Hey all,

Ok gone and ordered a wheel. What I would like to know is if anyone has any pointers regarding the transition to a wheel? I feel getting it now whilst I have done most things in FM3 and doing more of the career will help, then i will be ready for FM4 (Fingers crossed). Any advice will be welcome.

cheers

Dan

practice practice practice, be prepared to be a lot slower the first time you use it but stick with it and you will become used to it. Take things slow the first few times slow is smooth, smooth is fast. If you jump into fast cars straight away you will crash lots use cars like Golf GTI or similar to start with and build up. Which wheel did you go for?

Same as you my friend, Fanatec GT2 with Clubsport pedals biggrin. Also just brought Race Pro to use exclusivly on the wheel. May try Shift 1 as only had a go for 10 minutes.

A tip for Race Pro, you have to sign in to your xbox account with the wheel and assigned to Controller 2 or you won't get proper force feedback.
