    Fanatec Wheel with NASCAR THE GAME

    I have purchased, but not opened, NASCAR The Game for the PS3. I own the Fanatec Carrera Wheel (and also have an awesome racing cockpit I built from pvc pipe in hopes that this game would be good) and I haven't heard how Fanatec wheels are doing with the new NASCAR game. It is a shame that the main wheels this game is supporting are the Logitech Wheels. I know they are good wheels, but there are other companies out there.

    Anyone have the game and a Fanatec wheel? Let me know what you think.

    I just attempted to race with the GT2 wheel and Club Sport pedals. Basically, the game is unplayable currently for that setup. Such a letdown right now. I hope they patch it soon.

      What made the game so unplayable? I still haven't opened it.

        The wheel isn't supported yet, so when you try to drive with it...you can't a**ust any type of sensitivity and it always wants to pull to the left with no input. Almost like it needs a calibration.

          Same thing happened with my MC2 wheel. I hope they *** both because I am really close to buying a Fanatec off someone right now.

            I tried the game briefly with my fanatec wheel (only on two tracks). Not a great experience but not enough to tell whether it was more the wheel with the game or just the game itself. It did work in the sense I could generally steer the car but it didn't leave me with a great feeling after trying it. I'm hoping to try it again tonight.

              Off topic but I love that somehow I have hijacked someone's avatar of a *** in a Rays jersey playing ** Hero.

                keep in mind that stock cars are generally "yawed" to the left which may be some of the left turn pull you feel...and on a sidenote I now have the Rays kitty to lmao but I did not put it there

                  When using my whee I only have to rotate it half an inch to take any turn,. I'd rather play with the controller than wheel at this point.

                    That dancing *** is driving me crazy.

                    At this point I am just going to take the game back and get gran turismo. I was going to wait to get that game after I got tired of NASCAR, but I guess I will just reverse that thinking and get NASCAR (if it is ***ed) when I get tired of GT5.
                    I have been playing GT4 (backwards compatable ps3) with my carrera wheel and have been loving it.

                      Its just an ***** ****s **** more than likely. From the few laps I did do I had fun, but I just couldn't handle the super sensitive steering. i want to turn my wheel more than 1 degree to take the turns at Daytona.

                        I'm pretty sure they are adding the Fanatec wheel(s) to the supported racing wheel list next patch.

                          If it is a fanatec pwts version 1 i would be hesitant on buying it since there first version had quite a few issues with overheating and the fan dying. i own a v1 and v2 and the v2 has had no problems. just a heads up.

                            Is that the Turbo S model that works with the 360?

                              yes, that would be the same wheel.
