Not great with microsoft xbox 360 Controller or Wheel.

[Doyefeellucky]

Purchased the game during the sale hoping the game would be compatible with the Microsoft Xbox 360 steering wheel(this wheel is outstanding with GTR2,GTL on PC & all the xbox games of Forza).
Unfortunately, just like Shift 2, the game doesn't recognise the wheel axis correctly and you end up with 'non-detection' from center to around 50* either side.

Had to use a standard wireless xbox controller. The game is playable with the controller, however the progression on the steering is shocking- move a few millimeters and your fine, move a bit more and your suddenly close to full lock despite there still being movement left in the controller resulting in a powerslide through the corner with a loss of speed, or a complete spin-out.
In the game RACE07 you can adjust the progression of the controller through the full motion of left and right and works great.

I still like the game and will continue where I can, but wont be persevering with the harder challenges(which means most of them with Pro driving model) until I get a compatible steering wheel.

If anybody has a fix of some sort for this wheel or controller it would be greatly appreciated.

Post your wheel settings and we might be able to help. I'm using a T500RS and don't have a problem.

The crux of the problem is that the game does not recognise it as a steering wheel. So when you assign steer left for example you get 'left thumbstick: Left' instead of what you'd expect 'joy axis -X/+X'.
Anyway my custom wheel settings are: Steering sensitivity and Deadzone are both 0. Speed sensitivity is 100. I've tried used a variety of Steering lock settings.
I still get non-detection from centre to approx 50*.

And you've tried using the 'custom wheel' option?

It may look that I'm digging this topic out of grave, but this one is almost on top of Google results and is missing one important point: try to set force feedback to 0. Tried it for Xbox Controller and it made steering almost completely smooth (still with lag, especially on chicanes, but finally acceptable one). Before that it tried to 'digitalize' in-game wheel turn degree to one of - let's say - 5, 20, 40, 60, 90, 100 degrees (and if I had my analog in position right 'between' two angles, it could turn sharply in unexpected moment to second angle, causing less stable cars to lose grip and get off track).

My current settings:
all deadzones: 5
steering sensitivity: 70
throttle / brake sensitivity: 50
force feedback: 0
