Right ok had a few hours now and I am actualy quicker with it now having passed some challenges easily that I was strugeling with on the pad in GT5p....Bonus! LOL
Right the wheel, It's the Logitec driving force EX costing £39.99 from Amazon. Now once again this is using the official 360 wheel as a benchmark as it's the only other FFB wheel I've had experience with. First up the build quality of the wheel is superb there is no play in the center spindle no creaks or groans from the plastics and all the buttons have a posertive feel to them, the pedals however are a mixed bag, they grip the carpet extremly well, in fact they never budged once! The pedal positions are very good and the force required to move them is well balanced, the acelerator however is a bit creaky which is a little worrying.
Ok onto how it behaves in game, as I said above my lap times have come down and the precision in which you can place your car on GT5p is much improved over the pad for me. The FFB is very quick to react and trying the different strengh settings it goes from arely noticable to "I cant keep hold of it" so a good range of feedback LOLTheres no noise from the unit that I could hear over the game and although it can feel a little "notchy" when putting in small imputs with the FFB turned up on the whole it's quite smooth (compared with the 360 one) It's a bit hard to get a real feel for all of it on GT as the tracks are prety smooth and FC....well more on that at the end LOL
Overall I's well built....very well built in fact, the ruberised grips are comfy and the clamps work well. You do get a more imersive feeling in GT5p with the wheel which allows you to push that little further in the cornersand I would rate this as an equal in performance although the range of FFB is greater and stronger than the £80 official 360 wheel but far supirior in build quality and at £40 thats really good going! Be aware though that the wheel diamiter is fairly samll and this isn't in compertion with the G25, it is however a good value well made wheel that may be a good option for people wanting to try FFB wheels.
Right anyway back to FC......what the......I can honestly say that max FFB is a bad thing, great if your after a workout but not conducife to winning a race! Theres so much feed back from the track your seen wresteling with the wheel to keep it straight! Should be fantastic once you can turn it down, and dare I say better than the smooth tracks of GT5p but until the patch lands then it's fairly unplayable....well with the EX anyway
So if you want to be sure it works for GT Series, it must be a logitech
