The brake by default is sensitive but this is easy to fix, at the beginning of the event during the countdown depress the brake fully twice and set you brake bias lower. I race with zero ABS, typically my Bias is F2 R0 or F3 R0 and I do not have a problem with the brake being too sensitive.

While I am on the brake I find it funny how many people here race with ABS on, I have found this encourages pedal mashing and GT5 ABS is much better than the ABS in my BMW. Sure real cars come out with ABS but GT5 has arcade ABS and IMO if you are chasing the most realistic driving experience you need to turn it off along with all the other driving aids.
 
Power steering or not the G27 doesn't feel like a real car. Every race car I've driven in real life has had hardly any feedback in the steering. Its all through your body. GT5 tries to simulate that feeling through the steering wheel instead and of course that's not going to work. Karts don't feel anything like a G27 just jerking around. I can take a racing kart up to 80 mph and let go of the wheel and it won't start randomly steering. Its called alignment.

It is also GT5's fault the brake is way sensitive. The brake has linear response in GT5. Something you'd only want with a load cell brake. Not a pot brake.

I have to giggle at this, i was watching a video just the other day of the world karting champion passing the finishing line with his hands in the air as he then lost control of the kart and smashed into another driver.
 
Could have hit a bump or something. Some freak failure, etc. Cars and karts just don't behave like that in real life. The FFB might be the weakest part of the whole driving experience. It feels better turned off its so bad.
 
/\ Dont give up. I was playing with my sons DFGT and got to using their stock Civic (they just started their own GT life) and actually was able to get some good lap times with it.

I can see where starting with a slower car and working up from there with the wheel will be key for many.

I have read that going back through the License's will get you used to the wheel as well.

I say dont give up on it yet.
 
You just need to stick with it... it's not a matter of plugging in the wheel and immediately getting it, or getting it after a few hours or even a few days. It took me a couple of months to really get fast with the wheel

The progression will feel very slow at first, but you will get better.

My suggestion would be to start with something with loads of grip... that you'll only get out of shape by doing something silly. Then gradually progress to lower grip cars. Something AWD would be good.

Once you start to get the feel try re-running the licenses.

Don't give up, the reward once you get it is well worth the effort.

Good luck 👍

Yea, I got one today as well and I SUCK! I can't pull off a clean lap to save my life. Deep forest, grand valley, suzuka, no where. Have tried several different cars and this force feedback is not realistic in my opinion. Ive driven a e92 m3, an f430, a GT-R, and my wheel never shook going 100+ on a straight like it does in this game. WHY THE EFF DOES MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKE BAVK AND FORTH WHEN GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE? I have settings set as: Simulation, assist off, an FFB setting is all the way down to 1, yet it it is impossible to control a car. And my brakes lock up with a slight tap of it..I'm very displeased. I find it no fun to be driven off the track because my wheel is shaking back and forth uncontrollably. If anyone has answers for THAT I have open ears!

That's been pretty much my experience with my DF GT. No fun at all. By the way the wheel works fine with NFS HP

...with a controller GT5 is just a game, you can do things with the controller that you can't do in real life such as go lock to lock almost instantly and dramatically oscillating your steering angle and acceleration to get through a corner quicker.

Good post, but just one thing I have to disagree with.

Physically, with a controller, you can go lock to lock within maybe 0.1s. But that doesn't mean the game responds to this - quite the opposite. I have no problem with the pad controlling being handicapped somewhat to level it up with the wheel, in relation to lock to lock. But they've gone way too far.

The steering response with the pad is far too slow. When you get a slide, sometimes it accepts the lock immediately, but most of the time too slowly (slower than possible with a wheel). But it's so slow to release from the lock, which throws you into a tankslapper. Sometimes I find myself releasing the lock maybe 1 second before you actually want it to release, and even then the way it releases is such a slow, prolonged movement.

My G27 is on the way. But I'm still am unhappy about why they have to make the pad handling so bad. GT Academy was a big improvement over Prologue. But the steering has gone even further backwards again, worse than GT4/Prologue/GTAcademy. Awful.
