I've heard you mention this a few times. What pedals did you buy?
BTW - Do you have GT4 yet?
nope, i don't have GT4 yet.... the guy that was supposed to get it for me still hasn't gotten it.. he says next week... if GT4 is announced by then in the US with a close by release date i'll tell him to sell it to somebody else, he has made me wait too long, and i'll get the US version instead (along with a new PS2).
the pedals i got are the ECCI pedals, they cost about 440 bucks or so with shipping (shiping is expensive because of the weight about 40 bucks) and pressure brake pedal (makes the brake pedal feel a lot more realistic.)
they are worth evry penny and will last a life time, but it's defenetly a heafty investment, wich in my case i was willing to make because if i'm gonna spend so much time playing racing games, (i use the wheel on the PC also) then i figure i'll make my time worth it by having the best posible experience, and trust me, they make a huge difference. they feel like real car pedals.. in fact, they make my real car pedals seem cheap, very cheap.
you have two alternatives, you can either get those pedals, or get the FREX pedals, both are the best pedals you can get, both cost about the same, only the look is different.
the FREX pedals look exactly like the pedals you'll find in some supercars, they look like McLaren F1 pedals (even the springs and metal behind the pedals) they look awsome.. the ECCI pedals on the other hand look like regular car pedals but more massive (when i mean regular, i mean regular sports / racing car pedals, they even have drill holes to make them look more genuine...)
the ECCI pedals are HEAVY and big, and just feel right, in the end i got the ECCI pedals because in the end i asked my self... wich cars will i drive the most in GT4 and other games? supercars? or more down to earth cars? when my friends and i get together for i-Link battles (soon to be LAN.. hopefully soon) we always pick regular cars more than super cars or heavily tuned cars. so that made up my mind... but you can't go wrong either way, both look amazing and both are built to last, the pots will probably give in after 5 years of heavy duty use (meaning, comercial, 12 hrs a day use.) so no worries there. but just in case i bought an aditional pair of pots for 18 bucks.
again, you can't go wrong either way, so check them out if you're instrested.

both pedals plug right into the DFP, just make sure you get the version for the DFP, they have pedals for other wheels, ECCI even has their own wheel wich doesn't work on the PS2 and costs about 1000 bucks, but people that have it swear by it, of course, only for PC games.
if you PC game a lot you can add a clutch (expensive add on, i still haven't bought it.). the clutch is great for PC games and plugs into a USB port to the PC, it looks completley genuine once you add a clutch, but since the game i'll play the most doesn't have clutch support. i saw no reason to get one yet... but if any of the PC games i'm waiting for turn out as good as i think they will, i might get it (mainly waiting to see how R-factor shapes up, looks very promising.)
anyway, give those things a look, and if you decide to get them, i can tell you, you won't regret it, even at that over the top price.
and I solved it by complaining to Logitech, result, they sent me a new GT force Pro and it works fine now, check more info on the Driving Force Pro thread 👍
