Full X360 Controller Support

[TechnoJellyfish]

But customers need to know this thing, and turn their hate towards M$.

Well, I don't think that this should be a priority as a game developer, do you?
In the end you're only hurting your customers and yourself by creating an inferior product (from the customer's perspective).

It may need a little more effort from the developer's side, but this will be recognized by the customer as "going the extra mile" to create as much of a perfect experience as possible.

Instead, it is just like: "Wow, after all these years and two major Trackmania titles they still haven't managed to properly support that gamepad ..."

This thread is going out of hand.... I guess I'm just stubborn and hate M$ too much... I haven't even made any games which support gamepads at all
Maybe we should continue with on-topic discussions from now on

If a one man emulator developer can make his playstation 2 or Wii emulator support xinput *AND* Direct Input, there is NO excuse for Nadeo not to do it either. I mean, there simply isn't one. It's ridiculous.

Braking without the analog brake is broken, it brakes but cancels acceleration so I have to re-trigger the accelerate button to move forward properly. Tried braking with the left button and the A button; they both have the same effect: stopping acceleration. Ergo, drifting is broken when using a 360 controller because the analog brake does not have the same effect as the normal brake.

Any input?

I didnt even realise this is the case! I am using the native 360 controller drivers and am able to map accel/brake to the tiggers using the new option in the games control set up (I think its just called analog accel/brake) I thought this had solved the age old 360 problem, but does this mean that when I tap brake to enter a drift I am cutting the accelerator and so losing more speed than I should be?

Would I be better off installing the other drivers as suggested in this thread?

Mapping accelerate on the right trigger, and B for brake. When holding accelerate down and pressing the brake, the acceleration stops, and I have to lift and re-press the trigger before it accelerates again. Controller is fully calibrated and works as expected in the game controller config screen in Windows.

Windows 7 64-bit
XInput driver: 2.1.0.1349

Where's a good place to get the XBCD driver? I can't remember where I downloaded it before, but it just didn't work properly. I'm currently using the M$ drivers, but would love to use both triggers.

BTW, I definitely agree on better controller support at least. I don't really care much about xinput support. The minimum I ask is for an axis to work like an axis instead of a button for gas and brake.

You can't use a mix of an axis and a button for gas and brake because they'll cut each other out. If you go for just axis or just buttons, it'll be ok.

Yeah, that's why I'm posting as a bug because it shouldn't. But, thanks for the workaround.
