    normally i play with my ps4 contoller but i broke it so i took my xbox 360 controller but it is always steering a litle to the left. this makes the game unplayable, also i looked into calibrating it on my pc, i recalibrated it and windows says its fine but in game its still going left. (i did turn )off game before calibrating

    It could be that the analog stick doesn't fully center itself, thus making the car steer left

    Play around with the deadzone. You can see the steering is moved to the left in BeamNG

    the annalog stick does fully senter (according to windows game controller check tingy)
    but maybe beamng gets its values somewhere else?

    okey rhe ting is, its no regular xbox controller, its a wheel for the xbox (which is configured like an xbox controller) so a deadzone would make it very notisable plus i cant steer much to the right at all and a lot to the left but is there no way to recalibrate a controller in beamng?

    Well, other than fiddling by yourself with the deadzones & linearity, not really

    It's visible from here that your resting positing is very off.

    You need to increase the 'deadzone (rest)' until the orange part covers that dot (dot indicates your thumbstick current position, anything in the orange space will be considered as 0/no input from the game)

    That's not a thing with xbox controller.
    Can you post a screenshot on how you set up your deadzone now?

    There's something really weird.
    The deadzones are incredibly huge. Also note sure why you added the 'END' deadzone, you should only need the 'REST' ones.
    In the first screenshot you are at resting position, and it shows the dot in-game being pretty offset.
    In the second screenshot you are moving the thumbstick all the way to the right, but in-game it's not all the way to the right, it's barely at 15%.


    Is that an original controller?
    Can you reset the settings (Controls > Binding > Reset ALL button, then go to Steam Big Picture's mode > Settings > Controller setting and uncheck everything. Sometimes those things can cause problems like that. Then check if the controller works better.

    What controller is that exactly? (exact model).

    The game gets the data from the system.
    If Windows and the game gets different results, it means something in-between is doing that (that's why I suggested to check the Steam settings, which is one of these 'in-between' things that sometimes does this kind of things)
