• Reviewed on: Xbox 360 • The Good: Excellent design and construction; axial feedback does a good job of mimicking the feel of the road; works splendidly with Project Gotham Racing 3. • The Bad: It's pretty pricey; its cables will make a mess of your gaming room; the pedal base slides easily over carpet. • The Verdict: The best racing wheel available for the Xbox 360 at least for the time being. • style='list-style: none'> Blood bowl 2 legendary edition. REVIEW: Racing wheels are the sort of peripheral you only want to purchase once per platform.
That means it's worth waiting for a few to be released and checking out what people have to say about them before heading out to buy one. With that in mind, it's still a bit early to choose an Xbox 360 racing wheel. The only other contender is Logitech and its recently released DriveFX Feedback Wheel. This pricey peripheral costs just over $100 (Cdn.) in Canada, but you can see and feel the quality in the design. Like most gaming wheels, the DriveFX's heavy black base is designed to clamp onto a coffee table; just slide it over the edge and twist a pair of black knobs on top a few times to secure it. Once fastened, there's little chance it will come loose. The wheel itself has been expertly crafted.
At just 10-inches in diameter it's certainly not the size of a real steering wheel, but everything else about it is pretty much spot on, from its girth to its materials. I especially liked the pair of tacky rubber grips that wrap around both sides of the wheel and provide excellent traction for sweaty gaming fingers. All of the standard Xbox 360 buttons (save the two analogue sticks) are logically scattered about the wheel's hub, with the action buttons on the right, the d-pad on the left, and the Back, Start, and Xbox 360 Guide buttons set in the lower centre of the wheel. In a stroke of subtle brilliance, Logitech turned the trigger buttons into paddles located under the hub of the wheel, where most players' index or middle fingers normally rest.

It's an excellent idea that ought to be especially appreciated by racers who would rather use triggers than foot pedals for accelerating and braking. On the subject of foot pedals, the DriveFX pedals are good, if unexceptional. They are authentically shaped and positioned, but unlike a real car both require about the same amount of pressure to depress. Four rubber grips on the bottom of the pedal base do a god job of keeping it from sliding around on solid-surfaced floors, but aren't particularly effective in keeping it stationary on carpet. Alas, the Xbox 360's promise of wireless gaming isn't realized with the DriveFX. Most gamers will have no less than four cords sticking out the back of the wheel base. The thick and sturdy USB cable that attaches the wheel to the console is about three metres long and has a breakaway section in case someone walks by and trips on the cord.
A seven pin cable that attaches the footpads to the wheel is significantly shorter, likely so that it doesn't gum up the works under your coffee table. Next is an AC adapter with a suitably long wire that provides power to the wheel's axial feedback motors. The final cord is, of course, the one connecting your headset to the wheel base. It looks a mess, but, adding wireless technology to replace one or more of these cords likely would have driven the cost of the wheel into the realm of the unaffordable. The game I tested the DriveFX with was Project Gotham Racing 3, the Xbox 360's premier racing title to date. It was a great experience that left me with very little to complain about. There's no way to calibrate wheel sensitivity, but I found the default setting to be fairly authentic, thanks in part to the DriveFX's motor-powered wheel rotation resistance, which kept me from over-steering and made it easy to get back to centre.
The DriveFX's sole gimmick, axial feedback, does a what Logitech says it will do: it provides a fairly authentic reproduction of what a steering wheel feels like while travelling rapidly and over varying road surfaces and mimics the sensation of a steering column vibrating under appropriate circumstances. It's not the wheel's top selling point, but it is an interesting alternative to standard force feedback. If you absolutely need to buy a wheel for your Xbox 360 right now and money isn't a major concern, the DriveFX appears to be your best bet. However, it might be worthwhile to wait and see what Microsoft's force feedback wheel is like.
The DriveFX is impressive enough that it's hard to imagine how Microsoft's offering could be significantly better, but you never know; Microsoft has proven time and again that they have a trick or two up their sleeves when it comes to gaming hardware.

Emperor battle for dune patch. Hey buddy.I think you will find that wheel is for XBox 360 only. The only thing I can suggest is to try and configure it in the configuration wizard within Assetto Corsa.If all else fails.Grab a new wheel. I am currently using a Thrustmaster.real budget wheel and pedals but have got my mitts on a Logitech G25 that will hopefully arrive this week. Budget wheels and pedals work fine but all wheels and pedals take a little bit of effort to set up within AC but worth it. Hope this helps a little and welcome to the community:). Logitech G25 buddy.I picked mine up off Ebay(second hand) for about £70.00.Think the are about £120.00 new.I am currently using a Thrustmaster Ferrari Racing Wheel Red Legend Edition PC/PS3 Works well enough but no force feedback hence the upgrade but to tied you over.If you have a XBox 360 gamepad then try that.As I said.whatever wheel/pad you buy, take the time to set it up properly and enjoy the game. Check out forums and AC guides.It is a great community.as long as you don't slag AC off lol.
As a last point.AC does kick the♥♥♥♥♥off all other racing games I have played and will certainly give you a challenge. Good luck buddy.:).
