Has the new patch addressed the issue of a "wheel" being the unfair advantage in playing the game; more particularly controlling the S. Vettel in the Vettel challenge?

The have "increased" the time for the Seb Vettel challenge so it can be done in a slower time to get bronze.
As for the controller issue, there is a guy in the GT Academy competition right now who is blindingly fast using a controller, at one point was knocking on the door of the top 8 per region to make it to the finals.......
So the controller vs. Wheel "unfair" advantage is kind of a moot point. You have more "input" available, whether it's faster is down to a person to person case it would appear.
not a moot point...but to be more specific...how does one complete the S. Vettel challenge on a controller who has a family, a job and responsibilities as opposed to someone who is an introvert/recluse/trust fund baby?

I'd say you need to dial your skills in with a "quicker learning curve then." It's shown that it is possible to run competitive times with a DS3 compared to a wheel with 900 degrees of input. I cannot run as fast with a controller as I do with my wheel, but it shows it's possible by what "others" are doing. Try using the new "sensitivity adjustment" in the pre race screen. Aside from that, not really sure what to tell you - as I provided some input and it didn't seem to please. Cheers.
Oh it's possible. I think it's because the controller can perform faster and accurate rapid movements that just takes more time using a wheel. When driving at the threshold in GT5 sometimes a lot of rapid movements are needed to keep you on the optimum race line. Like in Green Hell/ Nurburgring.

Why would anybody buy something labelled as "The Real Driving Simulator" and not use a wheel?

gogatrsAnd I know that guy in real life too.
He's actually my real life driving coach for karting.
The problem is that he's breaking the rules because I believe they say somewhere that you can't be a pro driver to enter.
He drives in the F2000 series, he's gotten numerous skip barber scholarships, won multiple karting championships back in Scotland.
He is a great guy and an even better driver.
Lots of fun to kart with in real life.![]()

i have a question:
can somebody (or more than one person) who owns a wheel AND a pad please post some comparitive times up on this thread as i'm really interested to learn the difference in lap times between the two.
obviously, use the same car around the same track for consistency.
i ask this because i am thinking about getting a DFGT within the next month and so want to know not only if it will actually improve my game, but by how much of a margin. (i understand that the time difference will depend on the driver's ability on GT5 but it would still be nice to make some comparisons before i make the purchase).
i'd really appreciate this so i will subscribe to this thread in the hope that some people will be kind enough to provide some feedback.
thanks guys
FYI: so far i have read professional reviews claiming that a wheel is worth about 2-3 seconds per lap but i'm sceptical so would much prefer personal feedback from gamers
I've never really seen GT as a "game" but a simulator like it says on the cover. You make it what you want it to be. You could finish all the races and tests and call it a day if you want or continue to buy more cars, parts and tune to your liking to see what work best for each track.
Back to topic, I personally think there is an advantage to using a wheel but if your investing $150-$600 for a wheel, you better get a return on it. I'm still using a DS3 myself and I cannot get the feel for turning the X2010.
