Forza 4 Thread

I just received it today for my birthday. I have been using the standard controller since Forza came out but noticed Microsoft has a U shaped wheel controller now. Anyone use it? Is it worth the money?

I use it, and I like it. Its not as good as my G27 is for iRacing, but it suffices since I dont have a cockpit downstairs.

But, fair warning: it doesnt have bumper buttons at ALL, and there are menu options that need it (like freaking tuning...). So, to tune, you need to literally exit the game, switch to your XBox controller, and then go back in. Tune, exit, switch to wheel, go back in.

I blame Microsoft for this dumb idea of not being able to use 2 controllers at the same time...

I have that problem with the MS wheel so I just pull the plug on the wheel and switch to the controller and vice-versa to change back. You should be able to switch between the two without exiting by just pulling the batteries out of one and powering up the other controller.

I completely agree. I honestly dont know why they didnt add a way to simply switch controllers (or at least make the game not require those buttons when the wheel is active...).

I haven't tried it but from what my friend says, it is slightly better than using the controller stick and like using Kinect only much more accurate. But based on my Kinect driving experience (admittedly, I have a small living room that's not ideal for it anyways), it doesn't take much to be more accurate than Kinect.
