PXN-V3 PRO Steering Wheel

[76561199015197264]

OK so I finally got my steering wheel set up. Only thing is that I cannot get the pedals to work for the gas and brake. I still have to use the keyboard. I have tried everything that I can think of to get them to work and nothing is working. My steering wheel also seems to be too sensitive so I am going all over the road when trying to drive. Did I get a messed up steering wheel or is this normal? I cannot figure out how to get anything to work correctly with it.

It is not the best choice of wheel because it only has 180 degree rotation and ATS and all other racing games support 900 degree rotation. There are better choices but to deal with your question about how to get your wheel working as well as it can I will try to give you some advice and hope it helps.

Make sure your wheel is plugged directly into your computer using a USB2 port and not a USB3 port unless they are the only ones available on your computer. Make sure you download and install the software for your wheel from the manufacturer's site if available.

I just checked and there is software available for your wheel so make sure you download and install it. You can check the function of your wheel in Windows by selecting Control Panel and then select View devices and printers and then right click on your wheel and select Game controller settings and then select Properties.

So basically I got a POS steering wheel. I was also looking at the Thrustmaster Ferrari racing wheel. Is that one any better than the one I have?

Thrustmaster ts-pc racer is a really good wheel if you can afford it. Worth the money IMO. I came from a Logitech G29 wheel, which also is not bad but thrustmaster wins hands down against them. I have the GT wheel with mine and the f1, which does not help with ATS but good for iracing.

It all depends on what games you want to play and how much money you have. Personally, I do not recommend cheaper wheels because you get what you pay for but if that is all you want then that is fine and as long as a wheel has 900 degree rotation it should work in the game. Less than 900 degree rotation wheels will work but as you have found they do not react well but some people are quite happy with them and as long as you remove the in-game steering wheel you won't notice a lot of difference. However, with your wheel being 180 degree rotation it would be very noticeable even if you removed the in-game steering wheel.

If you can afford it then the wheels I recommend are the Thrustmaster TMX or the T150 wheels. Depending on how much you like this game the Pro versions of those wheels would be much better if you would want to also use a shifter to drive the trucks manually.

You can check the forum as there are many many threads about wheels but you will also see that there are many more people who have problems and request help for Logitech wheels than any other sort of wheels so I do not recommend them even though I have the G920 and had the G29. I now have a Thrustmaster T500RS and that is why I recommend Thrustmaster wheels.

So you have many choices of wheel but it depends on the games you want to play and the price you want to pay. If money is your main concern then I suggest you wait and save your money for a good wheel rather than go for the cheaper wheels.

Logitech G920 is fine for ETS2. If G920 cost 200 euro and T150 300 euro, then you are better off getting G920 and 10 ten euro meals.

T150/tmx is normally slightly cheaper than g29 g920. You have to make sure you get an edition with 3 pedals if you plan on eventually getting an h shifter tough.

T300/TX are more expensive than g29 g920 but their fully belt driven ffb is extremely good.

I plan on keeping everything as an automatic. I can do a stick, I just don't like to.

I recently bought the PXN-V3 and have had nothing but trouble on W10. It took hours to get it even marginally functional on one game, Forza 4. I did all the downloading, etc., contacted support who provided nothing but instructions and suggestions I told them I had already tried. I've read other places that the wheel is only recognized as a controller, and that's been my experience, so some of the features are not available. I've yet to be able to make it work with Project Cars 2. Willy's advice is what support recommended but didn't show game controller settings upon right click. It seems to be hit and miss, but I'll probably return this one. I don't play that much and am not interested in springing for a high-end wheel. I'll probably try the TM 458.

The PXN V3 works very well with ATS or ETS2, it has 3 settings for sensitivity, make sure its on its lowest option. You need to set this each time you switch the wheel on. In ATS the wheel sensitivity slider needs to moved down to 3 notches from zero. Use the X-input mode over the D-input mode which gives very smooth steering, you will lose force feedback with this option and 2 additional buttons on the wheel though. If the break is not working then under the Game Controllers setup of Windows reset the defaults and then calibrate again making sure you press break and acceleration for the z-axis.

Thanks for this. Using the X input in lowest sensitivity is really the best setting to get maximum range out of the wheel.

I really appreciate the comment and the specifics. I do have like one or two even more specific questions regarding for instance whether or not it should be setup as a controller or a wheel? And few other things. Is it possible I could message you?

Sent you a friend request. Thx

And it best to remember that this is not a force feedback wheel, instead it uses vibration as it's haptic technology.

Do you know how to edit/customize the controls?
