G25 with the DFP on the left

[M_3628905]

:laugh: Counting the days until I order a G25 (counting up - not down, lol) :laugh:

Anyways from all the YouTube videos and pics that I've seen - the gearstick is always on the right due to it being american I guess?

Does anyone have it on the left like in Australian cars (and possibly some european cars)?

Fortunatly american cars have the pedals in the same orientation :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Actually i dont cause i drive the european way but it doesnt make any difference.The good thing with g25 is that you can move the stick wherever you want!

I'm pretty sure the only europeans that drive on the wrong side.. *ahem* sorry the left side of the street are people in the U.K and Ireland :nuts:

You mean, like 53 countries around the world do, and one US occupied terratory.

Thanks

I spose the only other question I had is can you stall the car using the G25?

I know how to drive manual - but the cars are at least 11 years old and needless to say I've never driven any racing cars b4 :nuts:
I should get used to it pretty quickly though.

You can stall the car on TDU lol pretty good for learning the basics of real driving except there is no biting point.

[M_3628905]

no biting point?

is that the same as 'friction point'?

If so - how does it work if there's no such thing in the G25 (or is it just TDU)? I'd like to get my younger sibling to try it out to get the feel for how it works. I've already got my license so for me the wheel should be a lot of fun - especially when ProStreet comes out.

[Wuggizle]

Biting point = When you lift the clutch up and at the point where the car starts moving just with the clutch, but no too much so it stalls but not too little because you'l go to slow or roll backwards down a hill if you're on one tonguegre Its something that you "feel". I dont know how it would be implemented in a game though ... vibrating pedals, wheel and sound of the biting point would be needed.

But you can still use the clutch as normal on the G25 but you wont be able to feel the bite.

[M_3628905]

Yeah that's what i thought you meant - over here we call it 'friction point'

http://www.geocities.com/jusjih/driving-rl.html#lgzThanksfully the other 190 countries drive on the correct side of the road, the right side tonguegre

[M_3628905]

Left side is better - easier to change radio stations when the wheel is on the right of the car tonguegre

[Devilbound]

Umm what? Easier to handle radio if wheel is on the right side :hin: ??? You don't think it has anything to do what you are used to tonguegre ? For I for one find the truth to be totally opposite... lolblue:

[M_3628905]

From the point of view that you can steer the car with your right hand (taking into account that most ppl are right-handed)

But you could be right too - what I'm used to :laugh:

[Devilbound]

Yes, but I am right handed and still...But you know, it can be kinda like when you play the guitar. When you're right-handed, you still usually do the most technically demanding stuff with your left hand...

The human physique. It's amazing :nuts: ....

I can get the car going just on the clutch

I like that illustration - changing radio stations is more technical/precise than steadying the steering wheel (no need to reply - I totally get your point - just being funny) :laugh:

[Devilbound]

:laugh: Well, I reply anyway tonguegre ! Because, u know, messing with the radio is more demanding technically in the sense that the buttons(control device) are smaller and need a more delicate touch, although making a mistake with the radio rarely causes risk of immediate death... :nuts: :p

I mean, there are few things as ridiculously easy than driving a car at normal speeds. As you know; There are lot's of drivers out there whom you'd think have an insurpassable ordeal to even tie their shoe-laces, but still they're out there trolling along, blind and deaf...
