Assasin-uk · 8 Nov 2009 at 16:00

Having just bought the console and played forza a couple of questions..

Does forza 3 support clutch usage?

also is there a 3 pedal setup for the 360?

And if not whats the best 2 pedal job for the 360 atm..

the MS one?

Thanks

forza 3 does have a manual with clutch option, but i dunno what wheel/pedal setup the forza 3 supports.

They dont, so far as am aware, it is on the Fanatec Turbo S wheel that does it, and it's pricey, especially now, they dont do any discounts on them and deliveries are descember (well thats when they said I should expect mine).

now that is expensive...

and it appears no other options...

might end up being the MS one then..

There are only really 2 wheel options for the Xbox360:

MS Wireless Wheel
It's ok, pedals are (imo) the biggest weakpoint, but then that's coming from the G25 pedals which are massively better (I believe there's a mod to use the G25 pedals on the xbox wheel, gonna be trying that shortly)

Fanatec Turbo S
Very expensive, not tried the wheel but pedal options include the fanatec pedals (can't be worse than the MS ones), G25 pedals which are good, and the clubsport pedals which are apparantly even better again, so I can imagine it being a vast improvement over the MS wheel, but at >3x the price I'd expect that

Microsoft racing wheel looks like something you would see in the early learning centre, such a shame they dont support logitechs wheels :/

the wheel is actually nice to use, but as mentioned above, the pedals let it down, they are spring loaded as opposed to gas like the G25 / G27.

I'm not sure about the G27 supporting the Xbox, i know the 25 doesn't but i thought the G27 might have being quite a large market.

could you use g25 pedals with the microsoft wheel?

What happens if you plug the G25 in the xbox 360 tho ?

The Logitech DriveFX supports the 360, but its not amazing as the force feedback is a bodge job.

Apparantly if you get a DB9 socket and wire that on one end of the RJ11 cable you get with the ms pedals then you can use the throttle/brake pedals fine, which I intend to do,

Broke my wrist a week ago on saturday so not been back to work yet but there should be a DB9 socket waiting for me there, then just some soldering and hopefully I'll be using decent pedals on the 360
