Hey guys,
Some questions for those of you who have this installed please:
Wheel Support
I run the Fanatec CSW v2 and CSPv2's. Do they work with is game?
If they do indeed work, how's the FFB compared to say DiRT Rally?
'Realism'
Yes I know this is obviously all subjective but still...
I'm personally more of a hardened sim man myself (I like to basically get as close to real life as I can) but I also don't mind the odd simcade from time to time. For me DiRT Rally is pretty damn good but I would be interested in WRC 5, even if its a bit less of a sim than say DiRT, purely because of the official cars/locations contained in the game. So, my question to you all is how much towards sim is this title? Would you say its close enough to DiRT Rally that its ok or is it too far towards arcade that id never get enjoyment out of it knowing DR is installed and I can play that instead?
Stages
Another biggie for me. How long are the stages and how many do you get per event? Basically, if I do a rally at say England for example, am I looking at 18 stages over 200km and it takes me 8 hours total or is it 5 stages over 20km and takes about 12 minutes?
General opinions
For me, I don't care about career, presentation or little vides of cheering fans and drivers celebrating. All I'm interested in is racing a season or events in my car / class of choice. The important things for me are the physics, FFB, stage quality (and length) and that's about it. How do you guys think it does in these departments??
Thanks fella's, appreciate anything you guys can offer in terms of advice and feedback... I really want this to be worth having but for some reason I've a feeling it doesn't look all that great....
Cheers!

Okay bud, I honestly didn't write a detailed review because there nothing more to say than its the worst game i have ever playe.
Wheel support
Can't say anything about it because i had my Thrustmaster wired to my PS4 and it didn't let me customize the controls, and i could assign both paddles and i tried my old momo which works on every game and on both PS consoles and he game didn't pick it up.
Realism:
It didn't even manage to be a fun arcade and there is no such thing as comparing it to dirt.
Dirt rally is on a whole other planet, WRC 5 is a low budget product done by bad programmes just for fun.
Yes i understand me only saying bad things about it could mean that I'm taking aside and just pushing around but that is not the case, as you can go on youtube and see people playing it.
So for realism and physics the game is not delivering, everything feel bad, and for FFB, well there is none, only kicks in when you are out of track, i swear im not kidding.
Stages:
Same as the previous wrc games, one long stage per country and you play portions of it, and same portions backwards until you drive the whole long stage,
and the there a couple of special stages. you drive on the same stage over and over again, i don't why but they did it like that.(to be fair, you drive on day time than on the same exact stage on dusk, then night)
My own opinion
Straight forward no BS or what ever, hands down this THE worst game i have ever played.
nothing feels good or right about it. cars feels like boats not in a good way, at least my boat slides all over the place. the codriver voice is borrowed from a sega rally game and don't make any sense, and you will feel sick by the audio (cars, external voices, codriver...etc)
FPS on PS3 10 to 15 at best in most stages.
FPS on PS4 25 at best
Physics, well you have no feeling od the car or where the wheels are pointing apart from correcting everything visually, i give the physics 1/10 and i don't think only 1 gives it justice.
Okay ill stop now and the only thing i can say is
Don't buy it. and be careful.
