Not sure whether to get V Rally 4 or not. I loved the old previous iteration, but if this version is like WRC7 as some say, I'll just play WRC7.
For some reason or another, I can't find any reviews of the game.
Sooo....Nobody on PS4 console or Xbox played this game with a Logitech G29 wheel or similar?PS4 user with Logitech G29 wheel here.
A bit confused. I've downloaded and installed the game on my PS4 console. I use a Logitech G29 wheel for racing.
My wheel being always connected, upon PS4 powering up the wheel does its usual initialising rotating left and right. The "Welcome Back to PlayStation"....."Press the PS button to use the controller" screen appears. I press the PS button on the wheel as usual. The "Controller connected.....Who is using this controller?" screen next appears as usual. I click my user name (again as usual) and the Playstation Home screen appears with all the games in a row. So far so good.
I next navigate to the V-Rally 4 game with the wheel's directional button and click on "X" button to start the game. The game loads with intro . A "Press the OPTIONS button" screen appears". Now here is where I get stuck.
----->When I press the "OPTIONS" button on my G29 wheel to proceed there is no response. The button press does nothing.
In order to continue from that screen I have to power on my Playstation DS hand controller and select user. Then with the DS controller I'm able to activate the OPTIONS button on the controller which will load the next screen to proceed. Again only the buttons on the DS controller are able to activate "X" to start/continue or whatever. The buttons and whatever else on the wheel remain inactive, unable to use.
I don't want to play with the DS controller but I want to do so with my G29 wheel. So I'm stumped. What gives?
Why am I not able to use my wheel so far? Isn't the G29 wheel supported or is there something I'm missing in the process?
Can someone shed some light please? Help.
Yes, it is possible to remap the steering to the d-pad (tested on PS4)So to someone who has the game, could you please check to see if it is possible to remap the controller to use the d-pad to steer?
Many thanks in advance.

I tested the setup with Logitech G29 and PS4 yesterday and the experience was awful. The steering has lag and feels like the force feedback is not working at all. I don't know how to describe this properly. But you can turn the wheel with no force, then the car reacts a bit later and when it reacts you feel a bit of resistance in the wheel. This has to be fixed with a patch! Otherwise it's useless. No fun at all.
The standard setting is 540 degrees and the wheel locks at that point.
And yes, same as in WRC 6 to use the wheel you have to boot the game with the controller and go into options to select the wheel as input. Annoying. But if the feeling of the wheel doesn't change I won't use it anyways.
At last someone answered. Thank you so much Spawn. I really appreciate this so much. I been waiting and waiting and waiting. Not even a reply from their Facebook forum.@davidt33

Now went back to check Pfei and yes you did give a similar advice:
Don't know why it didn't sink in then though it should have. I think perhaps when Spawn reiterated what to do from his actual experience with his G29 having played the game it further sinked in and cleared things up in my mind.@davidt33 WRC7 required both the wheel and the controller to be on at the same time. Turn on both devices and try booting the game with the wheel and leave the controller on. If that doesn't work see if you might have to force the wheel in the input options in the menu. Disclaimer: I don't have V-Rally 4 but it might work.

About turning on both wheel and controller to start with I did so but sometime later on during the game I got a message "Controller Disconnected" and couldn't use my wheel anymore (I think it's when the controller automatically turned off after a specific time).
Next time I'll keep in mind once controller and wheel are activated I'll press on the wheel's "X" button to continue as you advise.
I do have the option for controller set for "Wheel" so thought it would have remained as my main controller, always active.
Do you think I always have to have the controller turned on to start up the game though? I still think that's kind of wierd as I never have to do so with other similar games like Pcars 2 and GTsport once the wheel is connected and set as chosen controller.
Sure is weird in true. Especially now years later. Hope they change that.Yeah, that's the weird thing with Kylotonn games. You have to turn off the energy saving on the DS4 because if it turns off during play then your wheel stops working. When I play WRC 7 I leave the DS4 plugged in with the USB. What else can we do?
Sure it's not the Ultimate version you're referring to for $71.99?Digital version is crazy overpriced on XB1. $71.99 for standard game and $30 for a season pass consisting of 4 cars. Was looking forward to trying it out, but not until those numbers come down.

That's the version I bought for $71.99 and it included the Season Pass. That was via Pre-order about 1 or 2 days before release though.
Just now double-checked. Apparently the Ultimate version is now $79.99 on the Playstation Store. (US).
Also H-shifter is not supported.
Well after some research I guess some of these classic Rally cars have been retrofitted with sequential transmissions, so not having an H pattern isn’t totally unacceptable.
This guy is my hero.
