Just ordered the game and the F430 for my nephew's birthday, it looks like a very decent wheel and pedal set for the money.

Just ordered the wheel too. Was trying to decide between this and the Logitech Driving Force GT. Difficult decision as both have good and bad points after reading various reviews. Was hoping it'd be on this week only from OcUK but unfortunately wasn't, surprised to see it was quite a bit cheaper from elsewhere. I'm sure he'll enjoy it!

I got it for £69.99 delivered, probably the same place as you. I'm the best uncle ever (so I'm told), he got an AMD 5890 last year.

I went for it because it looked better quality with better pedals (owning a G27 I know this makes a big difference), sure it's only ~300' so not ideal for drifting but for games like F1 it's spot on.

Anyone using a G27 with this?

Just wondering what settings to use, seems my controls have gone fubar

Did you have 2010? I believe you can use the same config file.

I uninstalled that a while ago

Though if that's the case, I shall Google for F1 2010 configs then I suppose

Can't believe it isn't supported in game though..

I'm using the stock settings but with Steering linearity (at least I think its that) at 10% to make it a little bit more sensitive

Those of you who have played co-op, is it like the single player career just with two of you? Full practice sessions, R&D and all that?

Locke · 21 Sep 2011 at 14:17

Cheers, I found some on the Steam forums too which are similar.

Tried the default ones and it takes a couple of turns of the wheel for the car to turn into a corner. Quite annoying for hairpins

I have the g27 all ready to go. Did not play with a wheel with last years game. Its gonna be a blast.

Witcher1979 · 21 Sep 2011 at 14:19

Nice game, not very demanding either. I know games will say specs but how they actually run is a different story.

[email protected], 4gb ram and a 2gb 6950 with everything set to ultra and everything maxed. 55 to 60 fps even in heavy rain, and my god when they say heavy rain, they really mean heavy rain lol. So you uber machine boys should be pushing mega FPS

Oh make sure you set your wheel to 200 degress in the Logitech program

Had to reinstall that and now it's detected in game

GFX are generally poor with very low res textures and decals on cars in places that are very obvious, can tell its not been PC optimized in the visual stakes. Looks like they have took the console textures and banged them straight in to the PC version which I guess is nothing new these days with multi-platform games, a bit more attention and detail with the PC version would have been nice.

Tempted to pick up a wheel and this.. but struggling to find a decently priced PC/PS3 wheel. I'd love to get a 430 one, but it's PC only.

Thinking about getting the Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel 3-in-1 or the Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Clutch Wheel.

Not sure if you run win 7 64bit, but have you checked it has a driver? I know for sure one of those Ferrari wheels will not work on win 7.

gord · 21 Sep 2011 at 14:57

Yeh, I'm on 64 bit Win 7, cheers for the heads up.
