Clutch/Brake actuation - real simulator OR push a button gameplay: So here are my questions; (1) Is the clutch and brake more like an acrade video game or an actual driving simulator?

I have been wondering this exact same thing for a while now. Of course I already have the wheel, lol, so doesn't matter. Really need to start getting it set up since the game comes out in about a 10 days.

It's a gas pedal-that's why my boys love it-it's like "real" driving. Yes it has to be pressed down for the motorcycle to move.

I would say yes, the analog sticks give you more precise movements because they are analog not just a digital on/off signal such as arrow keys, but does take some getting use to, so at first you will be worse. in my opinion, however, if you want this for racing games, I highly recommend buying a cheaper racing wheel over a gamepad, provided you can spend a little extra $$$ and space isn't a huge issue. even a cheap $50 racing wheel will be 1000 times more realistic and precise feeling than a gamepad. If you dont have much cash, maybe a cheap thrustmaster steering wheel would fit well? If you have plenty of money to blow and you are really into racing games, nothing beats a logitech G27. period. (I am currently using a microsoft sidewinder steering wheel from the early 2000's and I LOVE it, im very into racing games and wish I had money for the G27...

It will not engage a brake of any kind, but it will slow you down a little. The fixed gear is controlled exactly the same way, forwards and backwards. So theoretically, you could stop just by using your pedals. I tried using the fixed gear and it was not for me. After a few days, I switched it back to the freewheel.

It works. You just have to squeeze the hand brake all of the way, and then push in the red button. You have to squeeze super hard.

Play Station has stopped supporting the on line races that they used to provide every month in GT5. I would buy a used GT6 game if you like the time trials. GT6 did not provide any extra races on the online part like GT5 did other than stupid time trials. I thought it was easier to tune your cars in GT5 and had over 700 cars that I owned. GT6 is harder to earn lots of money and there isn't many cars that you can win. (maybe 20) I haven't played it in several months as I got bored with it, something that didn't happen with GT5. If you have a large garage full of cars with GT5 then it would be good to own it again if you can buy it at a decent price. The racing dynamics are not noticeably better with GT6 and some think it is actually worse than GT5. I know Sony is still tweaking it to make it better like they did with GT5. It might be worth while to get it if you can buy it cheap. Certainly not $50 like I paid for it when it came out. Maybe 25 to 30 dollars would be reasonable. Hope this helped you.

I can't see why not, left leg for clutch hand control for gas and break you might have to get use to shifting you might be able to take left hand off the hand control to steer while you shift gears.

It's a variable speed twist speed control like a motorcycle twist. As there's no clutch it does engage and start quickly. I've learned to be easy on the throttle for slow manuvers and it works quite well.

Correct, it only shows correct gear when you release the clutch. It don't take me long to get used to and it's still the best indicator on the market.

Yes, it works with many, most or all simulators. Using standard wheel and pedal USB drivers. Works with NFS, SRW and F1 so far. Should work for most othets. Takes up very little desk space, which was a major selling point for me.

It depends on what sort of cars you driven in real life. Most modern cars have drive-by-wire (eg: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Toyota, GM, Volkswagen and Nissan). The Logitech G27 Racing Wheel pedals are similar to real pedals on a drive-by-wire car. But there are many mods out there, if you want to change the stock springs on the pedals. Personally I haven't upgraded the springs on it.

I am very pleased with the response of my brake controller. Once set up, it responds to both my foot application of the car brake and the hand controller. Feel very in-control. Had it for 2 yrs now and it's a 5star. BTW learned that our military base outdoor equipment rental shop has this brake controller on all their trailers (30ft)

Anytime u have a manual trans and u have to press the clutch to start your car u will need a bypass. Now a warning if u have the car in gear and start it it will move

AA batteries. Understand that it doesn't support gear changing or clutch, so you'll have to work in Automatic shifting mode. It does make driving Forza 3 and 4 a lot more fun, however, and once you get used to driving with the triggers as throttle and brake, it gets to be pretty easy to do and is a lot more like driving than a basic controller.

Yes , It's An Excellent Control To Have . It's very quick and easy to install. One connects to the brake and another connects to the gas . You put it in to go and pull towards you to stop . I hope this helps :)

Not that I know of, if it is switchet then you cant shift and hold the brake at the same time. Sorry I couldnt help, I had the same question.

I don't believe it works with a wheel. I know the steam version does not, and I believe the controls and button inputs kind of rule out using a steering wheel peripheral. However, keep in mind that not only is this not a traditional "racing" game, but it's not a good game either. Buyer be ware on this title.
