Controls

From the forum threads I guess people have been able to play this game but I'm not sure how.

Trying to play with a T300 and a DS4 controller. Touching a key on either of them disables all mouse input in the menus. I can't seem to get it back on the main menu. Navigating some menus with wheel/controller was fine, others were very awkward and others just plain impossible(like key remapping). It was impossible to change the calibration of whichever controller was not the top one in the list.

Started the tutorial, Y-axis on the controller was inverted despite having corrected it in the main menu. Changed it from the in-game menu and it was still inverted, up runs backwards(look is stuck inverted too). Tried several ways to correct this before giving up. Used DS4windows to tell the system my controller was an Xbox pad. That corrected the walking/looking even though It was showing me keyboard instructions for what buttons to push.

Got in the truck, managed to start it. Couldn't drive because the pedals are inverted. I found I was able to use the mouse when pausing in-game at least until touching another control, so I could get into the correct calibration to invert my pedals(which I thought I had already done). Okay, gas & brake work but there's no force feedback. Go to the main menu where there was feedback before and there's now nothing.

I thought maybe the multiple control schemes were messing with that, so I unplugged the controller and tried with just the wheel. This time I couldn't get the truck into gear, had to map that button(which didn't disable the gearshifts activating the turn signals). Still no FFB. Return to the menu and it's disabled there as well.

It's also forcing me to use the brake to drive in reverse, if I shift into reverse and press the gas it just goes into first. I think it may be locked to some sort of "keyboard players can't use a gearbox" mode but I can't find anything to correct it.

I've tried a couple more times and nothing I do makes any of this work. I've set the steering controls to "wheel" and adjusted the sliders and options in that menu. I just can't make this game work well enough to even see if it's enjoyable once you get out of the parking lot.

I've looked around every menu I can find but don't see any option I'm missing that might affect this. I might still be missing something but I guess I'll just have to assume it's not compatible with my old but extremely common wheel, on top of having a very poor way of dealing with multiple controllers.

It’s early doors.
I was using my G29 setup. It worked straight up without me doing anything inc indicators. No FFB though.
I had to use my mouse etc to pan around and look.
I also found that I had to go into reverse (I was using automatic gears not doing anything with an early game) to then press acceleration to go forward. If I pressed the accelerator first it wouldn’t go forward.
So I tried my PC Xbox game pad and it was the exact same as per above default.
I’m sure some of the buttons it tells you to press on the pad are incorrect also in the tutorial.

Anyway, let’s see what they come back with. My biggest gripe was how bad the vehicles lights are, AI does some crazy things and loading a save game spawned 2 vans!

And I can't even map the keys to rotate the cargo on the crane in the tutorial. I had the keys set up, but the cargo wasn't rotating, so I couldn't position it correctly for unloading. I tried other keys and nothing either.

I also have G29 and as you write FFB nothing.

When driving through an intersection on green it reported me running a red light on two occasions.
