Well, I was reading up in the RR forum and came across something I've been looking for, for years. Sure, everyone's played GT4 with the logitech 900 degree wheel, but that was then, this is now.

Logitech has released a preview to what's coming out in October. Finally we get a gated shifter and a clutch pedal on a simulator. Only $300 too!!! I guess I'm going to go ahead and preorder this thing.

There's some sample pics in this thread. No real write up's yet but I figured there's a lot of track guys here so I'd give you guys a heads up.

Wow, misshifts in a video game must be fun.

I can't wait

I'll take whatever kind of practice I can get. We loaded GTR with Sebring last week to get me familiar with the course. Sure, it's not the real thing, but at least it's some sort of a heads up.

&lt;---- Knows Jeff will be looking into this soon too.

 

lol crazy. I assume you would have to build some kind of seating configuration to keep all these gadgets from moving around while "driving"?

and dont some nascar guys use this **** to familiarize themselves with tracks?

too bad I sold all my video game **** a long time ago.

 

OMFG check the last pic... nice setup

guess it's about time to score me a cheap old PS2

 

I wonder if the brake and clutch pedal will have some sort of feedback to them.

That was my biggest issue with playing F355 Challenge, I couldn't determine how much the car was braking because the brake pedal felt like there was air in it.... ok I just suck at the game, but still

 

I'm glad I get 50% off logitech from work

I second that. And that clutch...man...must be a leaky master cylinder!

But wait, PC only?

Reading &gt; you...

PC and PS

 

brake and gas should be closer together for heel-toe. Looks pretty rad though. i'm anxious to try it out.

 

pretty sick

Ok, last night at the softball game, I freak'n fell down running to 3rd & only 'rolled' within 3 ft of the bag....you think I'm going to be a gamer???

Dude - I'm a "loser" not a gamer

**NOTE: I wish I had video of my fall...it was HILARIOUS - "fat man roll'n"! btw - I was safe because the 3rd baseman missed the ball when he looked to see me fall

 

You can actually play softball? LOL

 

I hope they release this for Playstation, when/if the new Gran Turismo arrives.

Even today, F355 Challenge is one of the best games i`ve ever played.
Though, I agree with you on the brake pedal issue.

GT4, controller only I'm at 98.4% Only both 24 hour Sarths, 4 hour roadster, Last driving mission and I think 2 more endurance races and I'm done. Then, I'll buy this setup and do it all over again!!! Well, that is unless GT5 comes out.

Mang, I felt the tremors over here. j/k

I wish I had a way that I could use this on the HD and still feel comfortable.

 

Dave, thanks a lot for the info. It's great that
GT4 is not forgotten.
