Driving Force Pro vs. the G25

[ropeadope]

I've been wondering how these wheel compare, and how one is different from the others. Instead of using the search function and looking all night, hopefully someone will be kind enough just to give me a summary of the differences and such. Also wondering which is bigger?

One of the most disappointing things about these wheels (as far as I know) is that they are limited to the PS2,PS3(maybe not even that?), and the PC. I, like everyone else, don't want to buy a different wheel for every other console. Isn't there a way to make a universal wheel that's compatible with almost everything? (Xbox/360/wii maybe). Thanks in advance for any info.

ACT Labs tried a cartridge system with their now-discontinued Force RS, which gave it compatibility with any system popular enough to warrant a cartridge.

Theoretically, the DFP/G25 can be supported by anything with a USB port. I know the Wii satisfies that requirement, and I think the 360 does too. It's just up to the software developers to program a game that supports the wheel (I may be wrong).

ye when you plug it into the 360 it poers up and calibrates, bit noe games support it so far(that i know of), but it is confirmed to workon the ps3...

I don't know if this is possible, but if so, I could see Microsoft not allowing developers to use usb wheels seeing as how they have a first party force feedback wheel for the 360.

Thanks for the info. I'm still curious how the two wheels compare to one another though. See OP.

the g25 turns about 3-4 times faster, becouse of it's dual moters(the dfp only has 1) it also turns a lot smoother and quiter. The workmanship and materials in the g25 are oustanding as well and the brushed metal on the h-gate, wheel and pedals is a very nice touch, and makes the wheels feels very robust and sturdy. the brake pedal has a very nice, and very firm feel to it. The clutch and accelerater arn't as stiff and each have there own individual feel. the only thing i can fault the g25 for, is the fact that(on myn anyway) the paddles on the back of the wheel are pretty sharp and i have got a scar in my index finger from were it got sliced oneday. but i thik this might have just been myn, as it was only a small section and only on one of the padels, so i think it may have been missed by the sander? i don't know. The g25's wheel and pedals are ALOT better then the DFP's and it even has an h-gate and clutch on top of the dfp aswell, just to seal the deal.

hope that helps.
