Im using a logitech PS2-style game pad for it and works very well, but I want to try the PS2 pad itself as i can hold the button halfway with GTA and accerlate slowly same with breaking. Not all or nothing like with the one i have.

I can't believe that someone just had the cheek to sell this in the MM for £20 when it's only £17.99 new! (Or that someone actually bought it for that either)

Ah, that was me, thanks for saving me a few quid like

Is anyone using a PS2 pad with this game? looking to pick up a copy tonight. Cheers.

using a saitek p990, my pad of choice

this allows for anologe inputs fof throttle and breaks, essential for feathering the power through bends in the big a class brutes

My latest car and it's a bit of a beast to drive

aceface57 · 20 Mar 2007 at 19:06

It's a great car to drive, i've had it on the race track and pushing it to it's limits is so fun.

Oh can someone tell me how to turn on hardcore realism or whatever it's called, i've unlocked it but dont know where to turn it on.

Corrected

It's essentially the same as the Tuscan thingy isn't it?

Great fun but a bit hairy

A few meets:

Sweetloaf · 20 Mar 2007 at 19:42

How do you guys find each other?

There are only every about 8-10 people on my island and I rarely see them.

IGN:Sweetloaf1973 if that helps.

Naffa · 20 Mar 2007 at 20:05

Is there like a server selection thing on this game? Me and benjo went to meet up but couldn't see eachother when we were at the same place. ¬_¬

KadreMoD · 20 Mar 2007 at 20:09

Anyone know how to see your friends list? Can't seem to find anything about in the manual

willhub · 20 Mar 2007 at 20:11

Just got it installed and set up an online profile.

My name is Willef_T

Im pretty sure that only brings up the people who are in your free-ride session with you.

Will check again though, just incase.

Tommy B · 20 Mar 2007 at 20:31

Been playing for a few hours now and I give up!

How the hell do you actually progress in this game? I'm doing single player at the moment and having completed every challenge, nothing else on the map has become unlocked. I can't sell my Audi TT either as it just goes red when I try to in the trade option in your house.

willhub · 20 Mar 2007 at 20:31

Yea I just realized that it only does that

I got a problem now, I dont see anyone on the map... I see orangish balls which are multiplayer races right? but all games are like 0 and I dont see anyone..

On profile options, next to my acocunt, the Gamespy ID box is not ticked :S I am sure I ticked it :S

Oh, I got some players, cant see them on map though, and after I exited the map, there was no players around :s

Have you bought any houses or any new cars?

Vita · 20 Mar 2007 at 21:37

Finally got the game to run online, and my I love it! Started with a Audi A3 3.2 DSG, now have a Nissan 350Z Nismo R-Tune or w/e. Im dissapointed that this game is far from complete, there are many bugs.

1 which I hate is, You're driving then suddenly you're in water, this is probably because online, it takes a while for the map to load. Sucks.

Other than that it owns

Not come across any of those!

Classics meet (almost! - Black E-Type is mine)

Had a good race/cruise with 7 other cars earlier, was a good laugh.

Especially as most of us kept ploughing into walls/buildings/scenery/other cars or just driving off into the countryside whilst trying to type

StuntMonkeh · 20 Mar 2007 at 22:38

I'm wanting to get this but every game I have bought recently has been poo and I refuse to buy another game without playing a demo. So there lies the problem at the moment....no demo out :mad:

Heh I've been the same lately, the game isn't perfect by any means but it just damn good fun. Not sure how long it will last but it's fun for now!

Incidentally, I'm also a Honda driving Nvidia user.

I also recommend anyone with wheel to have the radio volume assigned to buttons on the wheel, nothing better than pumping up the volume as things get hectic

Oh and it should deter stereo thieves :cool:
