XBOX 360 CONTROLLER

I read the wiki and It states, you should just be able to plug in and play.

How ever when I used my plug n play kit I get no response, anyone else have this issue and have a fix?

 

You need a Hard wired XBox 360 controller you can't use a wireless controller with a play and charged kit. I use a hardwired XB 360 controller to play Beam NG it easier than the keyboard hope this helps.

 

That would of been helpful a long time ago lol, now I have to dig through boxes to find my hardwired xbox controller

 

Is it a charger kit for the wireless controller?

Sorry, but those only work for re-charging, not playing on the computer with, regardless the game.

To play on the PC with an xbox controller you need one of the following two

• Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows
• Xbox 360 Wired Controller

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the above reply, it was sent while I made mine.

 

Yes its easier to use A hard wired controller than the keyboard. You can use a wireless controller but need a microsoft wireless receiver hope this helps.

 

I happen to have a slight problem with my controller. I'm using Ps3 controller, yes, but I'm using a program which tricks my computer to think that it's a Xbox controller. It works in every other game (and I've tried it in multiple games and it works just fine), but here... nothing happens.

 

You will have to make a custom .input file for your PS3 controller. That I do not know how to do sorry. Try to make a another thread for your question this topic pertains to the xBox 360 Controller. Then maybe the dev's and or the community will answer your question hope this helps.

 

I have a 3rd party wired 360 controller set up to work with my computer, but it doesn't do anything. Does it have to be a microsoft controller?

 

No, it doesn't have to be M$ branded. Try this: http://www.beamng.com/threads/1473-Post-Your-Inputmaps!?p=22610#post22610

 

I have noticed that the controller needs to be connected to the PC and turned on before you start the game. This is using the wireless one. I guess the same is true for the wired

 

I plugged in my x360 controller before starting the game, but the game doesnt react to any of the buttons. Is there something i need to do first to get this game to recognize the controller. It works for every other game out there. I hate playing racing games without a controller.

EDIT: I have the controller working now......except steering.

 

INB4 "MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD!!!"

Check the input map thread linked above. If it's not an official x360 controller it may need a custom map. Idk if Motioninjoy (google it) works for 3rd party x360 controller... may be worth a try. If you have a PS3 use that controller with Motioninjoy + x360 setting. Hardwired (not wireless) official x360 controllers should be plug and play. Read some threads here as well.... oh and make your own thread next time. : )

 

is there anything i can do to adjust the sensitivity? i mean when you try to rally it keeps yacking the wheel which result in a crash

 

sorry didn't noticed it. but i tried the linearity thing but wont help
