Thanks for your patience.
The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.
Does anyone know if the Logitech G25 is supported on the PS3 in NTG2011?
That's what I have but seeing that some wheels are apparently being questioned
now I would like to know. If not then I suppose I will get the 360 Version.
The game fully supports the G25 in fact it was specifically tuned for the game and should work better than other wheels.
I went ahead and checked the setup options for you. It looks like there is a bump option represented in lb/in/s which can go between 14 and 71 on each corner of the car. I am not seeing the upper control arm lengths or angles though. The shocks have numerical representation with both bump and rebound. Hopefully that answers your questions.
Thanks for checking that out good sir! I'm not 100% sure what that would be referring to.......the bump stops are solid and have no spring rate to them, and I would think would be represented by height only. They are also only used on the front of the car. But maybe they have found another way to represent them? They only other thing I can think of is that they are referring to spring rubbers (maybe they call them "bump rubbers" in England?) A typical full spring rubber that is full stiff is 75lbs/inch, and a soft half or quarter rubber is probably around 15 to 20. If they allow you to add and remove these bump rubbers on pit stops, then more than likely that is what we are talking about.

Yeah you can't add or remove spring rubbers during pit stops. You can adjust tire pressures, wedge, and grill tape. I have a feeling there is no bump stop setting now that I think of it. I think the bump is just dealing with the shocks and not referring to the bump stops. Again I am no Chad Knaus but that's what I think.
I'm just going to assume that career mode is basically season mode. The developers haven't givin' any information on it other than saying you race a season and try to make the chase and win a championship....THE END....
I've been trying to get some details on it for months and months and I figured since it's two days before the release date and I still know nothing....... then there must be nothing to know.
P.S. and don't tell me it's unlimited, I've heard that every time....that tells me nothing! it is probably the year 2010 every season, I know it's going to be the same tracks and drivers but I don't want to win the 2010 or 2011 cup 8 times!!!!!! I give up!
Then dont play career. Sorry to say it but its endless. As far as we know it starts in 2010. The update comes out in May or June and we get the 2011 stuff. Start the career over and begin in 2011, then go to 2012 and so on.
Thanks blue I was getting mad cause I asked twice already and after my comments I saw guys commenting they have the game and they could and was asking questions to the developers on twitter. I just felt I was being ignored on my question. I dont demand anything Im just asking but yes your right I am on limited time and its not the end of the world its just Im in montana deep in the mountains and I have drive far to get new releases. But take your time blue cause I myself is watching the race to. I go for Dale Jr. Anyways take care the race is about to start.
Ok this is a 2 part answer - Slick T, the PS3 does NOT lock it to the console. I had no problem moving the game saved data to my USB drive, and back. I could even see it on my PC......
2nd question - I saved the paint scheme onto the usb, and brought it over to my pc. It doesn't show up as a standard psp/psd file that photoshop/paint.net can open. It actually shows up as a pfd file...not a pdf file, but pfd file, which is a ps3 ext. file/ It can be opened up, but not in a way that can be discussed here...and I wouldn't do it in the first place.
So the answer is no, you cant bring over a paint scheme to pc and modify it.
So how many consecutive seasons would you realistically do? They would have to have drivers retire which means you would be racing against jimmy john stock, which doesn't seem fun. Now if the game doesn't keep track of all your stats, and resets after a season, that to me is a problem.
I totally agree. I really dont care about the drivers retiring or whatever, but i do want to keep my stats and stuff from season-to-season, and track the sprint cup champ every year... e.g. so i could win the 2011, 2012 & 2013 sprint cup championship, as opposed to winning the 2011 sprint cup over and over again.
CORRECTION: It does work. I was told by a friend that at times the force feedback comes and goes on Nascar 09 so I thought I would give it another shot today. It actually WORKED and I couldn't be happier. The force feedback felt very good. The handling model actually feels even better with the wheel.
I am SORRY if this caused any concerns but I swear yesterday there was zero force feedback. I am so glad it works.
The only thing missing is the settings page to setup the wheel in game but luckily this wheel allows you to adjust settings.
I recall more than a few games that have had FF issues on the 360 similar to what you describe. I think the work around has been to start the 360 and the game with a controller as player 1. Then turn on the wheel as player 2 and switch your profile to that controller. Not sure if it is the same bug or not. Hopefully something that gets patched.

I really appreciate the insight. I will have to try this out and get back to you. I am in total agreement that this hopefully gets patched.

Ok thanks a lot for the info man, but you kind of answered incorrectly, I wasn't looking to modify on a pc, what I was looking for is if you could upload to a pc, then maybe online to a website or email to another ps3 user and then if they could load the car and use it in the game.
Then dont play career. Sorry to say it but its endless. As far as we know it starts in 2010. The update comes out in May or June and we get the 2011 stuff. Start the career over and begin in 2011, then go to 2012 and so on.
what if there isnt a 2012 and so on.....what if its 2011 and then start over...and 2011 again also if you're telling me not to play career then you're telling me not to play the game because career is what I'm looking forward to the most, thanks
