How to play with xBox 360 Controller

Here, I'll show you how to play Burnout Paradise with a XBox 360 Controller, when it doesn't work at the first time.

First you have to...

1. Start the Game
2. Go to Paradise City
3. Click on Paradise Cars/Bikes/...
4. Choose your Car/Bike/...

When you're ingame...

1. Press ESC
2. Double press F2
3. Control Settings

Then...

1. Connect your controller to your PC / Mac / Whatever

If your Controller is NOT listed under "Active Controllers"...

1. Click on a random keyboard control in the list | For example A (accelerate)
2. Bind it to a random button on your gamepad | For example RT
3. Continue with the next step

If your Controller is listed under "Active Controllers"...

1. Click on it
2. Use default Settings

I hope I could help you and...

if you have some questions, you can ask me!

I know I'm late af, but I plugged in my controller and it "just works".

would this work with a ps4 controller?

Great guide. For @PVT Autistic and anyone else who has the issue, just follow the steps for rebinding each input manually. I encountered this specific error message when trying to use my XBox One Controller, and telling the game which inputs meant what worked without a problem.

It says "Sorry, there are no default controls available for the controller (XBOX 360 For Windows). please configure your controller manually

If you enter big picture mode on steam and enable xbox controller support it should atomatically detect your controller

[Gank Hill]

honestly toss this onto the pile of reasons to never give EA your money

i also don't see controls.ini or default.ini files in the game folder

Can anyone help me out? I'm unable to bind controls with my controller. The controller works just fine with other games tho.
