NO Steering Wheel Support!?

[Exx]

I am surprised to see that my g29 is not recognized by the game, while this same g29 is recognized by nfs hot poursuit on PS3

EDIT : The problem is Steam Input -> go to controller settings in steam and uncheck all

My T-150 works with this game on the PC, of course you need to manually bind the controls and even then you will have to use your keyboard for some functions. Also you will have to go into the wheel properties in the software and adjust your wheel rotation to 180 degrees in order to shrink the dead zone. Its not as good as a controller but it will at least be playable.

Any FFB or vibration at all? Anything?

There's actually a lot of people here poking fun at people who want to play NFS HP with a wheel. They think it's stupid to play an arcade racer with a force feedback wheel.

Maybe they've never visited a penny arcade then. All of the real arcade racing cabinet's I've ever seen had a steering wheel and force feedback. That's the origin of the word "arcade racing". I honestly don't understand what arcade has to do with gamepads at all.

It's an easy arcade game in wich you can "drift" by just pressing a single button, why you need a wheel for this ???

The answer ist right above your post. Because every real arcade game in an actual penny arcade has wheel support and force feedback.

Not much, no road feel at all , I do get vibration when I hit something at speed or crash.

At the end of the day i bought a pc so i can have options. It does not matter if you like a pad or a wheel, these bug companies should support the pc properly. I bet they will support the new ps5 and that pad when it comes out, so why not support my G29 and pedals......

I used a wheel for every NFS title from NFS 3: Hot Pursuit+High Stakes+Porsche Unleashed, up until NFS Rivals, the first NFS game since maybe the original or NFS 2 (1997) without wheel support. EA has gone backwards. How were wheels supported better back in 2000 than 2020? Richard Burns Rally has full wheel support and even analog handbrake support.. ANALOG HANDBRAKES DIDN'T EVEN EXIST WHEN THE GAME CAME OUT! DiRT 5 launched with absolutely zero wheel support and I still don't think it's fixed yet.. This is an ongoing problem, wheels are more popular than ever and support is getting worse and worse. Go back 20 years please where every device worked with every game..

Steering Wheel is not about being better, or more precise or simulation.. it's about being 1000 times more fun.
Every arcade racing game had a cabinet with steering wheel... we all probably played a racing game with steering wheel and force feedback for the first time in the arcades.. OutRun, Virtual Racing, Daytona USA etc.. .It has nothing to do with simulation. It's just tremendously more fun. If you have a wheel, you can never go back to play a racing game with a controller or anything else.

Just because you don't own a wheel or like using one doesn't mean us wheel users should be excluded. Like I said, EA supported wheels 20 YEARS AGO, and some of those titles even work with my G29 out of the box, TODAY.

You're right. I had a retro itch some days ago and installed all the old NFS titles.

NFS 1 is a MS-DOS title, I didn't test it.

NFS 2 registers all wheels but had a horrible deadzone you couldn't adjust and no force feedback except on sidewinder wheels.

The first NFS title with proper wheel support was NFS 3 Hot Pursuit. It had good force feedback and deadzone settings for all axis. You can actually feel what the car is doing.

With NFS 4 High Stakes and NFS 5 Porsche it's almost the same. Wheels are working great, even modern ones. Good force feedback and deadzone settings are available for all axis.

The first NFS game where my wheel doesn't really work is Hot Pursuit 2. There, the FFB pulls to the left all the time and the linearity feels much like a gamepad axis. Feels horrible if you know how good the older titles felt.

So the proper wheel support ended, when consoles with analogue gamepads like the PS2 or Xbox came out. Almost all of the NFS games after that had bad wheel support or no wheel support at all.

Thank you for verifying this! It really goes to show EA has been cutting some corners.
