I had a few worries about this before trying out the wheel since it sounded like I might actually rip the gears if I yanked it too hard (I'd assumed it simply applied a ton of force at 90 degrees to keep it from moving) but the wheel actually uses some sort of physical lock to keep it from rotating past the quarter-way mark on each side. In a game that doesn't support 900 degrees, the wheel locks itself at roughly 180 degrees, or 90 to each side, just like any other FF wheel on the market. Now, keep in mind that you only get 900 degrees in games that support it, the total of which I think you can count on one hand at the moment. While all of that is nice, the big deal though is the wheel's 900 degrees of motion. I would almost definitely use a six-way shifter just to add to the realism, however. I still prefer using the F1 shifters over the gearshift since it isn't really all that cool and it requires taking a hand off of the wheel. It would have been nice to have an actual six gear shift box, but there are some vehicles in GT4 (and other games as well) that have more than six gears so that probably wouldn't have worked well. Like the F1 shifters it's also sequential, meaning you pull it towards you once to shift up and push it away to shift down. In addition to the F1 shifters, there's also now a gearshift on the right side of the wheel. It's easier to shift down multiple gears very rapidly if necessary this way, and I happen to prefer this layout quite a bit over the old levers. Instead of being actual levers that required a reasonably large range of movement to change gears, the shifters more closely resemble buttons. The F1-style shifters behind the wheel are different as well. You can now grab the wheel anywhere during a race without accidentally changing views, hitting the emergency break or anything else. (Where are force feedback pedals? It would be great for the brakes) The wheel is physically right about the same size as Logitech's past products, but all of the buttons are now located in the center of the wheel and along the supports rather than on the actual wheel itself. The pedals are basically the same, for better or for worse. The design of the wheel and its button layout has changed a fair bit over Logitech's past GT Force and Driving Force wheels for PS2.
USED LOGITECH DRIVING FORCE GT UPGRADE
It's other major upgrade lies in its force feedback strength, which not only makes cars feel heavier and more powerful but also allows for greater subtlety. The wheel's major selling point is its 900 degrees of rotation, with force feedback all the way around, for supported games.
USED LOGITECH DRIVING FORCE GT PRO
The Driving Force Pro is a force feedback steering wheel designed for PlayStation 2, but since it uses a USB connection you can hook it up to a PC and enjoy racing bliss there as well. Luckily for all GT fans the game is finally upon us which means that the Driving Force Pro can finally be paired with its soul mate. The Driving Force Pro was originally intended to launch day and date with the game, just like the GT Force and GT3 did, but unfortunately Gran Turismo 4 was delayed for some time so Logitech finally decided to just go ahead and the wheel. Without one the other is simply incomplete, such as was the case with Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec and the Logitech GT Force. The Driving Force Pro was made for it and it for the Driving Force Pro. The Logitech Driving Force Pro has been available in stores for some time now, but we've put off reviewing the wheel until now for one very important reason: Gran Turismo 4.
