Greets everyone,

I've been hammering on GT5p for a few days now, trying to "settle down" on the game properly. However, i'm having a bit of an issue with the Dualshock controller. Mainly concerning the calibration of the Thumbsticks and triggers (all analog inputs). To put it simply, by using the trigger or the
analog stick, pushing them only half-way through will generate 100% force ratio/power. In other words, by pushing the thumbstick halfway forward, the car's accel power is already maxed. I've searched this site and the game's menus without success concerning a way to calibrate the controller properly... surely there is a way to better setup the controller?

sidenote: yes i understand that a wheel is better, but i do not have 250$ + the means to set that wheel up confortably as of yet.

Sidenote2: GT5p is shipped on a gaming console which's default controller is a dualshock[3], it stands to reason the game should be playable throughout with the controller.

Any help would be appreciated.​
 
It is a dual shock 3, I had the same problem, I Had to take it apart.. and twist, and re adjust the THUMB sticks again, It worked, but once I put it back 2gether, One calble snapped by accident and had to buy a new DUalshock 3 :(
 
:odd: What? I've never had an issue with my DS3?
 
great, so its not the game, its the controller itself? anyone else can confirm this?
 
I dont have any problems with Dual Shock 3 controller...
 
I drop my controller, there for the stick was not aligned, and when I push UP about half way my car had 100 percent power, and when I push down all the way, It was 50 percent brakes.
TO fix it, I had to take it apart, and just nimble the stick a bit, was fixed.
 
:scared: I dropped mine last night and that didn't happen...? I think
 
btw, just make it clear from my previous post, this problem does not only occur with the Analog Sticks (Thumbsticks)... i get the same input problem with the triggers... which tells me its still the game... Anyone's got trouble with the Triggers as well? (if used for Accel/brake for example).
 
Setting the sensitivity of the controller would be a godsend. It is too bad it is not an option.
 
The buttons of my DS3 feel actually like pressure sensitive after todays update !!!:eek:
Problem solved ( for me at least ).
PD :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
 
oh? cool... i'll give it a try tonight. Hopefully that fixes the whole thing.
 
My was not with the game. Because I even play Other games before taking it apart, Uncharted, GTA4, and in every other game, The camera, or GAS, tilted UP by itself.
So the patch fixed it? GOOD!! How are the triggers? are they working correct? Like you press All the way down, you have 100% gas, half way is 50% gas etc..

Sounds like your pad was broken, heh?
As for the patch, i haven't test the triggers but X and square and i could apply 50%, 60%,... throttle / brake easy just like it should be.
I assume triggers should work the same way now :dopey:
 
I hope the G25 is fixed Properly, When I applie lets say 25% of gas on my pedal, in game it does show 25% but its bit jumpy like 24-26% does not really mess me up, but I don't know if that was GAME issues or my foot is shacke? haha
