Anyone on here playing this?

More importantly anyone playing with a wheel on PS3? My Logitech Driving Force GT makes the car nearly undriveable, feels like it has loads of understeer, So far its ruining the game for me a bit.

I'm sure its not just my lack of skill

read the codemasters forum,

i think there is an update to fix this.

gameplay is definitely different from 2011, and had to get use to it all over again, i was understeering heaps at the beginning but now have got use to the gameplay and im driving normal now.

using the DFGT but on PC.

awesome graphics and gameplay, i love it!

I worked out my issue with the steering wheel.

In 2011 you could just yank the wheel full to the left/right and it would just steer as hard as it could

in 2012 if you do this it will understeer, you have to use more of a shallow turn of the wheel the faster you go. My mistake to start off with, and now that I'm used to it I really like it, makes it a bit more real

At the start I was struggling on Professional but now I think I might have to go back to Legend. There's a few things that aren't on the game that should be, like being able to watch the practice/qualifying sessions

But all in all its am improvement over F1 2011

Just chiming in here that I've been really into F1 2012 lately. Like most of you I struggled with the understeer compared with F1 2011 initially but a few tweaks to the setup on my G25 and I've gotten the hang of it now.

Have been throwing the car around a bit lately in Korea, India and now Abu Dhabi :D

Started playing again last week after not touching it for months... Career mode, driving for force india in my first season... On Pro I can't get anywhere near the AI, but one skill level down (intermediate I think?) and I'm smashing them consistently by 2-3 seconds a lap. The gap between the 2 skill levels is too big imo...

I'm using a controller though, so I don't think it's possible to drive very well with it when you can't really regulate braking/acceleration/turning... Anyone else gone from controller to wheel and noticed a massive difference in their times?

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
