The online racing simulator
Join the "we use an optical cordless mouse and gave up on the game being fun" club!!!
I mean really I use one from a couple years back
What can I do here to make my experience more enjoyable, besides listening to the Logitech people on the boards say oh buy this or that and it will be great, I want something that's great on it's platform. Imagine if games came out for PS3 or whatever that the players couldn't complete with without the latest and greatest gear around.
I love this game, but I also love my wallet.

What's this thread about?
Buy a 2nd-hand wheel of Ebay or w/e
Can't be that expensive. Doesn't have to be a fancy G25, just a regular wheel will do. Maybe in the future when your wallet allows it , buy something fancy. Any wheel (with FFB) is better then a mouse.

All imo of course. Do it. Buy a wheel. You won't regret it.

You know it's about giving up on the goods and just myspacing it all the time and never racing cause it's so hard with a optical wireless laptop mouse


hey man you see my friend Miss MJ around?

I got this 10 buck one but it's really for 5 year olds so it's a bit hard to use....I did have a momo and it was fine...but then I moved, and it stayed plus I really don't have great space for a wheel where i live now

Hey look heres the deal ok.......I don't see Mary Jane she sees me okay....have a job, so she gets to come around a bit more often, but I'm too lazy to get everything for this and I just want to use what I have right now to kick ass, possibly be the best..I mean isn't it leaning towards one way here, and not an even playing field.
I want there to be so a five year old can pick up the controller, and race a guy with a g25 super combo master, and that be a fair race, oh wait I was thinking of NFS

PSS I have a prescription for when I meet with my friend Mary...glory of living in California
Well I could almost join the club, except I use a WIRED optical mouse. Oh and the game is still fun for me, even if I do drive with the mouse :-)

This game must not be for you, I highly doubt that the Devs will cater to people using the improper controller.

Flame flame flame ARG ARG ARG

Let's be realistic (hahaha, pardon the pun). A quick check shows the the G25 has come down in price by about $150 since last year. At these prices the G25 is an incredible value. It's a huge huge HUGE upgrade from a mouse, and it's quality hardware.

Besides... do you ever see anybody play Guitar Hero on a controller?

If you don't have any room for a wheel, a joystick is the next best thing. On some tracks I'm still a lot faster with my joystick because I can change direction so much faster than with my wheel.
A wheel an pedals is no issue for me, but it is a problem for our little dog, Phoebe. We setup two mouse pads for her, left pad is throttle / brake, right pad is for steering, upshift is a tap on the right pad, downshift is a pat on the left pad. I let her try LFS with patch Y, the result was some really viscous barking that I've never heard from her before, so it's back to patch X for Phoebe. Now don't be too impressed, she barely manages to get a sub 1:30 at Blackwood in the LX6, but she claims it's not like driving a real car, but that's probably because all she does is steer while I operate the pedals. A picture of her ready for a cruise:
