#LOGITECH DRIVING FORCE GT REVIEW FULL#

The wheel may feel very different for games specifically designed to support it. That said, it is very, very important to note that I tested the wheel with Formula One Championship Edition, which may or may not be communicating the optimal force feedback directions to the brand new wheel. The lack of resistance in the center zone will be a bigger problem. Still, I wouldn't be at all surprised too see some enterprising hobbyist post instructions for beefing up the spring resistance on the pedals very soon. Take your shoes off and you will have better control feel. The light pedal forces are only a problem if you insist on wearing shoes while you drive. That lighter feeling carries all the way through the driving experience: the pedal resistance is lighter and the force feedback (particularly in the center, where it matters the most) is very light. The wheel itself is well constructed, but not surprisingly feels plastic-y compared to a more substantial wheel like the G25. would be adjustable to follow changing track surface conditions, fuel loads, or tire wear. Brake bias, traction control (well, it would have to be pre-2008 F1, admittedly), spring rates, etc. I'm not convinced that this adjustment will make a great deal of difference in the majority of Gram Turismo cars, but if you consider the plethora of real-time, driver-controllable adjustments available on something like a Formula One car, you will see the long-term implications of this assignable control. At the bottom of the right side spoke of the wheel, right where it will fall easily under your right thumb, is a 24-position adjustment dial. The second innovation is quite interesting, and this is the first that I've seen of it (although I sure wish my G-25 had it!). After all, there aren't many street cars that have a steering range of the more typical 270-degree range. Given the introduction and release being timed with the release of Gran Turismo 5, the more realistic range of motion will dovetail nicely with the types of cars that are the bread and butter of the Gran Turismo stable.

First, the new wheel follows the lead of the top-of-the-line G25 model by allowing a full 900-degree rotation. In addition to the afore mentioned logo, the Driving Force GT includes a couple of other improvements. Fortunately, that does not seem to be the way of Logitech. If the only innovation was the light-up GT logo in the hub of the wheel, there wouldn't be much to differentiate it from the other wheels already out there. With Gran Turismo 5 on the way, and the Prologue edition already release, Logitech has delivered a new GT-badged force feedback wheel tagged as the Driving Force GT, available for the Sony Playstation 2 and Playstation 3. It thus became just a matter of time until the market became attractive enough for the big players to make their presence known, and in the case of wheel controllers, the big dog in the yard is clearly Logitech. Anyone that has tried one will tell you that even a low-budget wheel is likely to shave a notable amount of time off of every lap.
