Why not support controllers??There should be many players using the Xbox controller to play

A real shame. They said the game would be playable with controllers day one.

What?
I´m playing ACC with a controller just fine.
I hoped I could do the same here.
Sad.

Looking at some streams the gamepad section is greyed out... What a let down. I was looking forward to try it today, did not expect they will keep that lock out for a later update as it was mention in one of their trailer that the footage was recorded using a gamepad...

I think it may be a just a steam clerical mistake. Anyway a bit pointless right now, the game crashes when you load any track so it's not playable.

ARE CONTROLLERS SUPPORTED?
Yes! The way controllers work in Le Mans Ultimate has been reworked compared to past Studio 397 titles with the aim of making the game as accessible as possible and also bringing vibration support.

After an hour of testing, works out of the box, despite my initial fears. Menu seems to detect what equipment you have and just grey out the rest (for example I have wheel greyed out).

Works well, but no controller to navigate in the menu for now, you have to use mouse/kb). Still trying to figure out all settings and their meaning (not sure what center, max left and max right mean, when pressing them not much seem to happen), even though it is a bit "light" on the calibration side.

There is no linearity settings for instance, but it feels as if there is something changing the wheel rate based on speed. I could not find yet if we can change that.

But on the positive side, there is opposite lock assist in the general gameplay tab, which helps to have a pseudo-FFB behavior for controller (i.e. it will counter steer a bit by itself in certain situation just as you would feel on a wheel and smooth out janky movement).

More testing later...

@shadow (and all)
Do you have RF2?
And if so, is driving with the controller similar or are there significant changes?

I am playing it with xBox One controller. Steering is just fine like in ACC, Rfactor2 or Automobilista.
