Scottish Elises

Hi

Just a long shot...

Last time they visited Campbell's son James requested a night round at ours some time for a shot of PS3. So I thought it might be quite nice to have a boys night.

Problem is - Campbell can't use a PS3 controller very well

Wondered if anyone within reasonable distance of Linlithgow might have had a wheel and pedal set we could borrow for the night to give him a fighting chance?

In all seriousness, would be nice for wee James to get a shot of wheel and pedals - sure he'd love it.

Let me know if anyone has anything - will ensure they are looked after (would consider buying if you're done with them - probably won't be long until our wee one Cameron wants to take the wheel!)

Cheers

Alistair

Hi,

Yeah, I might be able to help out here. I have a pretty decent Logitech G25 wheel and pedal set that's currently unused. I've never tried it on a PS3 though, but think it will work fine... If it's of use, let me know - I'm in Bo'ness so only 5 minutes away too

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks Steve - knew SE would come up trumps!

I'll double check compatibility, and drop you a PM once we've sorted out when they are coming round

Thanks!

Crikey Steve, never realised you were so close by!!

Al - told you SE was the answer.

I've done quite a tour of Scotland over the last 2 years Campbell. Moved out of Glasgow to here in Bo'ness, but after Bea got her MSc, she was offered a contract position in Wick. 9 months later + 1 baby, we moved back here to Bo'ness - just at the crossroads by the BP garage. Not that I was ever a real Weegie, I can lay absolutely no claim to that title anymore as I don't even live there

Ive got a logitech driving force gt in Livingston if the other one doesn't work.

A Logitech G25 should work perfectly with Gran Turismo 5, and should be one of the best ways to play the game I reckon.

Sent you a PM Steve - Campbell and James visiting on Friday so if could arrange for then that would be great

Cheers

Thanks Steve - think Campbell is/has been in touch?

Looking forward to our boys night in

Yep, I missed his call this morning, but I left a voicemail for him to pop over any time after 3pm today.

And you have a txt that says I'll be there just after 4. Better bring the barge, eh...

So we've only needed about 20 mins to plug everything together. 15 of which to locate where the power jack goes.

Awesome!

What a great night!

We discovered -

- James has his Dad's temperament when it comes to winning/losing
- James picked things up really quickly after sussing out the racing line and braking points
- I need some practice using a steering wheel rather than a controller at GT5
- My 3 1/2 year old son can make a decent hack at accelerating, braking and steering (but was disappointed his imaginary rocket booster wasn't working)
- Boys nights in are the best!

Thanks Steve - really appreciate it. Will be in touch re return of kit.

Cheers

Alistair
