Oner I love your setup... LOL im sooo jealous

 

Ive been told when i was buying my DFP 6 months ago that if you arent planning to use the H Shiter there is not much differnce between buying the G25 or the DFP then.

 

good to know Dazila.... im about to order the DFP off Amazon as i type this.

 

The differnce between playing GT with a controler and a steering wheel is pretty big when you play it with the wheel you will never go back especially these good wheels, because back in 2001 i had gt2 on psone and my parents bought me a wheel (I was 9 then) and it was so much harder then using a controler so I though that all wheels were like this but when I tried the DFP when I bought it in July 07 I was amazed and knew that the wheel before just wasnt accurate enough like the old one a little turn seemed big and cars were hard to control so I didnt like it and races were hard to win thats why I snapped the gearstick of it about 1 month after getting it races that were easy before became not winable like a simple ford Ka Challange I had to push and dont know If I won it but I snapped the shifter off when I lost my nerve.
But the DFP is a whoel differnet thing the cars turn so smooth and its actually easier then a controler some people say its not but I was better with it in the 2nd hour then I was ever with a controler.
But its under the bed now because I really dont have a game to play it with now, GT4 the best Ps2 game I think but after playing it since May 05 I cant get into it again, I got into it when I got this wheel but after playing it for about 5 months more and getting to 40% (2nd save) first save corrupted at 78% im waiting for Gt5 Pro
