Problems with steering wheels for gaming consoles?

Question

I've never had any luck with steering wheels for gaming consoles. I love the steering for video games in arcades, but those cost a lot and take up a lot of room. I just purchased an X-box 360 and the associated steering wheel. I'm playing Project Gotham 3. I can't get around 3 corners without the understeer becoming unbearable. This doesn't happen when I use the little joystick.
Any ideas? Is there simply a learning curve? I could the real car much better than I could using this X-box steering wheel.
Thanks

Answer 1

I understand what you are saying, There is a learning curve to the driving games. They are not like driving the real thing for sure, even spending a lot of time in driving/racing simulators, its still not like driving the real thing.

But here is a simple and kinda cheep wheel stand http://www.xlstands.com/index.html to have a better form while playing.

Here is a project that can be done http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/16/diy-gaming-chair-for-80-byo-wheel-pedals/
and this thing can be added to chairs/seats http://www.thebuttkicker.com/ButtKicker%20Gamer_home.html for that extra thump when hitting a wall or crossing grass

Happy gamming
