Well I always had issues with the controller with GT4, maybe it was because of the massive dead spot or input smoothing, but it's really hard to hold a car on the high speed banked oval turns, or keep a RUF steady, or stop fish tailing around when you try to correct an oversteer or drift.
Now I finally got around to really playing GT4 with a DFGT wheel for a fair bit, and at first I thought the feedback was not so good.
But the car control was superb. Somehow the physics seem to act differently with the wheel. I was able to finally pull off controlled drifts in stock cars with N2 tyres! 👍
Some of tracks I tried at first, it didn't seem that great feedback wise. But when I did the High speed ring it felt great, and the rally tracks. You can feel all the bumps and stuff.
I went onto the Le Man track with the Nissan LMP for the Internationl A license test 16 - holy crap, talk about mega bumps and unstable feeling flying down that long straight at over 370+kph!!!!
Damn the wheel was tugging all over the place - iRacing eat your heart out
Car control on the Nurburging is so sweet. It feels somewhat bumpy with the DFGT. It finally made all the license tests on the Ring a lot less stressful and I can finally have some fun on it!
Just stay off those high curbs the Ring has, it'll send you out of control real quick! The physics are not too shabby in GT4, with a wheel. A lot better than I used to think...
You can really feel a big difference between all the cars now. RR RUFs are a handful, but the left foot braking you can do with the wheel helps keep it stable. 4WD drive and FWD understeer. MR feel sublime and balanced. FR somewhere inbetween
So much more immersive with a wheel vs the controller - highly recommended 👍
