I am having great difficulty in controlling fast cars under decelleration, particulary at the nurburgring, is it because the place is so bumpy, ive tried using both a ds2 and a dfp steeringwheel and they are still uncontrollable, i feel the steering is alot more sensitive than previous versions, i had gt prologue and that was fine, but as soon as i got my hands on gt4 i knew something wasnt right, what do you's think
Borrowed my friend's DFP for two nights, putting in over eight hours on it. I had exactly the same problem with it.
I went back and forth between the DFP and my old Mad Catz wheel. I can only conclude that Logitech and PD didn't quite get it right in their collaboration on the GT4 project. I can turn faster laps, and make fewer mistakes, and correct skids and slides better, when I use the Mad Catz.
At first I thought it was the Force Feedback that was making the control so difficult with the DFP, but later I realized that there is too much linearity in the way the DFP turns the front wheels. The MC's more-progressive curve, if you can call it that, makes it easier to make small steering corrections at high speeds.
The biggest problem I had with the DFP was correcting and holding slides and drifts when I was off course and out in the loose stuff, which I often was with that unit. I always ended up over-correcting and spinning the other way, ending up backwards against the wall. With the MC I just steer into the slide, modulate the throttle, and power back onto the asphalt like I did in GT3, and even in NFSHP2.
I know I am in the Cathedral of Our Lady of The Driving Force Pro here at GTP, but I don't care: The DFP is very much over-rated. Even the supposedly cheap and crappy Mad Catz MC2 results in better control and faster laps.
Sorry, folks, but Logitech didn't get it right.
