I've never been a big racing game fan having owned like 3-4 racing games since the Snes, but GT5 is making me considering getting wheel to go with it, lol.

You are not the only one. I love racing but up until this year there was nothing worth while IMHO. Now with F1 2010 out and GT5 coming I finally bought a PS3, wheel and seat. I am having a blast with F1 and can not wait until GT5.

I want to buy a steering wheel for GT5. The Logitech Driving Force GT seems like a popular choice, but does anybody have any other suggestions?

This is the wheel I chose. Mounted properly it is fantastic. Outside of this wheel you will pay a premium. After extensive research it is the best bang for the buck. Sure the G27 is awesome but it is also 2x the price.

With that Driving Force GT wheel, is the PS3 version compatible with the PC? or is there a specific PC version?

Looks great and you can bag one on ebay for ?50 thanks to GT5 being delayed.

IIRC all the driving wheels support the PS3/PC.

Yes. The logitech wheels seem to be the most heavily supported. If you are planning on getting a wheel be sure you have a secure place to mount it. I had mine mounted on a folding table and that wheel jerked that thing around without issue. It was hard to drive and felt bad. Once I mounted it to my Playseat it is a whole new experience. The racing is fantastic and my times on Prologue and F1 decreased significantly.

Can someone just clear up what the big hype is with the Andrian Newey Red Bull car? It's not the fastest, most superlative car in the world because it doesn't exist does it?

I could design a car to push 400mph with a nice enough jet engine on the back. This is just for GT5 is that right? People are talking about it as though it's a real life concept car.

The fuss is it *could* be made into a real car, remember the GT by Citroen? it was designed in GT and then built into a real car (that ultimately failed, but still it was a mighty fine effort all round!). That I believe is what the fuss is about, that the game is such an accurate representation of the real world you can design a car within it and then bring it to the real world and it would work.

Haven't been keeping up at all... is there an official release date now or are we just all still assuming it is coming before Christmas?

Assumption! Oh and that rumour from the guy on the bus sitting behind my brothers uncles sister who claimed it was being released in December shifty.gifwhistle.gif

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
