So how many are getting this? If a few are then i'll get my pre order sorted out this week

by **Dazza4610** Sat Apr 27, 2013 4:24 am

Already preordered my copy!

Loved Grid 1, and have been waiting years for Grid 2. Hope it does not turn out like TDU2 did.

I have to say, and I hope I am wrong but it looks a lot like SHift 2.

Looks okay. Might have to think about getting it.

I did see a video of it being used with a CSW kit and that looked pretty good.
Well I want the rig as that is awesome!

by **crimson eagle73** Thu May 30, 2013 2:59 pm

Bonus... could you do a mini review once you've played it a couple of hours? I'm probably going to get my copy next week. I think you have a fanatec, how does it work with it? Is there still that grinding of the wheel common with most codies games.

by **OctarineDream** Sat Jun 01, 2013 3:47 pm

C'mon guys - REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! :-)

It's ok I guess...

Have only had about 2 hours at it, spent most of that time trying to get a wheel set up that feels ok. Still not much luck in that department. Sad

And Crimson, it sure does grind away just like other codemaster games, the big difference with this one is, I still have not found a setting to get rid of it. Tried Dirt 3, F1 2011/12 setting all with no luck. I think I might upgrade to the latest firmware and see it that helps. I don't use the chat cable, so that bit wont worry me.

by **crimson eagle73** Sat Jun 01, 2013 6:30 pm

I might have to use the 360 controller only for this one.. I hate fiddling around. At least until someone else online finds a way to disable the horrid wheel feel.

by **crimson eagle73** Sat Jun 01, 2013 7:00 pm

Apparently reducing the FFB to 20 on wheel weight and 100 in game fixes up the grind

I hope to have another play in the morning, will let you know. I know I have adjusted it to a point where there is no grind, but it then has f all feedback, may as well use the controller.

by **Dazza4610** Sun Jun 02, 2013 1:56 pm

OK, bit more of a play with the wheel settings and have found this acceptable for now. At least you can drive the thing.

In Game Settings;
FFB - ON
Vibration Strength - 100
Wheel Strength - 100
Wheel Weight - 100

Wheel Setting;
SEN: 420
FF: 100
SHO: 100
DRI: OFF
ABS: 55
LIN: 10
DEA: 000
SPR: 4
DPR: OFF (this is the setting that makes the sucker grind coffee while you drive)
ACL: OFF

Hope this helps someone as a starting point. Still fine tuning now.

by **crimson eagle73** Wed Jun 05, 2013 10:12 pm

Just got it today and played it for a tiny bit. It aint Forza, but I've got forza for forza lol
It is quite fun. I know the handling is unrealistic, but who cares? I wont even bother with the wheel for this one. Not worth the effort. IMHO. It is very pretty though. Looks a bit like Project CARS. But the sounds are the best part.

by **GOWIE22** Fri Sep 06, 2013 12:20 am
