Hadn't even thought of that! And yep, they are cheap! I wonder if there are converters for the original Xbox controllers?? I looked a few years ago, but nothing on the market then.

I'll have another browse!

Thanks!

I like the Ferrari GTO the best, the model that Magnum PI had. Just feels right, some cars are almost "too" fast. The immersion with a G25 using the stickshift is superb.

The only shame is that you can't repaint it like the others.

Well I got it from ebay today, should be playing in a couple of days. Woohoo!

Another recommendation for this game.

Had it for about a week and it keeps me up at silly hours.

FF Steering wheel is great with it.

Been using a gamepad lately, and after lotsa tweaking, it's working nicely and making the game much more fun for me.

I got a gamepad, logitech something. Wanted to use that to ride the moterbikes but not having much luck with the config.

Sorry if it's obvious and therefore not really helpful Father, but I just use the directional arrow thingy on the left(official Logitech language I blieve

) on my gamepad when it comes to the bikes, as I found the toggle stick things (*sigh* I really must learn their names) too sensitive to keep the damned things on the road.

Well I finally got myself a gamepad (Xbox360) and am absolutely loving this game!! Also, I seem to have worked out the online bit! I've had a few races, and a few challenges too. I love just cruising around with some of the other online players. Hooked up with two others the other night, and just did the whole North-East side. I was in my new Astin Martin DB9, they were in a Lotus, and a Ford GT thing!! Was excellent!

I've just picked up my first Ferrari, and still have a million or so dollars to play with! Two houses already too!

Now all I need to do is sort out the "radio"! I really want to get some of my songs playing there, and although I've added some MP3's to the seemingly appropriate folder, they just wont play. Need to look into it a bit further!

Great game...

The radio is a bit ambiguous to setup but it does work, I have a few stations setup with mp3 playlists.

But I actually put in my iPod earphones underneath my headset when cruising.
