I had my 30th Birthday party this weekend (yes I am now old) my marvellous chums purchased me a ps2 a game driving wheel and a bunch of driving games of which Grand Turismo 4 (GT4) is one of them!

Yippee :smokin: I cried you guys and gals are the best. Having tried GT4 at leMans and being rubbish I thought hoorah now I have a gaming wheel and so all will be easier. NOOOOOO it is harder, I am sure I will never get good at this game! Any tips appreciated. :rolleyes:

You just have to drive it like you would a normal car. Brake properly, etc, and all will be good. Sometimes it feels like you are just going too damn slow round corners, but it works...

Think i need to try and calibrate the steering wheel I have there is virtually no steering in the first few parts of the steering turn. I end up careering from one side of the track to the other or just drifting a bit (lol excuses already for me)

If you first getting into the game use the controllers to learn the basics of driving and to help you understand the phsyics.

On a side note, GT4 is hardly hard at all.

Friend bought a logitech wheel this evening especially for GT4. At first it was a bit harder, but after an hour or so its so much easier.

Logitech Driving force pro. It rules, I couldn't imagine playing GT4 without it.

GT4 was hard... for the first day or so... but playing a couple hours a day for months now will help one improve dramatically...

I think doing well in the game has less to do with your general driving skills and more with familiarity with a particular car. Like I said I play A LOT... but I still look like s--- driving a front drive car cuz Im just not used to it (I try to avoid fwd as much as possible)...

A steering wheel is OK IMO but read on.........

A guy that used to work with me (he was 40) would sit in his living room, on the Playstation, with a toy steering wheel AND his crash helmet on.

Not GT4 but... a friend of mine was telling me about two of his friends who made their own pace notes for Colin McRae Rally, had two of those racing seats and a wheel.

One would and the other would the notes

The hardest driving game EVER is Richard Burns rally for the Xbox.
It's just too realistic, got very frustrating in a very short time.

It would be easier to drive the real bloody thing!
