Steering wheel support

[Strider]

I'm playing with Xbox gamepad and it's very frustrating that wheeling angle only 90 degrees. If I'll buy wheel, will it fix the problem? Will it worth it at all, besides? I'd read here that wheel support is not perfect in GRID.

you can get it working well enough with fiddling inlogitech program jobbie

taken from another post..this works well...then just adjust forcefeedback as seems right.

I just used this for DFGT...if you enjoy car games get a wheel...it makes it very very very good and way more challenging!
