Yeah, you got that part right. GT is definately not the "real driving simulator" it claims to be. While it looks alright, some of the more detailed Rf mods can compete with it (fsone, VLM's lemans 1979 mod, 1970's sportscar mod, V8factor, PCC'07 etc) while absolutely tearing a whole in GT Physics wise (aswell as visually).


I am looking into getting a similar setup with just the frame/seat, as I already have the wheel/pedals/stick/monitor.
Projectors are definately out my price range for this kind of thing, + I already have a Fast 22" LCD to use.

P.S. Car fund is always getting emptied due to my hobbies. (16years old: Seeking car/New pc/Racing cockpit...Need more dough).

That's a very nice setup !!

it's a pity that logitech don't make a steering wheel that can work on the pc + 360 + ps3 just with adaptor cables.....

Pretty sure PC/PS3 are compatible. I know the old Logitech Drive Force Pro is.

It's a but unfair for Logitech really. It's M$'s fault for not being open for compatibility. I've used both a Momo, and a G25 with a PS3 and they both work perfectly fine.
Can't say the same for 360 though. However that's just M$ being a bunch of money grabbing pricks.

hehe thats very true, and to rub salt in the wound, they take up a lot of your time, so all these expensive toys don't get used anywhere as much as they should.

Well if those wheels are not 100% compatible with the 360 then it looks like I wont be buying one.................ever

I did'nt want to buy sony either (yes I'm a sony hater for various reasons going back to when cassette players were first released ) but if the PS3 is compatible then thats the one I'll buy.........as if I really have any choice


Good one billy for craping on yourself
