Unfortunately I am not able to discuss next-generation consoles at this time.
I just tested the 918 wheel for you Melbourne Park, and I can't find anything unusual about the way it works on GT Sport. The inputs are exactly the same as the 'standard' P1 wheel from the CSL Elite Racing Wheel for PS4. Due to the different physical layout of the buttons, some inputs are in different positions, but they are all there. In fact, there is even an additional input: the analogue stick works for looking around the cockpit, which is not possible on the standard wheel, which certainly counters your suggestion that the 918 wheel is 'not recognised'.
In terms of selecting 'OK' in the pit stops, you can either hit the centre button of the FunkySwitch, or you can hit the button that is hardcoded to 'X'. Using the 'X' button rather than the centre FunkySwitch button is probably the better choice for a pit stop. The PS4 button layout is shown in the Quick Guide that comes with the wheel (also available in PDF on our site). You should be able to reassign buttons in just the same way as the P1 wheel. It seems the only thing you're missing is a graphical representation of the Porsche wheel in the game, but I can't think of any game that has this feature.
The codes are only assigned to specific accounts who have placed pre-orders. It is not possible to use these codes on any other account.
Thanks I will read the guide. I have not been able to understand how to re-assign buttons or the left wand inputs/functions. And some buttons appear to do nothing.
I knew the left wand allowed sideways and mirror views. But I would like to be able to alter the traction control with two button functions - one button to increasing traction control, one button to decrease it. Right now, the only way I can access traction control, is to use the right hand wand. By going through several different parameter choices. The right hand wand controls various inputs - such as a radar, fuel/power if its enabled, traction control, brake balance, lap sector times.
If I could get the left hand wand to duplicate the right hand wand, that would solve all my problems. Can you tell me how I can get the left hand wand to behave just the same as the right hand wand? Or to setup two buttons to add or subtract traction control?
And I have not been able to change button functions on the Elite wheel graphics in the game - the wheel is substantially different in layout.
Incidentally the wheel has been changing as Gran Turismo upgrades. For instance, the lights initially did not come on (although I don't look at them much at all probably because they did not work when I first used the wheel). Also two upgrades ago, the magnets in the wheel started working, which was a big upgrade - I could feel the track through the wheel - awesome. And then after this track, I can feel the brakes through the wheel. I have not noticed that before but now if I am stationary and I push the brakes, when they approach hard braking the wheel vibrates - full braking and the vibration is stronger. Its an awesome upgrade as I don't have to look at the braking indicator in the game to know if I am on the border of maximum braking. Unfortunately my V3 brakes don't vibrate though in GT Sport, neither the brake pedal or the3 accelerator/throttle pedal, but the wheel does now feed back vibrations.
I think Gran Turismo should show the device and its buttons and controls in the Controller input section. Is that too much to ask for? There are several wheels from other brands shown in those graphics, and many different controllers shown there. It should be intuitive to personalise a wheel's controls. Its not at the moment IMO.
Thanks for your reply too, much appreciated. And the Porsche wheel is fabulous ignoring all its vibrations abilities - its the perfect size and the quality feel is real. I have not noticed any less torque either despite its extra weight relative to the Elite wheel. The grip quality is fabulous and has shown no wear whatsoever.
The pass will be "One friend told me..."
