Hey everyone

Couple of days ago I received my lovely new Fanatec Carrera 911 wheel. It's proving to be a great bit of kit so far!

Anyway, I decided that I'd pick up a PS3 and GT5 at last after being an avid Forza/LFS player for many years. I've got a couple of questions though.

I'm playing only using the standard setup set to 720 sensitivity, 100ffb (in game settings - power steering on, 10ffb) and was wondering if I could get some help setting the wheel up. I'm finding it okay for racing but I can't really feel and FFB despite having it on the highest setting.

Also, I'm a big fan of drifting (I used to drift an MX5 in real life until very recently) however when trying to drift in GT5 the countersteer on the wheel feels very slow. Usually I'd let the wheel spin itself, then grab it and control it. Using this method is painful as the wheel turns so slow that by the time you've got it in the position you want, the car spins out!

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm looking forward to becoming an active part of the community. :dopey:
 
I'd start by disabling power steering. I think that's the source of all your problems since it dampens the FFB and hurts your drifting as well since the wheel isn't turning quick enough.

I'm using a G25 with FFB on 10, simulation steering and no power steering.
 
Hi everyone. I've gotten the perfect setup for racing, now it's just time to tune it for drifting. The wheel is still way to slow for drifting it seems. I'm hoping this is something I can sort out. I know that most Fanatecs are generally not as quick as Logitech but this is painfully slow, especially considering it has the same motor etc. as Logitech's flagship wheels.
