    Hi, I just bought BeamNG.Drive and i wanted to use the wheel i was playing forza with on my xbox. I installed the driver, my firmware is updated to version 7 and i did all that was said to fix my problem on the BeamNG support web pages (unchecking things in bigpictures and settuping the force feedback options on my control panel). Steam is showing my device on its parameters but BeamNG is still not showing it on the game. Been searching for solutions for 5 hours straight now and I'm about to lose it. PLEASE HELP ME. Runnig a Dell pc with windows 10.

    Update : I found out that we have to set each button in steam bigpicture for beamng to recognize them. So my steering wheel now works fine but now i've got no force feedback on it.... and yes i checked the https://wiki.beamng.com/Steering_wheel_setup#Common_problems_and_solutions link...

    oh and also, my steering start turning at 17% : it does 0 to 17 and then works fine.

    I would turn anything Steam off, that thing messes up so easily everything.

    I put here few pics, which give you my settings with T150, which should be pretty much same as TMX:

    These should give quite good feeling of understeer for general driving and racing use, 150 smoothing is bit high, but that is for Autobello and Automation exports, other cars do fine with smoothing set to 100

    By default controls are not binded, so you need to click plus sign in controls next to steering axis and then turn the wheel, then change settings and finally click apply, same for throttle and brake.

    In Steam, right click BeamNG.drive and select properties, then setting forced off to steam control stuff avoids usually most issues:

    For example I could not type ingame search boxes before disabling all that steam related control stuff.

    Oh and with steering wheel have this filter pages set this way so that everything is off:

    Now if you set everything exactly like I have, then in theory you should have working wheel with good FFB that is not clipping constantly under normal heavy cornering.
