Xbox 360 Steering Wheel
I've just discovered the joys of Forza 2 & thought it would be better with a wheel. I have a Momo steering wheel for the PC, but, of course, it won't work on my Xbox. So I'm looking at buying a wheel which hopefully would work with both the PC and the XBox - does the official Microsoft wheel work with both ? Also which is the best wheel, the MS one ?
|
Wheels for the 360 a bit of a problem. Really there isn't a great one out. We really don't have a Logitech Driving force quality wheel yet.
The MS wheel has been good to me with no faults and a good force feedback feel. The unit isn't a 900° rotation so it will get shot down in flames by some people on here. I get on well with my one when bolted to my playseat and I'm no slouch on Forza 2 so it can't be all that bad. |
I've got the Logitech Drive FX. Axiel Feedback, not true force feedback, but far prefer it to the Microsoft jobbie. Seems a lot more secure and better built than Microsoft's attempt! 'FFB' works well in Forza, but nothing in Race Pro (wont start that old one again though!!)
|
Well I managed to find a cheap MS wheel on ebay so I'll give that a bash. Is Race Pro any good ? Must admit I'm loving Forza 2, wish I'd bought it ages ago ! It feels miles better than Grid
|
Race pro isn't a patch on Forza.
If your playing on live and not on my friends list allready , send me a request. I'll fix you up with some quick tuned cars for online. Most of my b class cars/times are top 200 times. |
Cheers for the offer, I'll take you up on that. I'm still working through the career mode at the min, so haven't ventured online yet.
Got the wheel today & its pretty good, though it would've been nice to be able to alter sensitivity levels in Forza, there seems to be more & better ways of altering the wheel's behaviour on Grid. It didn't come with an AC adaptor, so the force feedback is a bit limp, especially running off two crummy AA batteries. Does anyone know where I can get one ? |
There's no force feedback off just the battery's AFAIK. I imagine the AC is just a standard one. I'll try check mine tonight.
|
It's one of these. No idea where you'd get one in the UK though...

shopto.net are doing grid for 13quid delivered this week! |
The power adaptor for my Momo PC steering wheel was the correct voltage & an exact fit so I'm using that :)
Yeh I heard a few people saying Race Pro wasn't that good - shame really I used to love GTR2 on the PC. |
So did I. Unfortunately Race Pro is a poor relation :(

Sorry to bump this but saves a new thread. I'm after selling my wheel as never use it. I cant find the PGR2 disk which i believe has the wheel drivers on. Can I sell it without it and will it work Ok? does the console look for the drivers on xbox live for example?

Probably the best wheel you can get for the xbox. The 911 turbo S wheel. You can also use the club sport pedals which has a load cell brake. Very good combo. £300+ though. I have a G27 for the PC and its rather good, the only reason I did not go Fanatec is they dont have the best reputation for build quality so I have gone with the G27 for now. (not Xbox compatable) |

Cheers, I thought the dash updates a bit back included the drivers. seems to support that. I can flog it on ebay with confidence then! ;)
|
Actually if you want the PGR2 disc I've got you're welcome to it mate.
|
Cheers, that's a kind offer. I'm pretty sure it's not required as you say but if I find out it is then I may well drop you a PM if that's Ok :)

What happened to those days of on line bumper cars I mean fair racing? No one play Forza 3 any more? I have to admit i've not played it anywhere near as much as I did Forza 2.
|
No problem STi :D
I felt inspired to plug it all back in this morning and had a go on Forza 3 with the wheel. Had a great time. Checked my stats and I'm only 33% of the career done! Like B2Z, I absolutely hammered Forza 2, yet F3, even with more tracks I've not had the inclination to complete it. Loved the F2 on-line races the Scoobynet peeps had (even if RB5 used to blitz everyone :lol1: ) |
I have a G25 its awesome and works with 360 n ps3.
|
The G25 works with the 360!?!!? does it see it as the G25 in terms of the shifter being fully functional etc?
|
oh i dont have either console I assumed it did as its USB, maybe not then.
|
The G25 is pc and ps2/ps3 only and the same goes for the G27 even though Logitech knew their customers were screaming out for 360 compatability. Why it hasn't happened smacks of Microsoft preventing it.
|
Why would MS prevent it when it works with PC's using MS OS's ??
More likely Logitech being lazy. The G30 apparently works with the 360. I think someone has made their own adapter for the g25/27 as well, not sure if there's much truth in it though. |
Damn you Bioforger for getting my hopes up! ;)
It'll be MS restricting the license allowing other manufacturers peripherals to connect to it. They did the same with the original Xbox I think. |
lol apologies :)
|
Guys my wheel sold for £76 on ebay.... I was amazed! Seems they are out of stock everywhere for some reason so a good time to sell!
