gran turismo logo

[spidydude]

i got a driving force pro wheel for x-mas and on most of the pictures that i've seen it has the GT logo in the middle

instead i got that weirdo sun\bean thing that is logitech's offical logo

idk what happened to it O_o

mioght be an updated version of thre whweel or something with a sliughtly revamped desgin.

i think only the initial batch had the GT logo so it was an official tie-in with the game (GT4 being the first racing game to have specific code built in for the wheel) as they were launched at the same time. Now that GT4 has been on the market so long I guess they don't need the logo anymore

[spidydude]

no no no

gt4 wasn't the first game, it's compatible with gt3 (it says on the box that it is i personaly don't own it)

unless that's like a newer version that's compatible with it

it was compatible with gt3 yes, but it was built for gt4 promo.

[spidydude]

ahhhhhh

so basicaly, if you bought gt3 at release you couldn't have the wheel that was compatible with it??

[BrianTheYank]

there were other wheels compatible with it, but not the driving pro force wheel. that came like 2-3 years after its release and about a year before gt4 even came out.

[spidydude]

That makes sense

Thanks for the info

And also if you happen to know,

How's come the DFP can't do any of the AmateurProfessionalSimulation jazz that the downgraded version can?

huh?

[spidydude]

Ok, on GT4 under the steering options menu about 5 down or so is the stering mode selection menu. You can choose from Ameture, Professional, and Simulation.(sry bot that last post apparently backslahes don't show up)

I'd just like to know why my more expensive, upgraded wheel can't choose in between these settings, and the downgraded ,cheaper version can.

It's puzzling...

[BrianTheYank]

i dunno tbh.

Going off the subject a bit (ok its a lot) (sorry) but does anyone know if the G25 will be/is compatible with NFS Most Wanted?

[spidydude]

well i'm not sure...if it's compatible with the driving force pro i can imagine that the G25 would work

but why the hell would you wanna' play that arcade POC on a $300+ simulation wheel??

[R1 GTR]

Thats very true

So does this mean that the fact that the gear lever has one button for every gear doesn't matter?
I thought only newish games would work with this technology

well yeh

but there is a sequential shift mode
dk y you would ever want that though

idk, pick up a good racing sim (such as rFactor) and then that 6 speed box will be usefull


toher than that i would get the DFP

I would be using mine on PS2 so no rFactor (unless there is a PS2 version which im unaware of) and about the DFP, thats actually what ive got for the moment
