    First successful lap around Baja Hills in the Custom 200BX:


    Best attempt thus far at getting DrowsySam's Bora up Pike's Peak:

    ( ^ Crash happens right at the end for the impatient :p)

    I initially bought it hoping I'd be able to rotate my thumb around the right touch pad to manipulate a virtual steering wheel, but I found an even better solution (though I'd still like the above to be implemented at some point).

    Honestly, the fidelity in the motion control is better than I ever expected. It is controlled by rolling the controller left and right 80 degrees from vertical to translate to the vehicle's entire range of steering. It's a little tight and twitchy at times, but I never thought I'd be able to drive like this without shelling out for a racing wheel.

    Is anyone else driving with the Steam Controller? What are you thoughts, experiences? Personally I haven't touched my Xbox controller or keyboard since.

    The Steam Pad works fine with BeamNG.Drive, I tried that some time ago.
    If you open Steam in Big Picture mode, go to BeamNG.Drive and then in Controller Configuration, you can select 'PRESETS'. Which are community-made presets for BeamNG.Drive. There is a lot of variety. From those using the touchpads for steering, to one allowing you to steer with the gamepad gyro.
