I had a simular problem, i had to end up using a older version on games for windows ok i hope that helps.

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

Could you tell me which version you use and where you found it?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Anybody interested in some organized racing next weekend?

 

[Hannu Karesola]

Yes, please! I prefer Sunday because not yet sure about Saturdays schedule.

Maybe next Wednesday when there's no league races?

 

[Warren Dawes]

If you do opt for Wednesday's, would you mind making it not line up with our RBR Rally Club events, they are every alternate Wednesday, last one being this week.

 

[Niels Pedersen]

If with you, just not sunday night - superbowl

 

[Hannu Karesola]

Just find out that also Saturday is ok for me.

Bought this game the other day on eBay.

Fired it up this weekend and was having a go when my fiancé said she'd like to try it...
Playing with the pad she soon lost interest and said she just couldn't drive it like that.

Brought the G25 out and plugged it in and now she loves it as much as I do. And she hates videogames!!!!

So, all in all, a good game turned into something special with the wheel.

I do totally agree with you, Kevin, with regards to Colin's name being used for something that is almost totally the opposite in format to the legend himself.
They should called it, Ken Block Dirt 2 - No problem with that naming convention at all...

Rudra, when you say DFGT is that the name of the wheel? Driving Force GT?
I found that the G25 worked fine just plugging it in and going from there.

 

[Rudra Chattopadhyay]

Yeah Alex, I can play GT5P no problem, but I as a matter of fact have Dirt 1 & so may be it doesn't support the G25 / G27. Just got the Dirt 1 as it was cheaper.. & now repenting

 

[Niels Pedersen]

Anyone has the problem with the G25, that the brakelight is constant glowing?

 

[James Johnson]

Edit: Wrong Area. XD

 

[Alex Townsend]

Easily sorted mate, sell Dirt 1 on eBay and put the proceeds towards Dirt 2!

 

[Rudra Chattopadhyay]

Great idea mate, & congrats on the GT5P hotlap time.. I can put it up on Ebay & see what happens.. very few PS3 racers in India but worth a try..

 

[Oops]

Hello all, Ive just got the steam version of this and I was wondering if anyone has any settings for the G25?:biggrin:
must admit Im enjoying this.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hi,

I just use the default setting of the wheel, which feels quite okay for me. Good game isn't it?

 

[Hannu Karesola]

I'm also using defaults for g25 and it feels great.

 

[Oops]

I just realized that I hadn't the logitech profiler installed so I downloaded it and I cant believe the difference that it makes, I now have a preset for the G25, I even went on-line last night :wink: I took a bit of a beating though but still very much enjoyed it, I just cant believe how good this game is and I nearly didn't bother getting it at all, if any one feels like having a blast at on line racing id be up for that.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Its better than it seems

OK at first i thought this is an ok game as it was just giong to be another rally game, haveing dowloaded the rally cross cars and tracks for r factor and was looking for the same kind of fun . But this takes it to another level (sorry to and r factor die hards ) i cant put it down , and i hated the games like grid and need for speed (graphiclly exerlant ) but to arcadedy, but dirt 2 gets away with it its plays and runs so good bought it through steam used my xbox (sorry for swearing) details and away i went . Got my G25 working good not to much adjustments needed , and there i was slideing round the corner in a anticlockwise dirrection... the online is also great the races last say 3 mins and then a little break before the next event .. ive spent hours learning tracks setting up my cars for a good night raceing online only to be punted off at the first corner so now useually just race with freinds and still love gtr gtr2 there so hard to play well and kind of feel as if theve made raceon to easy (not that im an expert) so here i am with dirt 2 great for when freinds come over and serious enough for me on my own ... come and find me if you want to race (Bamboosha).....

 

[Alex Townsend]

Yeah, can only see what happens. Say you'll post worldwide and you should get a few more takers.

Looking forward to the next hotlap and getting some TTs/Races on Dirt 2 in the near future too.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hmmm my DiRT 2 is undergoing a serious Steam Upgrade at the moment.
