Driving Force Pro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Driving Force Pro is a specialized game controller manufactured by Logitech for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. It also works with the PC using drivers available from Logitech website. See Here (http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/latest_soft_main.htm). It is designed to function like the controls in an automobile and includes a steering wheel with force feedback, analog accelerator and brake pedals, and sequential stick and paddle gear shifters in addition to the standard Playstation 2 buttons. The controller was jointly designed by Logitech and Polyphony Digital to be used with Gran Turismo 4, however it will work with other games and has a 200 degree compatibility mode for games not compatible with the 900 degree mode. It works with most driving games on the playstation and has a RRP of £99.99 at most stores. It is viewed by many that when used with Gran Turismo 4 to be very comparable with an actual racing experience. This is mostly due to the force feedback feature which actually causes the steering wheel not only to vibrate when clipping the side of the road or something but if it is raining, it causes the wheel to 'feel mushy' and it will be less responsive. Also, if you go over bump, the wheel will jolt and make the driver feel as if he was in a real car.

It has been expressed that the wheel may be compatible with the PlayStation 3 in the future, for games such as GranTurismo HD and GranTurismo 5
