Im using my wireless xbox 360 pad because IMO its the best pad you can get, for comfort and design.
In nations there used to be a problem with using the triggers for xcel & brake because they are mapped to the same axis in windows. You could get around it by installing a 3rd party driver but in Canyon, when you set up your input you have an option to use 1 axis as xcel & brake so you can now use offical Windows drivers with no problems.

Im not sure if Nadeo put that option in for this reason but fair play to them if they did!

After 2 days of testing with a logitech extreeme 3d pro
I try ed different settings , but all depends on the kinds off maps witch are available now
But it's clear , its not made for steerweel or Joystick use .
The speed difference for a full weel out left or right >>> 2 times slower than with the keyboard
Keyboard and gamepad are the controllers to use A BIG SHAME i find
Game have potential , but it need setup menu for steerweel or joystick
Also I'm no favorite of the maps that turning now , because i only have drive Dirt and Coast on Tm2 , and find nothing back on the maps witch are available for the moment
But compatible maps can by made , but needs time
Lets see 1 month later

Very Bad!! :-(

My wheel is a thrustmaster enzo ferrari. So far the very best wheel i have had. Much more than all logitech (for me). You rotate the minum angle posible, and the wheel recognices it and send it to the game. and not so hard to rotate not so soft.

With TMU1 i started playing with the keyboard, and months later i played with the wheel. I had very nice sensations. After 15 mins calibrating and practising with sensitivity i could best my own records and control best the car. In all enviorements except on stadium ( in stadium was worse than keys).

Today i have been trying with TM 2, and i exit the game in less than 1 hour very unhappy. I tried different sensitivity and nothing. its like driving on stadium. I tried with keyboard and was much much faster and precise.

But i dont like to play with keys. I

That is not good :( I told you guys they need to readjust their steering sensitivity settings.

In the meantime, I will give you a little suggestion if you're on a wheel. If your wheel has 900 degrees of rotation and you want to decrease it very very small degrees of rotation, go download a program called DIView. It allows you to set your wheel to any and I mean ANY degrees! Even as small as 60 degrees if you want, and it works for every game! That means no more swinging your wheel aaaaall the way to the left and aaaaaall the way to the right. Just short movements both ways :thumbsup:

It is certainly a lot of fun and I bet that people watching me how I try to play with the wheel have a lot of laughs. However, you can barely put in a good time with it. Keyboard or gamepad/joystick it is...

Fiouch_hr, bel1be and josegeraldo2.....did you guys try the program I recommended called DIView, to see if it helped your steering rotational degree problem? Give it a try and let me know what happends. The developers really should have provided a way to adjust the amount of degrees wheel users would like to turn our wheels. Hopefully Hymlic will read this and pass it along to the other devs.

In addition to that thang, can you guys give me some impressions of how the force feedback feels on your wheels? I mean, is it strong, convincing FFB similar to iRacing? Or is it more middle of the road ffb like what is felt in say, Shift 2/GRID/Dirt?

I use a high def usb wheel to play TM. My wheel has 180 degree rotation, I have removed the centering spring so all I have for resistance is the fld dampener, so the wheel is very smooth and power steering like, quick to turn. (no ffb on this wheel). Only problem with my wheel and peddleset is I cant uncombine the axsis, so I have the brake and the gas on the same peddle. I also have the option of using my shifting paddles for brake and gas, which on some tracks I do use.
TM2 I find more difficult to drive with my wheel then United, or Forever.
As far as being faster, wheels arent Im sure in TM, but its the only way I play and enjoy racing games.

Interesting, thanks. :thumbsup: Can I ask what is the name of your wheel?

lol?
There is no FFB on TM. And yes this is a racing game -_-

The wanted the environment to be totally keyboard-friendly. And the only possibility they found to do that was to make driving impossible for wheels - or at least useless - : fast direction changes, no FFB, no slide without braking, no analogue acceleration, pedals unusable without third party application ...
FFB, pedals support, analogue acceleration were all asked long before the beta was even on route. If they wanted to implement these, it would be done already.

Don't ask Hylis why he don't want steering wheel in his game, he will answer that it is a not a usually racing game so it can't be driven with usual controllers for a racing game.
