Hey guys what ya think about this ? I'm looking for not-so-expensive wireless controller.

I have the wired version of that. Its good and reliable and hasnt broken with all the abuse its had. But I dont think a ps2 style controller is ergonomically made for using analogue sticks. Your left thumb has to reach down to use them and the sticks themselves and as good as a 360 controller.

good news, got the sidewinder pad working, I Downloaded this file & now the pad works great. the game is awesome to play now.

 

[OnBoard]

I'd like to race with TPU members sometime. Have not played much lately, namely of all the rammers and sideways on track hangers. Play with Wingman Formula Force GP Wheel (old, but still works good) without assists and automatic gears.

I'm hoping they would put the assists off option in the next patch because assists give 1-3s a lap advantage (depending on track length). Kinda spoils the fun when the game it not balanced and no matter how fast you drive, can't win or even be on top 3. Then if you happen to find other wheel racers or some in front crash/run wide and I'm near the top, someone parks the car on track on some fast chicane and you're wrecked.

Still have plenty of single player to go, but bought it for online. Have to try and bother the developers on the official forums and hope for the best.

Drifting is great fun with wheel, tens of millions scores are impossible, but not using handbrake at all and getting the car to drift with weight transfer some brake and throttle control is challenging. Don't really like the multiplier hunting, especially online where peeps just drive around circles and hit a one big score to the end. More of lottery than racing. Missing a game mode where you only score by the drifts with constant 1x multi, that would actually show your position in the 'race'.

SP 9/10 (too much Le Mans, have to skip all the time, annoying/false commentary)
MP 6/10 (for 1.1) 5/10 (for 1.0). Assist off 7/10, all cars on all tracks 8/10, better private rooms/host kicks/cd-key/friends and other stuff 9/10.

I agree. But definitely an overall fun game.

I'm definitely up for setting up a game night with you guys. Would be fun to play fellow TPU members. You guys up for a game night this week? How about tonight?

8PST Sound good?

Today i was at 9 pc stores in 3 cities and guess what, NONE of them had wireless Rumblepad II

 

[rampage]

i got this game the other day and played played it for half hour or so (i have got my own car, i got that far), the graphics of the cars is great, everything else is a little lacking tho... is there anyway to mod/ tune the cars, or it simply get a car and drive it ?

XBox 360 Wireless Wheel on Xbox

I have Grid on Xbox 360 and tried using the wireless wheel ($99 from BestBuy) and can say that its junk. I had no control of the car and would hit the side walls constantly. Not only that it seems like they designed it for 10 year olds. The Wheel was way too small for my hands. But I got better results just using the 360 gamepad and enjoyed the game a whole lot more. Would have got it for PC but don't like playing pc games in summer heat!

So stay away from the Wheel...

Dave.

PS: Tried to change sensitivity and other settings but barely helped...

For PC Users

Had anyone tried changing the LOD to see if IQ improves?
For example:
-go to C:\...\My Documents\Codemasters\GRID\hardwaresettings\
-open hardware_settings_config.xml
-change <textures lod="0"/>
to
<textures lod="-0.80"/>
-save and play grid
Notice any IQ improvements?

Edit: I tried it for myself and noticed no difference.

[johnnyfiive]

Nice boogah. I've gotten over 10 million in the timed/lap drift events. Just keep going in circles pretty much. If only drifting was that easy in real life.

 

[johnnyfiive]

Lets get this going tonight, add me to your xfire if you have it. My name is laodiss.

 

[erocker]

I just got both a controller and the game today. So does anyone know how I can get my Logitech Dual Action controller to work with this game?

 

[boogah]

just go in the controller setup to setup the buttons. I use the left and right axis for steering and up and down axis for throttle and brake.

 

[erocker]

The game doesn't recognize the controller at all.

 

[boogah]

That's weird since i use a usb to playstation adapter and i can use ps2 controller just fine with the game.

 

[erocker]

I should of gotten a usb to PS2 controller adapter for sure. I can't stand logitech...:shadedshu

 

[pagalms]

Yaay, got my Cordless Rumblepad II
OMG that thing is awesome

 

[Wozzer]

I was playing this on my Logitech G25 on the PS3. I set a new record. Having said that, I only play racing games.

 

[Widjaja]

Bought GRID the first day it was released in NZ.
Infact even before the lazy staff had put them on the shelves.

I don't do much online racing as NZ broadband is very expensive and the slowest in the world.
I get lag to the point where I annoy other players by jumping and warping allover the track.

I currently mod the game more than I play it.
Plenty more skins and mods at GRIDjoint
Here's some screen shots of a few of the things I have done so far.
TPU Replacement Sponsor.

Offroad Corolla Drifter?

Hooters and Jim Beam Replacement sponsors.

Id love to be part of the Clubhouse

GRID is so sick, and plays great on my system.

i game at 1920x1200 +4xAA on a 28" with a Logitech Dual Action Controller, i also play some on my G25 but drifting is way to hard cos of how much and how quickly you need to turn the wheel.

A W E S O M E game.

 

[pagalms]

Almost broke my best drift score - got over 230m points and BANG! against teh wall
It was 23 laps combo in Okutama drift circuit. Steering with Rumblepad
