So who's got it, whats there opinions on it, has anyone got one of these allusive Logitch driving force wheels, are they any good??
Scott
ive not got the wheel but i did get a Lotus carlton in the game !!!!!!
Only had a couple of quick games on Arcade mode so far and it seems pretty good. You certainly have to be precise!
I am definately fancying the wheel though

i want both game and wheel someone give heather a hint lol
Very good game imo. I play on it quite a bit.
I want the wheel too but everywhere seems to be out of stock.
The cars on it are pretty realistic in terms of performance etc.
Worth buying. Beware though that you'll probably have to download a gig or 2 update for it the first time you start the game. 3-4 updates have already been released for it through PSN.
lotus carlton??? not seen that yet
what level is everyone? im 10 atm kinda getting bored lol
For me personally the game is ok, does exactly what it says on the tin.
As regards a wheel, i have only ever used forcefeedback wheels since they first got released, the one for the game is very good imo. I had an older model one which i donated to the brother-in-law as he struggled in some parts with the controller, and he hasnt looked back since.
I'm on level 20 but havent spent that much time on it tbh
if you are going to buy this game i would recommend getting it from amazon as the give you 2 codes upon purchace which you redeem in the playstaion store and get 2 free cars in limited edition colours called the stealth mode, i got a Mclaren F1 ( the rroad car from years ago ) and a mazda le mans race car with over 800 bhp, ideal for the sunday cup races lol
Lotus carltons pop up in the used car dealership every so often, not a car that interests me lol
Im level 15-16 i think.
i bought it cos i had the cash lol, also got a few old group b cars too.

Ooooooooohhhh you just reminded me.....
Thank you for pre-ordering Gran Turismo 5 from Amazon.co.uk. please find your McLaren F1 code(s)--along with redemption instructions below.
Must give this to Sturge :d
yup i did the amazon thing to get it on the release date and for the stealth cars.
scott if buying one isnt an issue i would suggest you do it, once used to it the involvement in the game becomes alot more intense and rewarding lol lol

iv got it, on level 14-16ish.
so all you guys that have codes are they the same? i didnt know about these codes fancy sharing and seing if they work for us guys who didnt know!?! :tard: :wall: :eek:
i gave my code to a mate but they didnt work for him
mclaren code was 8C6C-REBQ-E9G7
Hoochie
08-01-11, 05:47 PM
Can't post up this code till Sturge uses it first....:)
lol lol lol lol that would be the ultimate fail, and the start of a bloody good arguement
theres also been downloads for more cars online, my mate has done it, i need to get mine online

Are their Nova's in the game?
Just tried both your codes. No worky
Are their Nova's in the game?
Everyone said yes before the game came out.
Im thinking no now though, unless they are uber rare in the used car dealership.
Ive seen most new Vauxhalls, and a few old ones (tigras, carltons etc)
No cavs/astras/novas though.
Are their Nova's in the game?
not seen any yet, tigra,corsa c, calibra, lotus carlton, astra g/h, vectra c ive seen
adam, must be a one time thing then :(
there will be novas lol loads of other cars to be realesed
Got it just after release - I'm impressed with the way it looks - just GT4 with more polish and a bit more HD; some of the non premium cars look a bit shte scaled up but meh.
Like the online bit and all the car swapping you can do with mates - just waiting to see if they do car downloads for future motors.
The physics are a lot better than GT4 and I like the way cars all have their own handling traits.
Don't like the crash damage, it looks a bit gash and isn't a patch on Forza. I also don't like the costs to repair an expensive car if you just ding it a little bit!! The stealth cars are great because if you bin them, they only cost 500Cr to repair!
No more NO2 upgrade which is a bit of a pita, but the biggest thing I've noticed in amongst all of the car upgrades...where the f*ck is the option to uprate the brakes?
yeah i noticed no brake upgrades lol
On level 21 here.... things are getting a little harder now!

also everyone that said the nova is in the game before it was released are right but wrong toolol its not in the game now but will be added in time with the updates along with 1000s of other cars
http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-official-car-list/ Here is the official car list. No Nova i'm afraid :(
Ohh and by the way the endurance races such as the 24 hour nurburgring race are actually 24 hours long!

Level 20 here, 15 Bspec. Not a fan of bspec though, does my nut in. 3 drivers, all around level 13. Can't get on it enough. Gameplay makes up for the cack standard car graphics, but the photo mode on the premiums is awesome! Some nice cars in it too.

