NFS5 - no shifter

It's ashame NFS5 doesnt support the shifter. That's the one game I was really hoping would support it. I could care less if Nascar 3 supports the shifter. I personally dont so much shifting in N3. :) I kinda wish I hadn't bought the shifter now. I'm afraid either it will loose its 'newness' and the game developers will forget about supporting it, or by the time it starts being supported, it can be bought for half the price I paid for it. I've had the thing for 3 months and haven't even used it yet! Brian

Brian, I don't think it will lose support. If anything, more games are putting in support for it now and I suspect that they will from now on. Probably more wheels will start coming out with something to try to match it. I think it's here to stay. So, why don't you use it to shift? Do you drive in automatic? Lot's of us find it fun to use even in regular legacy mode, and all games support that. I personally hated it the first week I used it. Let's face it, it feels different than any other stick shifter mounted on a wheel. After a week, it was okay, and now I just plain enjoy it. I even changed the way it mounts so it's lower and closer to me. It feels so natural that my lap times are better than ever. Give it a try, it won't cost you any more ;-) -- Slot www.slottweak.com Tweaks & Reviews "Brian" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > It's ashame NFS5 doesnt support the shifter.

Rally championship 2000 uses the full shifter (1-7 + R) in fact for this particular game it is probably faster to drive automatic because you end up shifting all the time but it is GREAT fun, and a good game if you have a powerful machine.

Actually, I was fastest with the shifter amazingly. I set the record on SS2 in Manx because of the shifter. (It was 6:56 or sumthin) It helps you to become VERY consistant. Like I even have a pattern for square corners. At about 100 meters before the square corner (lets use a right hand turn for example), I I brake and slide right, shift into 2nd, then lift off the brake and slide left, shift into 1st, then whip it around the corner. I did my fastest time in Clacaenog with the Shifter too, a 9:54 I think it was.
