it does support G25, you must use combined pedals and just hold the clutch half way when assigning controls.

After trying the full version and managed to get my DFGT working with it (Thanks N0body Of The Goat!), I must say it is not worth even free downloading it. The physics are arcady, graphics are blurry and muddy, sounds are crap, controls too, FFB is ridiculous and the game totally misses the “fun factor”.. What a waste..

No cockpit and trouble with wheel(s) support are the least of this game problems.
As I mentioned, the physics are totally useless (CMR DiRT is a sim compared to this) but also the content is pretty much worthless, the only licensed cars are BMWs, Audi and Jaguar, the rest are masked-off fantasy makes (so far I reckognized Mercedes C, Cadillac CTS (CTS-V?) and Chrysler 300C).

yeah, first guy Ive known to have a period.
Its hardly a cheat code either. Novel has 1 ‘l’ too btw. 2 ‘l’s make it an operating system.

NOTGoat: Good info man. Doesnt help us G25 users of course but Im sure you’ve made some people happy.

Its a shame really as the game really looks not to be worth it.
Its just a straight console port-over. No attention given to PC users at all. I`ll bet this thing runs on all the gamepads going.

No cockpit mode ? Another typical console trait. (NFS:S will kick that tradition up the ass)

No cockpits or steering wheel support. LOL. Someone’s in it for the money only. No passion at all.
Makes you wonder if the big companies really ought to be tackling this genre.

maxs: … and one more thing buy a revolver and shoot all the game producers , forgive but this is BULLSHIT

If you think the game is pants, that's all well and good, nobody can tell you what your opinion is on any given subject. However, to quote my entire post and write what you did implies that I was lying about getting the demo to work with my Driving Force Pro. When I first tried the demo this morning, I could not get the wheel to work in any shape or form. When I had another quick attempt and changed a few things, I got it working absolutely fine with my wheel...

N0body Of The Goat: Update: THE DEMO DOES WORK WITH THE DFP WHEEL… In logitech profiler global options: Set wheel into combined pedals mode; set wheel lock degrees to less than 540 degrees; perhaps enable centring spring; perhaps add damper and spring effects As the demo starts up, press the “X” (or was it the “O” button?) on the wheel, in order to move the intro on, instead of using your keyboard. Then go into options> controllers (using POV switch on wheel)and change control mode to “joystick” from default “keyboard.” Use the POV switch on your wheel to moe the highlighter; use “O” on the wheel to configure an action; “/_\” on wheel to cancel/go back ;)

Actually this is still much better than same company’s earlier “Alfa Romeo”-game.

If that matters anything…

Works really well with my Frex Wheel and CST pedals !!!.
Love the graphics and physics.
Dont know what you lot are complaining about

Seriously though…..i did download this on my Xbox, gave it about 5 mins. I am sure a few of the 360 crowd will get suckered into buying this though.

Sensekhmet:
Guys, if you want to play a fun arcade racer, try Ferrari Virtual Race (free) or better yet Sega Rally Ravo (really cheap!). Refreshingly simple games not pretending to be sims, arcade in purest form but with handling that actually makes sense. Trust me, Sega Rally with its mind-blowing, kilometer-long slides and deforming road surface is simply fun if you approach it with an open mind and adjust your expectations. A little guilty pleasure of mine

i think Ferrari Virtual Race is more Sim than arcade watch this, there are also settings in options arcadish/sim :

Ha ha ! WHAT A TURD !!!!
Lets you enable force feedack,but gives you no option for steering wheel ?
DFP doesn’t even register in the game
Someone has really dropped a Bol**ck on this one
Lets release a demo to promote our shiney new game,but all it does is highlight that its utter crap even with ’simulation’ settings selected
Whats that all about ?

Very weird situation, if you think that Milestone was one of the better production houses in the past. Tough the same thing is happening to other companies. Its like a fast food industry. Just have a quick go at some money. God bless the mod scene ( and iRacing ;-)

Little disappointed with the demo… Despite claiming to support the Driving Force Pro wheel, I’m unable to configure it in the options!

Graphically, it looks quite nice.

The demo track looks quite a nice layout, with a few elevation changes (why is there such a high tendancy for new tracks to be so flat and bland).

Nice to see some track cutting detection (five seconds without full throttle if I recall rightly).
