My son just got forza 4 for his birthday, he and his buddies easily kick my *** every time we race. I don't find the wireless wheel very realistic. I was thinking of buying a force feed back wheel to try and improve my chances. Would that help or should I quit while I'm behind? I'm 50 years old and never played a video game before Forza so its all new to me.

The XBOX force feedback wheel is pretty good and makes the game more fun but it won't make you faster (in the game). I haven't used it in Forza 4 but it works great for Forza 3 and F1 so I'm guessing it'll be fine for Forza 4. No Porsche in Forza 4, so no Forza 4 purchased for me.

Haven't used the wheel in a while but not having Porsches in the game, shouldn't deter you from getting the game. I think you will enjoy it

These wheels should look familiar to you

I have heard nothing but great things about these.

+1, they're terrific. Delivery is slow, though.

what pedals are you using. Im guessing a logitech G25 can not be used, i wanted to upgrade my wheel for my simulator and give my son the old g25 for xbox. Any other solutions for wheels for xbox?
Thanks (what sucks is i have to wait for Santa to bring it on xmas )

For the xbox, the g25/g27 will not work. It's a great wheel but only works with the playstation & pc. For the xbox, I have a Nitro wheel which is ok but goes to better drivers as a handicap (no force feedback). For other drivers, the Msft wireless wheel is the preferred option. It's nice enough, not fanatec or g25 nice, but nice and I'd recommend it. Note, it's not actually wireless as there are power cables for the pedals, wheel unit, and a connection between the pedal & wheel unit.

I think the microsoft wheel is out of production. It's surprising and unfortunate that wheels that work for a PC (like Logitech) do not work on Xbox. Fanatec is awesome but expensive and very hard to get. My next wheel/pedal setup will be for iRacing. There are many more options there.

Want to beat your kids? Configure the game to require clutch and manual transmission. It's an alien concept for anyone under 25.

That's kind of what I was thinking.
