at the begging was that the bioshock intro??

[poiopupful]

@mupp33n, maybe they don't wanna see 2 steering wheels. Idk lol

[1981z28camaro]

lol, so I don't get it, you get a Playseat, and a G25 (I'm assuming it's so you can have a more realistic experience, and be more immersed), and then you play with the above car cam...lol, just never makes sense to me when I see people do this.

[mupp33n]

Why would you use third person camera when using a wheel? Doesnt make any sense.

[1981z28camaro]

@mupp33n lol, yeah I just made pretty much the same comment, doesn't make any sense to me.

[iamasupersaiyan]

good shit why get this wheel if ur not gonna use the shift stick....thats the whole point.

[CoMMenDaToR]

How to connet/configure the wheel (G25) with the game (Dirt2) cause I've got them and i couldn't configure the wheel :S

Thnks and nice vid dude!

[Revilo118]

@CoMMenDaToR When you say configure do you mean adjust the settings? If so, I think there is Wheel options in the options menu of Dirt 2 ;) But I keep it all on the default settings (apart from changing automatic to manual sequential).

Let me know if you need any other help with the G25 or Dirt 2 ;)

[CoMMenDaToR]

Well, i mean the setup, cause i connect the wheel to the PS3 and i can't play with it, only with gamepad :(

[Revilo118]

@CoMMenDaToR Hmm, I havn't been on mine for a while now so I can't remember if I had to set anything iside dirt to use the wheel, but I don't think i did.

Just make sure that no controllers are connected when you plug in the wheel, this should make it register as controller/player 1. When you plug it in it should calibrate and it should also do this when you launch a game.

Let me know if this solves it and I am sorry I can't be of more help to you ;)

[iamasupersaiyan]

get a hammer and hit it till it works :D thats how i made mine work and its awesome now...

[vi3tsk8ter]

wow sick driving dude i play with my controller and can't even be this good

[Revilo118]

Thanks very much! ;)

[Krzaku14]

Automatic gearbox ???? :|

[Revilo118]

No, I am racing in manual by using the shifters on the sides of the steering wheel ;)

[BedfordMarcus]

I have the Playseat A1GP + G25 and I am soon getting a ps3 and dirt which will be fantastic!

[LAwrx03]

Not bad...how about playing in cockpit view so its challenging? Who buys a Playseat and a G25 to play racing games in third person lol

[Revilo118]

Yeah well I only do it in 3rd person in Dirt 2 cos in cockpit view it seems to ubstruct too much of the screen, but I do do it in GT5P ;)

[linty912]

I hear ya... in cockpit view is SWEET with a controller. When I'm using my G25 I go with the hood/bonnet view... u should try it.

Sick skills btw!

oh yeah, what settings do u use on ur G25?

[Revilo118]

All defualt I think ;)

[DramaticPrairieDog]

Whats the cheapest price you can get a g25? im only seeing £100+

[Revilo118]

£100+ sounds about right I'm afraid. But you could always try eBay is you want it cheaper. But for either price its worth it compared to cheaper wheels ;)

[DramaticPrairieDog]

Ahh nuts! Thanks for the advise! +1 sub

[MrGinnipe]

That corner where you used the flashback you went through it way too slow, hit the E-Brake and slide a bit, its helps alot.

[DrR1pper]

Nah, dont use the E-Brake, and dont use any sort of brakes. Use the gears to slow your car down and kick the car into a drift. For tight corners, in high speed & high gear, setup the corner by slamming down to 1st gear and release the accelerator whilst starting a turn. But don't let the speed drop too low (you can guess) and raise straight up to 2nd gear to keep the speed up throughout the turn. Constantly power through but don't torque or no grip - get a feeling. Trust me on this!

[evilfaces]

I ordered my G25 yesterday, hope it will be here this week. Going to buy DiRT 2 this week too :p

[Revilo118]

Nice one! If you have a PS3 I would definitely recommend getting GT5P and then GT5 when it comes out, they are great to use with the shifter ;)

[evilfaces]

I already have GT5P & completed it :P

Got DiRT 2 yesterday and it's really awesome :O

Hope my G25 will get here tomorrow :)

PS: What's your username so I can add you as friend on PS3? :D

[Revilo118]

Revilo118  ;)

[kamleshj99]

that was great drivin mate.. totally awsome.. great setup.. i m totally lookin forward to gettin mine soon...

[Revilo118]

Thanks alot! :D

[Revilo118]

The wheel on a whole is amazing, probably one of the best you can get. The stick shift is alright. Its very easy to change gear (which can be a good or bad thing, depends what you prefer) and it does make a clicking noise also. But there are mods to get rid of these problems which involve taking apart the gear stick.

An alternative (if you can afford it) is the new G27 which is the improved version of the G25.

But if you are looking for a steering wheel I would highly recommend the g25 ;)

[Revilo118]

thanks :)
