Does anybody here play KRP with a controller? i only have the demo so far but if others play with a controller i will purchase the full version!
Found it impossible to start with but messed around with the controller and kart setup and managed a few dodgy laps lol. really great fun! 8) with some tips on setting up a kart (lots and lots of settings :o) and more practice it would be a lot better im sure.. ;)
Noob with a controller..

Really like the best lap ghost too! plz add it in GPB :P
For some reason I'm now not able to see your video Bob, or for that matter any posted Youtube videos now on the forum anymore...... Anyone got any ideas?
I am using IE to view the forum as I've always done, but this problem has only started within the last couple of days, been fine before that.

Reading through the forum just now, I'm now thinking maybe it's an issue with the Forum Hosts? Because Piboso is apparently having issues with the KRP forum hosts restricting user SQL requests. But I will try Chrome and see if that fixes the issue.
Thanks Bob! ;)
EDIT: Yeah Chrome work fine Bob. Must just be IE having one of it's regular bad days. Lol ;D

I can not play with the controller (i use a GPX) can post your controller settings?
Maybe I can get a ride without flying off the track XD
In my experience, if you are thinking of getting into driving simulations then you really need a steering wheel/pedal set-up. Trying to drive a car/kart racing sim with a gamepad is nearly as bad as suggesting to a GPB newbie to use the keyboard as a controller. Lol
Hawk.
lol true story Hawk ;D i am tempted to buy a wheel i must admit. would have to be a cheap wheel though because i dont spend much time on car racers.. who knows, maybe that would change ;)
I've got the full version, but its very difficult with the controller.
Setting the wheel rotation to its lowest setting helps a lot.
GPB summer holiday to KRP?? ;)
I bought a super cheap Trustmaster Ferrari racing wheel like 8 years ago and still use for KRP and WRS. It still works perfectly! Except for the shifters, those are made from plastic and they broke after a couple of years. :P
Just a little advice on buying steering wheel/pedal set-ups because I've been there and worn the T-Shirt.....
To anyone thinking of buying a steering wheel set-up, if your thinking of seriously racing car/kart sims, please invest in a good quality steering wheel; the difference is like night and day in the precision control and operation in sim. ;)
Obviously if your not sure whether you want to take it as serious as you do GPB, then of course buy the cheapest and see how you get on. :)

Thanks! ;) yeah maybe a cheapo will do me for now.. wouldn't stop with a wheel, end up with a bloody bucket seat and full rig lol. can't afford it.. besides, bikes are my thing not so much cars although i still enjoy them.
I'd just buy a G27: it may cost some extra money up-front (but you can find second hand ones), but if you ever want to sell it, it will be gone in no time.

What's the price range of a G27? Or any half decent wheel?

You could get these cheaper second hand on eBay(but beware unofficial copies on eBay). ;)
Buying steering wheel and pedal sets really is a case of you get what you pay for.....
But stick with Logitech or Thrustmaster(which in my opinion make the best general consumer steering wheels) and you won't go far wrong.

What about a Logitech driveing force GT??
Only around £120 and aparently a half decent wheel.
Just sold my almost new DFGT for £29 to CEX as nobody wanted it on Gumtree. Its a good wheel, pedals need replacing with something or modding. You could adapt a set of T3PA good pedal set for £100 including new pedal set!!!
DD
£29.. £120.. that's more like it! :P
£600+ yikes!!! :o maybe next year lol
i guess i would need a stand for it too? my desk is pants...
If the g27 is a bit pricey on eBay try looking for the g25.
For casual use the normal pedals are fine :P
Just stick a spring under the pedal to give it some more resistance. I think some people even use a small tennis ball ;D
had a quick look.. some good deals around! ;)

You could also super-glue a couple of powerful magnets apposing each other - easier than mounting a spring in a lot of cases. ;)

Nice!
Looking on ebay there's some crazy deals.. G27 Wheel, pedals, shifter, stand, seat, basicly the full rig for under £300!!
What's the general thoughts on second hand wheels? Do they loose the feel and precision?
With G27 and 25 wheels the only thing that gave up for me after years of use were the pedal pots, but I managed to find replacements. Those wheels are built pretty well.

I can get a new one (g27) in france for 300E (from a very solid online shop).
Second hand, 150E or slightly more.
390GBP ? No way, Sherlock :)
