Wheel Compatibility

Post by Benson »

Hi all,

As a fan of all previous GT games i'm hopefully getting a ps3 in the coming weeks, however i was hoping to avoid shelling out too many hard earned for a G27 as well.

I have a Momo wheel which is fine with the PC/LFS but have heard conflicting reports on compatibility with PS3. Does anyone know if the momo will work in general but more specifically with GT5?

I have had a quick search on the forums & didn't really find any posts to help. If i've posted in the wrong place please direct me, any help appreciated.

In theory it should, but without someone testing one i wouldnt bank on it. If your looking for a cheaper alternative, there is always the DFGT

I have a MOMO but haven't bothered to test it. It would probably work, but my wheel doesn't work therefore my results would be biased!

(wheel the axis/buttons work but not the force feed back)

the momo wheel works on the ps3 but my pots in the pedals are stuffed so as long it is working fine, you should be able to use it

Saves some coin, but I forgot how small that wheel was... and ugly, lol.

DSE were doing the DFGT for $120. Advertised at $138 but my boss talked him down when he picked it up for me.

Does DSE sell the DFGT anymore? I can't find it on their website.

All the stores I've tried have sold out of the DFGT, i'm guessing it was a run out thing. Not a wheel big problem though, I'm sure others will starting selling it quite cheap soon too just like they did with the DFP

Give it a really good push to the floor once you're in the game to calibrate it then it should be fine - I had the same thing. :tilt:

Yep that works just tested it then. Need to setup the wheel as GT Force & you can use the paddles & top 2 rows of buttons.

Hey Mick - are you using the nixim mod still? Im only playing prologue (until next weekend) and I have removed the Bodnar box but left the nixim mod installed. Seems fine in prologue.

Yep dude - no Bodnar box but Nixim mod still in with the PS3. I need to give the brake pedal as hard a push as possible to calibrate it once i'm in game otherwise it's just super sensitive. It made for some crazy T1 action before I figured out what was going on!

I picked up the offical GT5 Logitech Driving Force GT on Saturday. The wheel itself feels good, but a somewhat cheap.

It's a weird wheel in the sense that it's not really an improvement over my old Momo but at the same time is. The pedals are pretty much the old Momo ones but revamped, the sequential shifter is fixed to the right side and not swapable. The buttons aren't very well placed either and it's easy to miss/press the wrong one when racing.

But, I like the wheel. The FFB is great and the 900 degree rotation is awesome to have. Whilst I'm happy with the wheel overall, it certainly shows why it is so cheap. If only the budget could stretch out to a G25 or G27! The main thing is I can now drive high powered machines and not chew tyres or take every turn with crazy power oversteer!

Oh, the brake adjustment feature is actually not to bad which lets you adjust traction control, torque split (4WD only of course), brake balance and ABS plus a few other features. Most of the adjustments only work in Arcade mode, but the important ones (Torque split, ABS and brake balance) can be adjusted in normal racing.

It's a little awkard at first but since most my brakes were pre-set for PS3 controller use, I found it a nice feature ot be able to adjust the balance on the move and the screen pop-up interface thingy is not intrusive at all and is well placed so as to not be hard to see or limit your view of the racing line.
