Driver San Francisco and FANATEC on Xbox

[RACETOTAL]

I was playing the demo yesterday and I thought it was a fun arcade game. I had problems using the shift function in my Fanatec though. I was wondering if the wheel is missing one of the Xbox buttons or if the game is bugged. I cannot move the map up or down, making it hard to select the car I want.
Did anyone play it on a wheel yet and tried it? I want to buy the game, but I want it to work properly.

Q&A

Can the game be played with a steering wheel controller?

No, it can’t and the reason for this is that driving the cars in Driver is very different to driving in a racing game. The inputs necessary for weaving between the traffic and throwing the car into constant 90 degree bend slides is seriously hard work. The game is actually bordering on impossible to play on any kind of force feedback steering wheel and even a lighter sprung loaded wheel leaves the player sweating after just one mission!:ohmy:


According to Steam the game will support X360 Controller, Logitech Momo Racing Force Feedback steering wheel, Thrustmaster Rally GT Force Feedback Pro Clutch Edition steering wheel, Thrustmaster Ferrari GT 2-in-1 Force Feedback steering wheel, Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience 3-in-1 steering wheel, Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 Force Feedback steering wheel, Thrustmaster Universal Challenge 5-in-1 steering wheel . :?:

Well a MOMO does not work so I guess they do. ?

You can get a lot of wheels to steer and use buttons as a Momo will.

NOT PEDALS ...... and wtf use is that. ;)

They are right on the point that arcade games saw steering wheels.

I was pointing the fact that they think it would be physically too demanding, which is their excuse for not supporting wheels ;)

Main point imo it causes too much stress on a wheel.

Momo the gear drive can get hot and wear because of all the right left right.

All arcade are the same.

Like use a Momo for nothing but Gymkhana in Dirt3 see how it is in a few months. :laugh:

Yeah ;-) Treat a Momo with kid gloves they not too bad.
I remember online V8 race years back I destroyed one in about 10 laps of intense racing just got carried away. :-(

:laugh:

I did countless laps around Abu Dhabi and Adelaide with one (Before my G27) for the World V8 Supercars Series over at RD and had no problems at all ! Playing with a good FFB of course ;)
