Anyone else find it difficult to keep it in straight line?? After I go above 190mph it starts to spaz out from left to right. With the force feedback set to strong, it's very hard to keep it in a straight line. Is this "realistic" and me just being a wuss, or a genuine bug?
 
I think they had something like that going on with FFB wheels in GT4 as well. PD's probably trying to simulate how hard a car is to control at high speed.
 
Go ask AMG what he thought about driving the LM cars on lemans in GT4 during UKGTP7.
I had a hard time because of the force feedback in 900° mode, but he always drove in 180° mode.
Driving in a straight line at that speed is practically impossible with that setting :)
 
With the G25 you don't. The wheel used has been a DFP which had the option of doing it.
 
but you can change it in settings right??
there is also steering adjustment for the f12007 isn"t there??...
 
I guess my post was a bit confusing, now that i read it again.
I meant to point out that 180° mode with the DFP makes it impossible to drive such a fast car in a straight line.
If the steering wheel turns 25° because of FF it doesn't matter that much in 900° mode, but it does in 180° mode.
 
It's very very violent! Especially going into 1, there is a series of bumps that if you hit them just right, they give a washboard effect in any car.

If you want to tone it down, turn your FFB all the way down, turn steering assist on super easy, put power steering on, pretty much do everything you can to make the wheel "easy" to use, like for a kid. Then it is still a handful ;)

If IRL cars handled like that before power steering was added, I completely understand why they added it. It is not safe without it.
 
I hated how when I played GT4 anything over 230mph was like holding onto a bucking bull. Not realistic IMO.

lol, i only recently turned on power steering, but only because i wanted to drift.
With it turned off you can't turn the wheel fast enough :)

It's probably because of the bumps in the road, don't you think? :)

putte,do you ever hear a f1 driver complain about the car being "undrivable" in a straight line????....i think not!:sly:
maybe softening the front srings ,or toing the front wheels out a bit could help??:)

Have you ever gone 230mph in real life?

At 230mph im sure its pretty hard to keep control of a car...
 
The F2007 is hardly a car, man. It's a totally different beast. The only thing it's got in common with traditional cars are the fact it's got four wheels and an engine. These things are engineered to be as stable as possible, as precisely as possible. They shouldn't be this difficult to drive in a straight line.

Have you ever heard of an F1 driver doing physical training?

And these F1 drivers are totally different than you and me. These guys are extremely fit athletes, right up there with other sports like football, tennis, etc.

These cars are engineered to be fast, and doing well and driving are the driver's responsibilities. Of course, you won't have a car twitching all over, but what I am saying is that an F1 car is not easy to drive. If it is so easy, why are you still here? Why am I still here? Typing on a GTP forum doesn't pay as much as driving in F1.
 
The way my DFP shakes at high speeds is definitely unrealistic. There is no way it is close to real life at all.
 
Yup, I had to turn my FFB setting down to 8 or 9 in fear that the G25 would burst apart on long straights. It's sudden and annoying, and rougher than even hitting some kerbs at a high speed.
 
They better not have this problem with the DF GT, since it's the first wheel created with the help of Polyphony.
 
In GT4 I found out if you turn the downforce in the front down, it wouldn't shake. I guess this is PD way of showing downforce. I know this won't help you in
GT5P, but I thought you might like to know.
 
Most of the tuned cars in GT5P do have adjustable aerodynamics, so I might give that a try.

Because I myself have driven over 160mph and it was a impressive feeling however easily controlable. Have you ever heard of Smokey? He has atleast 2 videos of him breaking the 200mph mark on the highway in a supra and a skyline. Or the owner of Top Secret and his 220mph skyline run on the highway. Or the guy in the USA with the lamborghini hitting 219 on US highways. All these street cars looked relatively under control during their runs. No violent steering wheel shake or no one in their right mind would attempt it.
In GT4 the g25 shakes over 230mph in Class C and LMP cars. This is unrealistic and should not happen.

Yes, because during extended periods of racing you have to remained 100% focused which wares on your mind and body. Thus making it very important they are completely healthy.

Yup, and how many do you see CRASHING IN A STRAIGHT LINE without contact? I'm assuming you don't have a G25 so why are you debating anything right now?
