First wheel ever after 40+yrs gaming, Help needed

[MCFC_ANDY]

so ive been gaming since arcade days, even bbc micro days(donkey kong ), had every console under the sun and pc gaming for 25+yrs. always loved my driving games, so thought what the hell lets buy a cheap wheel and give it a go, so got T300 rs gt, but im struggling on gt7, need some tips/help especially when wheel loads up when turning past 75%, just understeers like crazy, also its far easier to lose it with wheel on grass, once rear end goes, its spin out time something easy to control with a pad. like seconds a lap off best times with pad.

or is it just a case of relearning a game with many hrs off practice

Worth googling for settings for the wheel you're using and the game you're playing. They can make a massive difference. But otherwise it's just getting used to it. I would say a wheel isn't necessarily going to make you faster - but it is going to make the game loads more fun and immersive - once you've got used to it.

yeah was bought to get more involved in game, need a different approach to driving with wheel compared to pad, atm everytime i put wheel off track it spins out even if no acceleration at all, very strange, shouldn't spin out when straight n no power applied, but its every time, so frustrating

I've added another account on gt6 so I start again from scratch. Think it could be better way as I'm still trying to race controller style and pad is so much easier to control oversteer or n off, wheel is very unforgiving. I miss Forza but just too many idiots on there ruined the game as well as it being released totally unfinished. Shame really
