Does anyone play with a wheel on this yet?

I havent bought a 'one' yet and want to in the near future but cant handle racing games without a wheel since I have had the wheel for the 360. Only thing is it would appear the only decent one is £280 (thrustmaster tx) which makes my console purchase a MUCH bigger spend than before! hehe
Fanatec will be making an announcement very soon apparently smile
Fanatec are amazing but VERY expensive. I've had 2.

They made the announcement yesterday but no mention of prices. They did confirm that they are supporting next gen consoles but didn't say exactly when!

I'm not able to post the link right now but I'm sure some clever chap with a better phone will come along shortly smile

just a quicky. I don't spend lots of time on the Xbox but have got to the stage of completing all the races series bar the indycar.

I am doing the extra races but only have about 700,000 and still need another 600,000 to by a indycar.

Any tips on how's best to get the money quickly otherwise it's going to take me ages or try and spend more time on it to get the £££ together

Yup - I'd have very little money without this! But I remember to go on there once a month even if I haven't played recently - I have got about 12 million credits from there over time.

If only you could change the infernal soundtrack, this would be up there with number three. Hopefully horizon has some improved tunes as the first game was genuine fun.

You can't even escape the crappy Forza soundtrack by turning it off in settings cos when you race in lobbies there's always some tool with their Kinect activated so you get to hear it via their TV rolleyes

Thank god for the mute function!

Kowalski, I noticed a few people have downloaded my 200mph C class Roller. Have you had a chance to try it yet?

Picked up a couple of easy wins on Le Mans with it last night hehe

Erm good luck with that! I tuned it for Le Mans so I made it just about manageable for the corners and focused on the straights smile

I've done a P1 but it was one of my very early tunes. Its very driveable even without TCS.

I tune mostly D and C class but I occasionally venture higher. I've got a really good F50 in S class.

What class do you want the 458 for and are you after something that grips well or is stupidly fast?

I do but thought I had to unlock more buy doing more races.

I have just checked and seems I have 1.2mil worth of rewards but when I press redeem 3 rewards today it does nothing frown

Tune done and shared. I used Nurburgring GP to set it up and managed to hit 1300 on the leaderboard which is pretty good for me in S class!

Try it, you might not like it but I'd appreciate any feedback as I've got a lot to learn with stuff in the higher classes.

Thanks

Homer
