[quote author=nvme link=1231338466/0#8 date=1231366054]I've got a G25 and IMO it's the best steering wheel combo you can ever get, clutch, paddle and sequential gears and I believe the only steering wheel with a H-shift, realistic feeling pedals, 900 degree steering wheel. It's just awesome for driving simulators.
These are all steering wheels designed for PS3, I think the driving force GT would be the best go if you don't wanna spend as much, only difference between the 2 is the GT doesn't have a H-shift or a clutch, but it does have 900 degree steering and buttons designed just for PS3.
Hmm well the main things I want is the steering and clutch. I have been driving a manual car for some time now (Practical test next month
) and driving games don't feel that realistic now even if I am driving in driver eye view.
Are these actually realistic to the point where you have a biting point on the clutch or can you just slam your foot down, change gear and lift your foot.[/quote]
A few steering wheels do 900 degrees but unfortunately IIRC only the G25 has a clutch. I don't really drive, and from what my friend tells me who drives a Honda, this gearshift and everything on the G25 is a little bit soft. He gets in his car after using the G25 and crunches and misses all his gears.
As for the realistic pedals the accelerator is soft, the brake is hard, and the clutch is something inbetween. You don't feel a "biting point" I don't think. But you can use the clutch for "feathering" I think it's called.
And I've noticed some games don't use a clutch (PC), and out of the games that do, only a few require you to use it realistically, Test Drive Unlimited is all that comes to mind atm. Foot off accelerator, onto clutch, gear, off clutch, back onto accelerator. Some other games don't require you take your foot off the accelerator, but you still can for the more realistic feel.
The steering wheel itself has great force feedback and control for all the games I've played, NFS series, GTR Evulotion, GRID, rFactor.
Overall with the H-Shift, Clutch and 900 degree steering rotation IMO this is the ultimate simulator experience while sitting at your desk. IMO If you want something realistic and have the money the G25 is the best to get. I've even seen instructions on the net to change the H-shifter to make it less 'clicky' and more like in a car.