That car is cool as fook.
Handles so well.
Went on it last night, first time for a while and noticed they've already made some recent additions. Seasonal races and online car dealership iirc.

ooh never saw this thread lol..
Im currently doing endurance on A-spec (level 27) and 4 drivers on B-spec (levels 17,15,1 and 0 lol)
I dont have a wheel, yet.. but played it on a GT25 (logitech)
In a nut-shell on a wheel its easy to be quicker time-wise; so hot-lapping and so on.. (can drive smoother, with aids turned off) But the advantage isnt so great when on-line so much; there are some advantages with joypad over wheel and visa versa.
Spent 3.9m on an f1 car the other night.
But the common road cars are where the most fun is at i reckon.
yes i noticed your on it a fair bit peester lol
to be honest im really not that impressed with it at all, kinda pissed off i went out and bought a ps3 especially for it. think im only at level 13 a spec and level 7 b spec
dhdev (Oli)
09-01-11, 04:09 PM
Level 26 A-spec and 8? B-spec. I have 5.5mil sat waiting for a FGT to come up used in the right colour lol
Brake upgrades are only worth doing if they modelled fade, or are you complaining that you having to press the button too hard lol
I wouldnt of bought a ps3 just for it.
Whats everyones id? Get a png race on the go lol

Scottive found it much easier since setting the controls the same as an xbox lmao. i.e
R2 = accelerate
L2 = brake
Circle = change up
Square = change down
X = hand brake lol
the rest i've left basically the same i think

i have the gt5 wheel, bought it just before xmas after about a month of pad use, was weird to begin with but made it much more enjoyable and precise, just watch out for calf muscle fatige! lol
i'm a-spec 30 or 31 and b-spec 39. (didn't work from 25th nov - 5th jan due to snow so well and truely kicked the @rse of it!) done every race except the last b-spec 24hr and all the a-spec endurance, not keen on 4-24hr races! theres talk making then save-able part of the way through the race so i'll hold out for now!
recommend b-spec though! frustrating to begin with but once your driver is good enough he can make you serious coin! 1m cr for the dream car championship! and you can kick back and watch tv. plus you also win better cars in b-spec, mazda fuira (sp) zonda r and minolta lm car iirc!
online is good, better if you or a mate hosts so you can sort the rules and kick the c*nts!
ps. ID is Big_Chap
I cant wait to buy this :d
I have GT5, just started playing it (Need to finish Assassins Creed 2 first). I have also played the game with a Logitech G25 which is an awesome wheel...but pricey!
Although not as pricey as the GT5 Thrustmaster wheel.

Got a G25 wheel and Gran Turismo and tbh it's plain awesome. You really have to drive the wheel hard to get the most out of it but my god it's good when you do.
That lack of damage and dodgy sound are just two of many things that means this doesn't even compare to Forza 3.
I have played GT5 many times too. Although I don't own it or a PS3 - and never will tbh! Sony fans love it becuase let's be honest, what else is on offer?
You get the truth from those that own both machines.
I have both machines and have also played Forza 3 ALOT! Not played GT5 enough to compare the two properly yet. To be honest it's all much of a muchness these days.
Although driving the TopGear test track in a 111R with no traction control and crappy tyres is a hoot!
Not played it much yet, only on level 10 a spec...

Depends if you offer someone on ebay £80 for one and for some reason he accepts?! lol Never driven away from somewhere so fast...

Right so Ive got the Logitech DF GT wheel set up in my "games" room, OK it's a rough slung together job for now, I'm going to pinch one of my bucket seats from the nova and make something better! lol
BUT all said and done, once you get the setting set to how you like it, its ace! works very well on GT5 and is OK on NFSS, works'ish on Grid, not so good with Ridge Race 7, but thats due to the game etc...
So here's a pic, and now I'm off to use it more...

I bought the F10 '10 the other night, which is awesome, however it can only be raced in one make practice races :( Still when the F1 season kicks off again I can try and out-qualify them all lol
Hello all,
I have the elusive driving force gt wheel and let me tell you its worth every penny and the countless hours you will spend looking for one, to my knowledge there is one in an argos in leeds apart from that they are all sold out everywhere, unless you go direct to logitech but then it will cost £120!
You will then need to sort out some sort of table/stand to attach it too as the force feedback is too severe to just rest it on your knees. It has paddle shifters on the back of the wheel so you don't have to use the gear lever, very user friendly.
But i am finally there and the journey was worth it, look out davey skills i'm gunning for you!
Also loads of cars but no novas, online is a must as there's an extra second hand car dealership with rare cars as well as seasonal event with loads of money/xp to be had as well as drift and time trials. (Davey skills tends to be top)
All in all an amazing game although very similar to gt4 except more cars tracks and better graphics of course, buy the wheel if you can find one. The reason ive not been on png since it came out!
I have a top gear reasonably priced car challenge going, Toyota Prius 128bhp, 1260kg, my time is 1.36.3 any takers?
