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?

    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.
