Is the feeling thorugh the wheel the same in GT4 using the G25 with the PS3?

I just seem to remember the forces being greater with the DFP on the PS2!

The deadzone for the Force Feedback seems greater using the G25 on the PS3 also.

What do you guys think?
 
Although I have never experienced the DFP with gt4, I would definitely expect that the g25 be stronger. I'll check with my friends when I get the chance.
 
how old is your G25? If its old that may be the problem. If its new, then ive heard many reports about this problem. Its probably because your using gt4 on a different system.
 
Guys I can't get the game to recognise my wheel in any area other than the options menu (that is the only place any of the buttons or pedals do anything)

What plug do I have to have the G25 in, what do I assign my hand held controller to etc?...

Please help I'm looking forward to getting into GT4 for the first tiem on my wheel!
 
G25 in combination with GT4?

Disconnect any USB device other than your G25. In my case, the G25 doesn't work if I connect a USB mouse.

Be sure that your wheel is plugged into port #1.
 
I'm having a similar problem. When I turn on the PS3 and start it up with only the wheel plugged in, I cannot do anything. When I add a controller (it registers as number two) I can go in the menu and add the wheel, which will then work to navigate the wheel menu, but as soon as I exit the options the wheel won't work for menus, and starting the race with a controller won't work either.
I'm new to GT with GT5prologue, and purchased gt4 to try out some more cars/tracks. PLEASE HELP!!!!
thx
 
Try this for your G25 wheel with your PS3 and GT4:




Buttons for the G25 wheel and PS3

Top 4 The Black ones
Top-triangle-cancel-reverse(gear to back car up)
Left-square-cancel
Right-circle-E_brake
Bottom-X-enter You can also use the gas pedal for enter

Bottom 4 buttons The Red ones
Far left-no function
Second button-Change view
Third button-Pause-quick exit replay at the end of race-This button will also speed up the winnings (to keep from waiting with the cup spinning around so you can get back to racing)
Fourth button-best race line for license test

Buttons on wheel

Left-look back (default)
Right-nitro (default)
I change these two buttons around myself so I have the nitro on the left.

D-pad-same as the controller up,down,left,right. For menue use.
Also for (during race)
Look back-bottom pad
Look left-left pad
Look right-right pad

To change any of the button functions use the DFP settings in the options menue.
I have not used the wheel in photo mode. The only thing you can't do with the wheel is "exit" game. I also never have my controller on during gameplay I only turn it on to exit the game. If anyone needs anymore help with this wheel give me a shout-back and I'll try my best to help.
One last thing make sure your wheel is in the far left port(port 1) or port 3

Hope this is helpful,

When I start up the ps3, I hve only the g25 plugged in. I can navigate the PS3 menu and start gt4, but when the game starts up, the wheel will not navigate menus. I can start up another controller and go into the options, click on DFP and navigate in that menu with the wheel, as soon as I back out of the options menu, the wheel doesn't work again. I have tried the 1st and 3rd slot for the wheel. I have also tried turning off the controller after turning on the wheel in options menu. I'm thinking I'm stuck with GT5:P only...just wanted to try a few more tracks/cars.
 
ok i have a problem with the PS3 G25 and GT4. Before all these updates I could play GT4 using my G25 and the gated shifter, worked fine. Now it doesn't work at all, completely strange to me. I'm upset because I can't shift using those paddle shifters, they are annoying to use and are just plain too light. Anyone else have this issue with the G25 and GT4 using the gated shifter? I need help so i can return to my Nurburgring and shift to my hearts content, too bad the clutch never worked though.

What do you guys think?

I have my G25 for 1.5 years.. So I think I have the OLDER wheel. Yes, I noticed feedback being WEAKER on PS3 then with DFP with GT4.

Same with GT5. I always play with FFB strength 10, many people say G25 and GT5P is too strong, for me its too weak. Depending what G25 wheel you have, older or new.. etc..

Yeah deadzone with G25 is common as well with GT4. I think its the wheel itself.

So yeah its weaker with G25 over DFP with both GT4 and GT5P.

From my experiments with GT4 and G25, i think G25 is only using one of the motors when it is emulating DFP. Same is with enthusia etc.

I find that GT4 on the PS3 with G25 results in a weaker FFB than i you were to play GT4 on the PS2 with the same wheel. Which is the reason I only play GT4 on the PS2.
 
I have 2 questions, sorry for putting it here but it is the newest topic on G25 and if I buy it I would definitely like t go back to GT4 with it.

The questions are:

Is the cord connecting H-shifter with wheel long or all the cockpits are done with some cord changing? I mean is it possible to put H-shifter in its natural, normal car position, somewhere down on the right, not right next to wheel - I do not like that near the wheel position at all, and yes, I know it is slower that way but for me 100times more fun...

The other question is - are there any other, much cheaper wheels than G25 but with clutch ?
