Anyone played it with the wheel yet? The breaking is far too sensitive, just touch the break pedal at the car locks up, also feel the force feedback is cack compared to the GT4/Logitech setup! Unless I've missed something in the setup of this wheel, it's a huge disappointment!

I don't have the MS-wheel but am very tempted get one for this game. In regards to the braking sensitivity. Have you already tried to adjust the brake power in the car settings? Maybe changing these can help.

I've not had any problems with the brakes (you just have to use a bit of finesse ) but the force feedback doesn't seem as strong as it does with logitech wheel. Not had much time to play with it yet though so I'm still forming an opinion...

No ammount of finesse helps. If you imagine full pressure on the brake pedal to be 8/8ths, then I'm put 1/8th pressure on the pedal and still the wheels lock. This is in the Golf GTi, have't tried chaning the braking sensitivity yet.

Not tried the golf yet. I'm using a mini at the moment and I can easily complete a race (in first place) without locking the wheels once. Sounds like you might need to visit the car setup

Just turned on ABS and added a big brake kit, reduced the pressure and sent some bias to the rear, much more fun and no stupid lock ups!

YouTube - Forza on the BIg Screen (no edit pc gone bad )

really bad video of my setup/screen.

Had a bad day with gadgets so the video is mega poor.

(battery went bad on camcorder + video editing pc with card reader has gone legs in the air )
