G29 back alive and me back on track
I did only 30min with pad and another 30min with wheel here, so there is maybe some more, but not too much, I guess.
After my (luckily) short transfer to pad and back to wheel my short list comparison is
1) counter steer: definitely easier with pad, by far. I was able to be much more aggressive on the throttle
2) medium fast corner: easier on pad, somehow the steering angle vs stick movement is filtered and speed dependent, and for this kind of turns it makes life easier
3) throttle: quite the same, I adapted quite quickly, even at tc0
4) steering precision: somehow connects with 2) that filtering sometimes helps, sometimes confuses me. So on the average turn wheel is much more trusty, not to mention force feedback
5) trail braking: I'm still a noob here even in wheel. In pad is really really hard to manage. Sure practice helps, but I would need ton of practice here
Additional bullet, and possibly by far the worst in pad lapping: man, after 30 min the back of left hand hurts a lot. Not the finger, the top of the hand! Don't know if it makes sense, but it is what happens to me.
So, even though gt7 is very enjoyable with pad, I'm glad the g29 is back with me
