After a bit of messing about does this game work well with a G27? is the game more suited to a controller pad of wheel? (Apart from drifting seems to be hard with wheel!)

drift seems impossible with a wheel any one know how to do it ?

seems to work well acording to nogripracing , racedepartment.com etc , go read their forums theres some suggested settings for asll the wheel types that improve the games repsonsiveness and handling.

someone made a small mod to alter the tyre behaviour ever so slightly so the cars dont feel floaty at all aswell (aparently with a paid the game is bad unledss you edit one of the gameas files and turn of dampening)

It's just as impossible with a controller

argh upgrading drivers from 10.12 to the latest ones has killed performance completely, same settings as before and i get half the fps

i'm using a ps3 pad and it's not that bad tbh, only problem you have is once you have done a lap or 2 your tires are on fire and have zero grip so you constantly spin out

as i said earlier you can skip drifting you arent forced to do it

Thanks for the link looks like those mods are going to be very useful if i buy this game on Steam when I get in from work.

better build another one.. im sure you cant tune the "drift alliance s13"

so buy another s13 or some other low power car and get stage 2(at least) tires these last me 3 laps +

also one feature that is lacking for me is TEST DRIVING.. good that you can sell the car for the same price you buy..

BTW.. how the hell does slow motion work in replays? i know its there..

grudas · 2 Apr 2011 at 13:31

will look into getting another after i try and fix performance from updating drivers

slow motion is controlled with the accelerator and brake

Judging by the posts here this is one to avoid I think.

both pedals do nothing no difference if the replay is stopped or playing.. :confused:
