I havnt done much license tests.. i got the A and B as freebie since I transferred data so I've been racing in the beginners series and wiping that clean.

I did run the Nurburgring in the Amuse Togue Monster though in Arcade... so much fun!

also post some photomode sick pics of S2k!!!! and B6AudiS4 if u got em..
I've hated every wheel I've tried until the Logitech Pro. Always before they've felt like the force feedback was pretty different from how the feedback from the wheel on a real car is -- and I was never able to control drifts etc. And honestly the Logitech with GT3 was probably a 50 on your scale (whereas other wheels I'd tried were a 20). But with GT4 it's more like 80 (which is pretty damn good for a video game). I'm not sure what they did, but I can finally use the wheel intuitively rather than jerk it around, trying to get the car to do what I want. Definitely worth it.

And I definitely want to hear some S2k suspension settings from you all.

I'd also rate the wheel a solid 80.
The physics in this game are exceptional. (except for the AI which is pretty horrible) but overall it's a fantastic video game racing experience. The wheel is a must have IMO.

goddamned nurburging with that cursed MB 190e evo for the IB license

why the hell do i keep falling off the track at the 8 minute mark??? i must have ADHD or some shit because i cant seem to concentrate for that long!

i rally & snow tests w/ the wheel.. its simply amazing how you can control your drift with steering and throttle input.
wait untill you try the S licence, you got to drive the MB again at nurburgring. I kept on failing that one.

man.. this game is addicting.. for you broke people out there..

heres what im doin..

once you save enough to build and complete the amuse s2000, take it to the first japan championship... beat it.. not that hard.. then you win a touring 350z..

use that same 350 to b spec the series.. you can watch tv and do other things.. jus set the pace at 5 then you win $72,500 for the series, and you win another 350 that you can sell for $318,000

fun!

ps. a fully modified m3 really handles like crap compared to a fully modified S.. feels so heavy.. but sure looks pimp
