PGR4 and Steering Wheel

Does anyone else find it really hard to complete some of the tasks in the game using the steering wheel because pushing the hard brake button is very very difficult if you use the steering wheel.

I had a quick game with the steering wheel and then just went back to the controller. I don't think its really suited to the wheel, its not bad compared to some of the others. But I personally think the wheel is only good for Forza.

PGR3 was like that, the wheel is awesome for 'racing' (well for me anyway) but almost impossible for getting uber kudos scores on cone challenges..

Wonder if it can be reconfigured?

Na mate i think your completely wrong the wheeeel works great with pgr4 i wouldnt use the controller now after trying it with the wheel its so much more real even the motorbikes handle well with it and you can still pull wheelies and do tricks.

Your right, I must completely rethink my own opinion. No one knows me better than you

so how do I do kudos challenges with the steering wheel? Because without the handbrake there near on impossible

You don't always need to use the handbrake to get a spin/slide, cars like the Sagaris in PGR3 would slide under power if you just had some decent lock on, I remember purposely fishtailing it along straights with just constant on/off throttle/steering to keep the kudos going up..

I'm picking my PGR4 up lunch time and will see if it's any better then PGR3 on the wheel for myself..

after Forza 2, I am a big fan of the wheel, the 'finesse' of control seems to work better then being able to go lock to lock quickly for me.. it took some practise, but I think I've got it relatively nailed..

Picked up PGR4 this morning, only got my xbox back from 3red light repair yesterday, im going to complete as much of the single player as i can before switching to the pad... So far im playing on Normal and finding it a little too easy...

Handling with the wheel seems great though, nice and responsive, fast enough input to be able to control slides and flick thru the tight corners.
