What do people use?

Im tempted to invest in a wheel as combatting the understeer with the pad is pretty tricky!

 

[mike_turbo]

brake earlier then

i use the joypad always have, would like to try a wheel tho

 

[daveR]

The transition from PGR2 to this isnt as easy as id thought! This is alot more realistic.

Ive set top 200 times on xbox live but cant get near you lot on this! yet!

 

[mike_turbo]

well you had the added advantage of at least driving the ring in pgr before! you suck :lol:

 

[daveR]

its totally different though!

plus the cornering speeds in GT are alot more realistic. License tests for me this wknd!

 

[AndrewP]

Just been on ebay theres a few wheels on there. The Logitech one looks good, I think its £50 new

I'm thinking of buying a PS2 just to play GT4

 

[Skip]

I use both analog sticks, took me a while how to work out getting the right stick as throttle/brake...!

 

[AndyF_RSX]

Wheel all the way.
It's so much easier to use and the throttle/brake with the pedals is a lot better because you can get part throttle a lot easier.

Pads for me. I don't really have the space for a wheel (at least not for a wheel for the console anyway), and unlike Andy I can feather the throttle just fine on the pad

Since I'm generally belting around at maximum speed I rarely have to use less than full steering lock as well, so I'm not sure the investment in a wheel would really be worth it.

PS DaveR, lift-off oversteer is generally a feature of cars that understeer under acceleration

 

[daveR]

Am I going wrong in trying to drive it and preserve my tyres? ie, no squeal as im cornering. Or should I just wang it round going from lock to lock!? lol

What wheel is the weapon of choice?

After using an xbox pad for so long with the triggers for brake and throttle its hard switching back to two buttons. You cant trail brake easily, its not too easy to modulate the throttle either. (Maybe the pad is ****ed?!)

 

[WULLIE]

buttons for me. i cant get the car moving properly using the sticks.

 

[InsBro]

Buttons for me for car games

Sticks for planes

I sold my wheel as it was a bit too vague

[Dark Evo]

neither for me, but I can ask my 8 y/o boy if you like?

 

[CTRnutter]

feast your eyes on this

GT 4 Wheel

 

[jkhilton]

I use both the sticks, I find it so much easier than using a button for accelerate.

Buttons? The default GT4 pad configuration has the left analog stick for steering and the right stick for acceleration (up) and braking (down). Much more finesse than buttons or triggers

Oh, and I spend most corners finessing the throttle because the tyres are always giving way. I'd say wang it round lock to lock and steer with the throttle. Works for me

That's got more turns lock to lock than my RSX had :crackup:

Only prob with the right analogue stick is that you cant brake while still on the power!

Ill give it a try tonight.

 

[mike_turbo]

god i cant stand the analogue sticks, buttons always for me til i try a wheel :blah:

 

[JOHN'S RED VII]

Buttons here too, I am much faster with a pad, the wheels are crap IMO.
