When I play GT5 prologue with driving force pro wheel.
It's only supports 180 degrees steering in the game.
Is there an option that i have change in the option menu to get the 900 degrees steering ?
 
thanks,

I tried the Select + R3 + Right Paddle .
But it wont work ,the steer locked in the 180 degrees mode.

I think that gt5 prologue doesn't support 900 degrees steering.
 
My DFP works fine with 900° in Prologue as well. Has to be a setup problem, or the wheel is faulty.
 
To OP, I question what you refer to as "driving force pro" may not even be a driving force pro.

Just what I was thinking!

Does it look like this?

The first pic is the Driving Force Pro, and the second pic is the Driving Force Ex (does not support 900 degree rotation).
 
I have the wheel with the "GT" logo.

The strange thing is when put on the PS3 with the steer plugged in USB the wheel is turning 900 degrees and 180 degrees.

When I startup GT5P the steer automatic turning only 180 degrees.

I did a couple of test but now is working fine.
Maybe I did something wrong.

But thanks everbody for the help.

That is the DFP then.

I have the same thing. When the wheel calibrates itself for the first time though (when I turn on my PS3), it finishes the 900° calibration, but not the 180° calibration - the final "click" at the end is missing. It only does that when it calibrates 180° for the second time when I enter Prologue.

Nice to hear the problem is solved, wherever it came from.

When you go into DFP wheel options from the GT5P menus. There are three setting to choose from, and choose Simulation. That should make the wheel 900 degree
 
If you turn 900 degrees with the steering wheel, does the steering wheel in the interior view also turn 2 and a half times?

Not yet.

There was a video Long before the GT5 DEMO. And it show off the full 900 degree steering wheel in cockpit view.
I'm thinking this feature will be available in full GT5 game.
 
I think they took it out so that the player cant see the steering aided help for controller users. I hope they either bring back full 900* in the game, or make it so if you are using a DFP, G25 or the new GTDFP? whatever its called it will go all 900* and controller will only go 180*. Dont know how feasable that would be but whatever.
 
I guess it would look funny while using a gamepad. But like you said, for wheel users there is no reason to not have it. We know it's already been done.
 
I feel like the game is not really using the full 900 degrees. I was just playing GTR2 and there I felt like I had to turn the wheel more to make big turns. Is the wheel turning radius?

In quick tune you can sort of adjust it.
 
I don't use my DFP that often, but I thought the same thing. It seems like I had to turn the wheel more in other games like GT4.
 
Just for the record: even if the guy in the cockpit turns the steering wheel only so much, the wheels still move accordingly to your wheel. Give it a try: stop the car, choose the external view where you see the whole car, look at it from the front, and then slowly turn the wheel. You will see that the driver only does 90° of steering and then stops, but if you turn your wheel further, the tires will also move further. So this 180° driver thing is a purely optical faux pas.
