Nice. Most money I won in one of those was 100k. Today, however, on a 6 star one, I won that Alpine VGT thing that I'll probably never use. lol.

4 gold bars. Also Porches at Nurburing in the rain in the insanest fun.

Lol, should have went full San Rio (I think that's what it was called) on it. Unless you made the HK with just shapes only. Haha

I've never won anything in those raffle tickets but the lowest prize

That kept happening to me until I won the 5 gold bar prize like pilot. Those definitely are made to be like crane games and similar in Japanese arcades.

Is that Logitech G923?

Looks like a G29

Yeah it's just a magic collage of shape decals :)Yeah I wish they had like 20 small coin spots and 1 of each other rest so it actually reflects the true odds.

I've also been thinking of getting a wheel and a playseat cause steering with the controller is meh. For those with a wheel, have they introduced any steering feel at all? For example, in iRacing and Assetto Corsa, the wheel is constantly dancing in your hands over the bumps and dips and you can feel every crack in the road. In previous Gran Turismo games, the only time there was feel in the steering wheel was over rumble strips. Is that still the case?

Close, just a G29. Works with PC, XBox and PC. I switch it between the PS4 and Assetto on PC. Works as expected for an entry-level setup, not a huge fan of the spacing between the Throttle and Brake pedals, Rev-matching is a little tricky. Other than that, is a great wheel.

IDK how you can tell the difference other than lil knob thing (black vs orange).

Gotcha, I'm debating to get G923 or G29... currently I'm leaning towards G923.

I can sort of confirm this on the G29 steering wheel. The feedback from each game does play a big part. F1 is punishing when going on the track limits, rumble strips, etc. While I was waiting for the installation to finish yesterday on GT7, I was able to play some Music Rally events and the wheel would only give me serious feedback when going over curves or rumble strips. I played without any assists if that helps too.

That sucks. But if it sharpens up steering I'm still open to trying it

From the reviews the difference between a 293 and 29 is very little. You might get a little more feedback with TrueForce on the 293 but at the price point difference of $100, I don't see it as a must-have.

That's what I just read as well. Some review recommend Thrustmaster instead

I would still recommend using a wheel to play. Steering changes can become crucial when driving on harder tracks. My biggest thing was rev-matching which is awkward on the G29 when using the H pattern shifter. Im more used to left foot braking and pads because of F1, but it takes away some challenging aspect when going full manual.

The way I see it, if you are planning to go all out and have as much immersion as possible, you go and get a rig with a Fanatec. But if you're casually playing and still want to feel immersion with a respectable feedback without breaking the bank, go with a G29 or G293, the latter depends on how much you prioritize "True" feeling at an entry level. Then again, it also depends on your wheel settings which would require some trial and error.

Not sure GT7 is worth Fanatec setup. Love GT series... but isn't Fanatec setup costing around $700 up?

& no love for Thrustmaster? lol

Thats is correct haha. Is some good amount of couch change to put it kindly.


Is not that I don't love Thrustmaster. But why spend extra $$ at an entry level when you can have as much fun with a $299 wheel that can offer the extra fun you're looking for. Is it essential to have as much feedback as possible? Yes. But how much do you prioritize it mixed with the extra $$ if you are just playing for fun, casually.



Here, for anyone interested on getting a wheel, it should help. Techradar and TomsHardware have great reviews when it comes to all things related PC and Consoles.

That's pretty much the logic I used when I got the G29. It's "good enough".

I actually preferred my cheap G27 wheel to the expensive Thrustmaster I bought later. The G27 feedback was hilarious. It would buck so hard that it rocked the chair, almost making it feel like you're in the car going over bumps. When I got the Fanatec, it was artifically smooth and just lacked that rawness. Kind of a bummer cause you upgrade and expect to have more fun but it was the opposite in my case

I'll buck you hard anytime, babe. PM me! :wub:

I was looking at the GT DD, but between that, the 8Nm upgrade, the load cell pedal, handbrake, H-shifter, and a cheap stand to put everything on, it'll all cost me $1600.

Yeah... I wasn't even planning to pay that much for the setup. Even my most expensive setup came up <$900! That include NLR F-GT cockpit.

You could always do it in pieces. It will cost a bit more over time but less of an upfront cost. The feel of the DD is outstanding granted I haven't played GT7 to know what the FFB is like.

Eh, I'd rather buy everything at once. Haha

So I was searching around and find this deal on Thrustmaster T248

Dell Deal: Thrustmaster T248 & GT7

So after you put it in the cart, you can take off GT7. The price will drop it down to $319.98... which is $20 more than Logitech G29. So I thought hey~ why not! & pull the trigger on the wheel.

I got $150 gift card plus $15 reward at Best Buy for buying LCD TV last month, so I'll used that to buy NLR GT-Lite seat.

Total cost for this setup will be $425.That's not a bad setup for a beginner.

lol, one of these is not like the other.

I have the G923. Turn it up and it will give you a workout. Twin motors, I think the G29 is much less powerful.

Apparently the game is still down after undergoing maintenance since last night. And of course since it requires an active internet connection, you can't do anything at all.

Apparently it's related to the patch that was released last night. It's mind-boggling to me they don't have a rollback process to re publish the previous patch version.

I'm extremely disappointed in the new patch since it's severely reducing the payout in the (former) high paying races. If PD continues with this trend, I will not be buying future GT titles. Shame on them for really trying to force people paying real money for credit...

Same here. It really makes me not want to play it anymore.

What about all the people that paid top $+ for ps5 and the game. Now they have to buy credits or grind for hours to get overpriced cars and parts.
Talk about a real driving simulator:burnrubber:

Yeah, I bought a PS5 mainly for GT7. :mad0260:

Are any of you guys able to play? I thought the maintenance was over but the game is still stuck for me.

Nope, it just gets stuck on a "GT" loading icon either in the middle of the screen, or bottom right corner. People on their FB page are saying they are still down as well.

While I waited out the scheduled maintenance on the GT7 servers, I ordered a 1TB Samsung QVO SSD for the PS4. The load times drive me insane, mostly because I've gotten so used to instant times on my PC. Plus the HDD on the PS4 is outdated and the console itself needs a good deep cleaning.
