Radical is a ridiculously light car...that much power can easily make it get away from you...

My lap wasn't terrific, but I set it on the second lap, so that I'd have a full speed start. Meaning to catch it, you're gonna waste 8 minutes

Ran a quick lap when I got home and was able to drop 15 seconds off or so. I wish I actually had the 'ring memorized - I never had any GT game til GT5 and even then I didnt play the ring that much lol. Nor do I obsess over it on the tube of you's.

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 think that someone commented on it earlier in this thread. I'd imagine your arms might get tired since you hold it up to drive.

Frankly, without a actual mounted wheel, the regular controller is a pretty good option. The triggers work well for gas and brake -- much better than the PS3 controller works for GT5.

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 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.

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...).

Zaggeron · 10-26-2011, 08:43 PM

Bobo, does it have an xbox guide button. If so, you don't event need to remove the batteries. Just hold the button until the menu to "turn off console: turn off controller" option comes up. The game works fine when switching controllers

Ive tried switching controllers multiple times by shutting it off that way. It simply doesnt recognize the other controller...

Zaggeron · 10-26-2011, 09:09 PM

^^ weird. I've used that method to switch between the wheel and controller to go through autovista mode ...

Mike · 11-09-2011, 07:04 PM

OK, someone 'splain something to me.

I just bought an XBOX and Forza tonight, no wheel yet. I've been playing with it, and on both easy and medium levels, its applying brakes on its own and even giving a little steering input on its own.

Specifically, its braking on me going into turn 10a at Road Atlanta coming down the hill, a little earlier than where I want to.

How can I turn the driving assistance off?

there is an option for driving assists. in the race menu, or in the main menu
