DFGT Users. Your Opinion.

[Hiroshi Awazu]

So what do you think of your wheel?

What about rfactor, Simbin{5-6 games}, GSC, LFS?
I had huge problems under brakes and under acceleration with the DFGT.

I suppose it's likely that my years with the G25 as my only wheel conditioned me to press the brake and accelerator in a controlled manner, and I've continued that when using my DFGT. If you start sim racing with a DFGT then you might learn bad habits. But then again, if you work up to simracing with NFS Shift, GT5 or Forza (which many people will probably do) then you will have even more bad habits to unlearn.

If I think back to my first year learning GTR2, rFactor and Race06/Race07, it took a number of months to get to grips with the amount of nuance needed in the pedals and being very accurate and delicate with the steering to be able to run Simbin sims with all the assists turned off. That learning curve could possibly be longer with less effective pedals than the G25/G27 ones. But I am sure that the DFGT can be used effectively if you have the correct habits in place.

^ I'm pretty sure he stubbed his toe on a DFGT or something... reason doesn't seem to have much to do with his arguments.

I can believe that as you've eliminated the the products biggest weakness, ie, both the gas and brake pedal.

My best was 2m01.3, but very hard to repeat, my average best time would be more like 2m02.
.

Haven't much time to practice, but I already hit a 2m01flat, so within a matter of days I should sneak into the 2xxx range for the first time, and if i can consistently post say a 2m00.3s, I'll have pole 98% of the time at Monza.

Did a 1m45.9 using Dracers set up which he claims is good for 144.9{F3000 brno}....I could never drive dracers set ups with the DFGT, it was hopeless.
