anuraj · 22 Jun 2011 at 19:35

So this wheel is amazing apart from it not working with Dirt 2.
Does anyone have any tips that may help.

Amnesia · 22 Jun 2011 at 19:52

it works quite well with a 360 pad

anuraj · 22 Jun 2011 at 19:54

Yeah I know it works well with a pad. So any first timer tips. this is literally my first wheel.

Have you installed the Logitech software? You may need the profiler to get it working.

Yep you need to install the logitech profiler for games to work for it.

Pretty sure I got it from here : http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/latest_soft_main.htm

Works with every game I own. I have the Driving Force Pro.

Dunno, I'm getting my wheel on Friday if everything goes well, will let you know then.

Perhaps try a demo if there's one?

Cool so now for any first timer tips.

Murray · 22 Jun 2011 at 20:41

Practice is all you can do.

anuraj · 22 Jun 2011 at 20:48

Any settings because I'm not sure if I got it right.

Firm grip on the wheel in a 10 and 2 position. When turning left gently feed the wheel round to the left, but do not left your arms cross or you will fail. To go right, do the opposite. it is called a push-pull method.

Here is a video -

Yep shift will totally run on an ati radeon hd3450 smoothly with a intel core 2 duo e6400

But keeping in mind I will get a new rig in 22 days.
