you have to set the game to use a controller in the settings menu.

At least that was the issue for me.

When you open the game you need to select 'main menu' which is top left. On the next screen click the gear icon on the left for options - all settings are in there.

Big Picture Mode -> Settings -> check the box next to Xbox Controller Support. Launch Assetto Corsa while in Big Picture Mode.
If you've already taken this route, you need to save a controller preset in-game. You'll just enter a name for it, save it, and when you load into a track, you'll see a couple popups on the bottom right confirming the preset has been applied. Then you should be able to drive! :)

If the gas works that means it's connected. Did you mess with the gamma settings (controller tab)? You won't be able to turn if the slider is too far right or left.

I'd suggest going into Documents>Assetto Corsa>cfg and deleting "controllers tab" (this will delete any presets you've made btw). Verify the game cache using steam to get original files back. You can delete the whole assetto corsa folder from the documents tab to reset everything.

I'm sure you've already tested if your controller works on other games properly so I suggest you download "Assetto corsa content manager" (it's free), go to settings > assetto corsa > controls.
And make sure your input method is gamepad. "combine with keyboard" is ticked. And made sure the controller preset is "X360 default" (built in presets tab bottom right next to save preset button).

Test it and see if it works

@Pizza... yeah it kinda works, everything works when Im driving but I still cant move in menu or customize binds.
When I press a button it says that it does and I see it but still cant bind it to another button. (Handbreak)

There are numbers for the keys from 1- 16 and if i press any button it shows it

I'm not sure what you mean that you can't move in the menu. Are you trying to use the controller when you press ESC or when you boot the game?
The game only uses the controller to control the car. You have to use your mouse to navigate through the menus. It's a simulator thing...

Get content manager and do the steps I've laid out in my previous comment. It has more options and will make sure to "force" the key bindings you've set up as long as you saved your preset.

Same problem, while in VR I have no way to pause the game, pull up and navigate any menu / UI, nor even terminate a race. Starting a race goes like this, I have to use my mouse to start the race via the menu at my PC monitor and then as fast as I can sit in my rig with mouse in hand because there is also no way to reset the VR View (I've bound Look Left and Look Right to buttons on my wheel and pressing them together doesn't reset the view) when your head position, which you can't adjust, is established, then I have to use my mouse on my Fanatec DD1 as a mouse surface to start the race, also the UI is literally unreadable, incredibly small font, and then there is no way to bring up a menu, or exit a race whatsoever, Esc on the keyboard doesn't work, the only way to exit the race is to get up and go to the PC desk take off my VR HMD and press Ctrl+Win+D to switch to desktop and then right click and terminate the associated process.

I can't believe none of these issues were never addressed, from the lack of controller support, to the abysmal VR support.

I reinstalled this game to drive the C7 Corvette Stingray, which I'm thinking about picking up used, I think after a few more labs around Nurburgring I'm going to uninstall this, I woke up this morning with back-pan from all of the back and forth in and out of the racing rig cockpit every ten minutes (practice, qualify, race, have an accident, rinse and repeat).

On the plus side, good lord does this game look incredibly sharp in the Bigscreen Beyond with a 4090 (maxed out), I can run it 4xxx by 4xxxx resolution and it's miles sharper than ACC. It looks incredible.
