HeHehe, i've cancellled my Trustmaster and ordered the Madcatz, don't want to wait another month or so for it to come over here. Besides, it's supported and cheaper Doesn't look as neat though. But hey, as long as it handles.

 

[ColoneLTurK]

[freeman2b]

I thrustmasters GTA clutch edition. F1 2010 with perfect no problem! but with the 2011, I have a problem with the accelerator pedal, even after having tested all the different settings possible, stroke the acceleration is not progressive but a direct 100%, so it is for now impossible to play with the pedals: (

Thanks for your efforts. There are a couple of newer products supported by Xbox that have not made your list.
I have summarised the Xbox offerings below with my personal editorial comments.

Maker	Item	Appr Price	Compatability	Summary
Fanatec	CSR Elite	£500	XBox, PS3, PC	Essentially their new Clubsport setup (see the video below) but with Xbox compatibility and less features limited by console. Two big motors New optical system “direct sensor technology” on axis vs motor. Sports style wheel with carbon fibre construction. They will make other wheel styles available based on demand. Two screws to undo to swap. Pedals are from £29.00r adapter for Xbox ones for £15.00.
Fanatec	CSR	£200 + pedals.	XBox, PS3, PC	Similar looking wheel to above but no Carbon and sits on an updated/improved version of the old GT2 workings. (link to Photo below)
Madcatz	FFB	£180	Xbox	Updated and rebadged Saitek 660 FFB Wheel with added metal construction (or facings?). (link to Photo below)
Microsoft	Official	£100	Xbox	Discontinued. Prices rising. Durability queries.
Madcatz	Wireless	£80	Xbox	Wireless Vibration but no FFB.
Microsoft	Controller	£60	Xbox	The funny looking one like a WW2 Bomber controller.
Datel		£54.99	Xbox	Wireless Vibration but no FFB steel bearings
Thrustmaster	458 Italia	£70.00	Xbox	Wired, Vibration, No FFB. Expensive and basic..
Datel		£29.99	Xbox	Wired Vibration but no No FFB
Madcatz	MC2	£40	Xbox	Wired Vibration but No FFB, Cheap but functional.

My personal conclusions.
Fanatec are doing some great design work but appear to me to have had some growing pains as quality control, logistics and customer service haven’t kept pace with their rapid growth. Beautiful designs, very sexy but far from trouble free. They are more like Ferrari than Porsche in this regard.
Madcatz have done us proud with a $40 non FFB wheel but I would find it hard to pay more than £100 for the FFB one. Original (and apparently not bad) Saitek 660 it is based on was £59.99 in 2008 back when a Logitech G25 was £200. If it’s over £100 they are being naughty. If my estimates above are correct I would have to go the extra for the CSR. Their wireless non FFB wheel appears value.
Thrustmaster appear to be keen to see what happens when they join two companies that like to overcharge for peripherals (Xbox and Ferrari) together on one product. The fruit is the 458 Italia. Same as a £29.99 wheel but more expensive. Personally I’ll just be buying the prancing horse sticker.
I would buy the Logitech G27 (£200.00 at moment) in a heartbeat if it was Xbox compatible.
Karl Raper has a FFB wheel. I have to have one because if he has one and is fast then when I have one I will be fast no?

So, I have a Thrustmaster Steering Wheel Feedback GM-3200 ( I know, not supported ). The thing is, on F1 2010 it works just fine. Didn´t had to make any changes on setups to make it work. But on F1 2011 the wheel is really weird. Either the wheel is turning way 2 much ( Cant handle the car in a single line ) or its to hard to turn. Peddals are having a bit trouble also. I tried a few setting by my own but couldn´t find a good one. Any solutions out there?[h=1][/h]

 

[David O'Reilly]

Victor I had to totally change my settings. (Madcatz MC2 Race Pro Carbon Elite).*NB Small italics are made up words to make me feel better about my cheap wheel
Dont know if it helps you but they are now:

25/9/11	Dead Zone	Saturation	Linearity
Steering	0%	20%	29%
Throttle	2%	25%
Brake	2%	25

David can u tell me my mine is so different to yours? i am new enough to the wheel and not sure what way to go about it, I am goin to try your setup and see how it feels.

 

[Peter Hooper]

David's settings really give a good feel for the car and give throttle progression I think you will like them. However, it is a personal thing and what suits one person may not work for someone else. Experiment with them and you'll find the right balance for your style. The settings certainly have to be different in 2011 as opposed to those used in 2010.

 

[Michael Sheedy]

i also have all assits off but traction control on medium. will this make a difference?

 

[David O'Reilly]

I can't really tell you why.
It was more intuitive and trial and error. I knew I had to wind back throttle response and steering response and kept playing with settings till it felt good.
I took one guys settings from here and used one or two with what I had and when I got to this combination I did some laps and just said "thats the setting".
I have no assists on. TCS will hide throttle probs

 

[Michael Sheedy]

i have gone with davids setup but change linarity to 5%. when it was at 29% i couldnt turn aswel i thought.

 

[Timo Hoogendorp]

i've got it! now all i have to do is get used to it

 

[GTA Realizzer]

For PC-Gamepads you could add: Saitek P990. I have this, worked very good on F1 2010, as it now does on F1 2011.

@colonelTurk,
G27
I have the same freaking annoying problem as you. Everytime I leave the game and come back, I have to always setup the steering wheel cos it always says KEYBOARD....Man makes me want to go back to F1 2010. Hope that there is a fix.

 

[astarot]

Hi guys

I have couple of quastions about controllers. I have Logitech Rumble Pad 2 and I can't see it on the list but the file called Logitech ruble pad 2 is inside the actionmap folder in the game so I don't know if it's really suported or not? One more thing when I'm in the game I can't ajust all of the settings like all advanced wheel settings and wheel weight is it cuz' my pad is not suported or cuz' it's pad not a wheel? Is there any way to ajust all of the settings with my ruble pad 2?

I dont use the PC but did read somewhere something about starting the game by using the wheel button rather than the keyboard and this way the settings are retained.

Might be worth a search on the forum as I am sure it was here I read it.

 

[MARSALA]

Thanks Alot for the info, Peter
Cheers

 

[Georgios Apostolopoulos]

Will i have any problems with DFGT on PS3, is the wheel fully supported? Do you ever have for problems with this wheel?

 

[BasCHC]

Hey guys I have f1 2011 but I want to race with 2 steering wheels in multiplayer split screen (pc). But I can race with a Xbox360 controller for pc but I can't race with two wheels because you must push on the start button but there isn't a start button on my wheels! HELP!

 

[Andrew Pienaar]
