Getting better, beat the 1 player game today. The only time I had to resort to the paddle shifters was some of the L.A. stages, especially the night time reverse one.. I really hate L.A.

Getting more used to the H-Shifter but I found a site with some really great G27 mods.

> Increase spring tension for H-Shifter
> Increase spring tension for Push down reverse
> Add E-Brake
> Change the wheel
> Reverse the pedals

From looking at his tutorials I know how to make my own sequential shifter now too based on the add e-brake tutorial though I dont need one I would definitely add an e-brake though if I had a dedicated setup.

You get nothing from beating the single player tour sadly.

I just hit level 100 though

Not sure I never paid attention. I know you get a car for each world tour thats based on the typo of tour it is.

Meaning you get a cool f1 like landrush car for the landrush world tour, and you get a rally type car for the rally world tour.

Near the end of the game you unlock some ford mkII POS that I think is supposed to have something to do with collin mcrae and you have to use that car for the quite a few different races...

I have over 6 million dollars, I bought just like 2 cars of each type and have used those same ones during the entire game.

So I install the game today via steam and when I go and boot it up the game crashes. Any help people, my specs are below (sig). I updated my graphics card to 10.5, updated direct x, and audio drivers. Is there any other reason why I can't even boot up. Im using win7 64bit.

Finally got this game. My only gripe is that my Logitech game pad doesn't work for it. Is there any fix for this or do I really need to get a xbox controller for it? I really don't like using the keyboard for racing. To bad they didn't allow mouse control for steering as well. Great game otherwise.

I had the same problem for GTA4 and found a fix. Hopefully there's one for Dirt 2 also.

Really? Seems my controller should work then. I'll try again ... test it in control panel first to be sure. *Crosses fingers*

Ok. So I had some coffee, my brain began working and then I went into options and mapped the controls to my gamepad lol. Saw "buttons" greyed out before so that threw me off.
Works great now! thanks.
