Hi,
Im trying to use my clubsport wheel and pedals with gt5.
So far I cant get it working. I have the buttons on the wheel functioning, But thats about all. No FFB and no Pedals.
The only thing you should have to do is "sign on" to the PS3. On my CR-E that requires pressing the large black button to the left of the display (puts it in PC mode) and then simultaneously press the large and small button on the left of the display to put it in PS3 mode. I don't know what's required on your wheel but something similar will be necessary.
I think Rred has your answer. You're most likely going into PC mode, instead of PS3. In PC, you can access the PS3 buttons but everything else won't work for racing.
