Thanks! Now its clear this sensitivity issue is purely down to the lack of available settings in Driveclub

Or It could be your friends driving style, Driving with a wheel is a lot different than driving with a controller, The controller takes a lot less input, one inch of controller steering is equivalent to 270° of actual steering, but with a wheel you have to make the actual 1 to 1 ratio of steering to get the same response, but it can be verified by monitoring in cockpit mode the avatars hands on the wheel, if the sensitivity is turned all the way up, slowly turn the wheel of the T80 and if every slight increment is reflected in the avatars steering, it is not the wheel sensitivity, it's just a matter of time to make the transition adjustment, I experienced the same thing, I raced with controllers from GT1 to GT6 12/2014, and it took a couple of weeks of loosing in Novice mode in GT6 LOL! but once your friend gets acclimated to wheel driving, they will love it. Tell them to give it a couple of weeks, and not resort to going back to the controller, no matter how much slower they are with the wheel.:banghead:
Enjoy!!:cheers:

No he is deffo not going back to controller. His only grief is lack of wheel settings in Driveclub. He did as you said and when he slowly turns wheel, wheel in Driveclub doesnt move exactly the same but with delay. Now he is used to it so all good. Im glad i went with T300 instead

That shouldn't happen!! Here is troubleshooting procedure:
TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARNING
• My wheel is not functioning correctly or seems improperly calibrated:
- Switch off your console, completely disconnect your wheel and all cables, reconnect everything and
then restart your game.
- Make sure that the wheel’s USB sliding switch (7) is in the correct position (PS4 or PS3) before
connecting the wheel's USB connector (10) to the console.
- Never move the wheel or press on the pedals when connecting your wheel, in order to avoid any
calibration problems.
- Never move the wheel or press on the pedals when the game is starting up, in order to avoid any
calibration problems.
• My pedal set is not functioning correctly:
- Reconfigure your wheel in your game’s controller options.
• I can't configure my wheel:
- On PS3™, in your game’s Options / Controller / Gamepads menu: select the most appropriate
configuration.
- On PS4™, in your game’s Options / Controller / Wheels menu: select the most appropriate
configuration (Thrustmaster T80 Option).
- Refer to your game’s user manual or online help for more information.
• My wheel’s steering is not responsive enough:
- On PS3™, use the wheel’s Sensitivity Adjustment function, described on page 5 of this manual.
- On PS4™, go to the game’s Options / Controller / Wheels menu.

T80 Instruction Manual link: .http://ts.thrustmaster.com/download/accessories/Manuals/T80RW/T80_Manual.pdf

I would return it for an exchange for another one, if it still has latency after checking all of these steps. He may have a defective wheel.

To adjust sensitivity, hold both paddle shifters simultaneously and then press up on the D-Pad.

The center light will change accordingly:

Red= Normal
Orange= Sport
Green= Racing

GT 7????? Who has specs on GT 7???

I'm afraid I'm not wrong my friend, but correction, I said FULLY compatible on the PS4 console, The T100 and the T500 are NOT FULLY compatible on the PS4 New gen Console.



I got the Email straight from Thrustmaster because one of my online racer buddies were telling not to buy the T80, buy the T100 so I investagated the matter, here is the the Comment from Thrustmaster:

My message:
Is The T100 compatible with The PS4 system because I'm seeing people playing Drive Club on PS4 with a T100 wheel here is a link and it is also mentioned as a wheel that Project Cars supports on PS4 here is A link http://www.projectcarsgame.com/beyond-reality.html So what is the facts on the compatibilty for the T100 wheel?

Thrustmaster's Response:
Dear Mr. Haulin_Hebrew
Regarding your T100 FFB.


We thank you for your interest in Thrustmaster products and for reaching us regarding your inquiry.

The T100 FFB was designed as PS3 compliant gaming device:

http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/t100-force-feedback-racing-wheel

http://ts.thrustmaster.com/download/accessories/Manuals/T100FFB/T100_FFB_Manual.pdf

To be able to use the unit on the PS4 console you need to first check with the game developer. The unit cannot be used on the menu PS4 console as it is not detected. But if the game developer (like in the case of DriveClub and Project Cars) decides to include support for this particular wheel model then you are able to use it.

Regarding the use of the unit on the PS4 console:

- For a better FFB we recommend to deactivate the auto-center of the wheel. For this press the FORCE BUTTON = F on the wheel (the led must not blink!)

- In the menu of the console the wheels calibrate but stick to the left side, forcing the FFB motor. We strongly recommend to plug the wheel to the PS4 once the game is started!!!

- Launch the game with the gamepad

- ONLY after the game is launched, connect the wheel to the console (the wheel will auto-calibrate)
Play!

I have 3 wheels,t80,t300rs and the t100,the t100 burnt up and starting smoking..
 
Hi Haulin_Hebrew , just wanted to ask how the T80 is keeping up? Is it still working well?
Was Max right? Did the bungee cord break? And one more question, I know it doesnt have FF, but does it have any form of vibration?

I'm Happy to report not even so much as a glitch of malfunction in my T80, and sorry bro but there is no vibration in the T80, and Max is right about one thing, he is a Beast on his favorite circuit, i couldn't beat him once LOL!! And I have great NEWS: Fanatec Wheel Support Comes To Consoles! It will it be used on the PS4 for Project Cars 3/23/2015, and hopefully on GT 7 as well http://www.projectcarsgame.com/ So I may wait before I get A Thrustmaster T300 if the price is comparable to the Fanatec wheels.
 
Thanks so much for the info Haulin_Hebrew! its kinda hard finding info on the T80 online, its great hearing directly from an owner.
lol wow, so Max is that good, huh? lol Awesome Max.
Wish I could get a Fanatec . . . or the T300, but in my country, the T300 retails for $500 and the T500 for $900 . . . so, Im left with the T80 . . . thats $120 here...

I just priced some Fanatec wheels and equipment, It's too expensive for me, I am going with the Thrustmaster T300, with the shifter, peddles, and F1 wheel add-on when GT7 is released, I will start with the T300 and F1 Add-On if Project Cars is really good, then get the Shifter and Add-on peddles when GT7 is released, A little at a time because all this stuff is costly, but I love racing games, it's my favorite pass time.
 
Update T80 Still Going Strong!!! Great In Project CARS TOO!!!
