Man, this game and my G27 is what is going to teach me to use paddles. I am so clueless about them. My thing is that I'm soooo forgetful. When I drive a stick, I periodically check to see what gear I'm in because I don't hear the pitch of the engine very well. When I start trying to use paddles, I get so confused.
But just like anything else, I'll take it as a challenge. Because I am determined to play all manual, most realistic settings, etc. And just enjoy the driving of the game. 👍

I'm sure i'll probably get faster with the shifter the more I play (I only recently got my G27... long after I'd completed the majority of Prologue) and I'd love to use it to learn how to drive stick in real life (everyone I know has an automatic) so that's for sure. But at the same time, most of my favorite cars have paddle shifters and I intend to use paddles even in cars that don't naturally have them.

I've never ever used a wheel in my life and I currently have a G25/Wheelstand Pro sitting next to me ready to go.Man, this game and my G27 is what is going to teach me to use paddles.

Obviously I cannot wait to play GT5 but im also really looking forward to the challenge of using a wheel.

what about dynamic weather? Is there in this event
or we can choose only sunny or rain?
soo.. in GT5 can we play with dynamic weather?
I hope.. but i don't think.. i'm very disappointed about this.

It's literally impossible. Your paddles aren't where they should be for instance if the steering wheel is turned 180degree's so you would be down-shifting when you want to up-shift, on top of this when you turn much more then 90degree's you have to take your hands out of the 10 and 2 positions.

Thats how you drive a production car, and it's not impossible because I can do it, maybe you should have said it's impossible for me. Remember when you change gear with a flappy paddle you only need to take one hand of the wheel at a time
Got to get good at letting the wheel slip through your hand. Search vids of top gear on you tube and see what Clarkson is doing with the wheel when he is getting sideways with those super cars.

Be prepared for massive frustration to start with mate. It'll probably take you a few laps to even get round without running of track and lots of practice to get near your pad laptimes. Stick with it though becasue it's immeasurably more fun and actully quicker once you get the hang of it. And be prepared for an epiphany when you realise just how much of a difference ffb makes. Good luck, practice and don't give up.

Im sure your right mate. I said to my friends the other day that im determined to master the wheel after spending £200. I did say to them though that I won't be hotlapping straight away. Im hoping playing GT5 offline will help me master the wheel.
Someone once said to me that to master the wheel and be competitive on the time trials will take at least 3months if not longer!

3 months sounds about right to me. There's a few guys I play Forza with who have bought a wheel recently in anticipation of GT5 and they are all struggling. After so many years of using the pad and getting to a high standard they are finding it hard to accept being slow with the wheel!! One guy has even given up and gone back to the pad which is a real shame. My one bit of advice would be, don't even think about trying the pad. I reckon the best way to learn a wheel is to get a new game and start from scratch with the wheel, don't even entertain the pad and you will get there a lot quicker. Actually makes me smile thinking about how good a time your going to have with that wheel.

Well I certainly have alot of patience. Yesterday I was hotlapping in the time trials around Kaido on FM3 and that really tested my patience. Determined to break the 8min barrier lol, currently have 8.03!
Yes I agree giving up and using the pad is the worst thing I could do. My main dilemma is do I try and master everything i.e clutch, stick or do I keep it simple at first and just use the paddles without clutch?
P.S love to have you on my friends list when we do eventually play online. My PSN is BRC-IVORBIGUN.

Will add you when I'm next on 👍
As for using everything from the off. Bit of a double edged sword. Some would say it's better to jump in at the deepend and go full on straight away. Personally I would say stick to the basics first and then add to your armoury when you feel ready.

i would agree with the latter half of your post. baby steps coming into the wheel is alot better, simply because its multiple tasks when using a wheel, clutch and h shifter.
first focus on getting yourself good with the wheel on automatic gears, so then you know what amount to steer, when it loses grip (and the feeling associated) etc. then id say have a go at going manual, if possible without the clutch. This way you can get a feel for the gears, when downshifts should be happening on track (such things as boards or landmarks by the tracks help me with braking/downshifting).
THEN have a go at both with the clutch. hopefully you will master it and have a good time
ive done this on live for speed and needless to say, heel-toe downshifting, drifting etc become AWESOME
