Driving Set-Ups / Controllers

[MarkAlbert1219]

Wasn't too sure where to post this since I don't post often, but I was just trying to get some info on how everyone set's up the way they drive...

 

I am currently running with a Logitech F310 controller and have had some fairly decent success with it. I was happy with it, but I wanted more, so I bought a steering wheel/pedal/shifter combination. Can't remember the brand right now..... 

 

I'm planning to set it up on my desk similar to how a monster truck cab would be with the steering wheel in the center with the shifter (which I plan to map as the rear steering) on the right. Pedals on the floor obviously. 

 

Just wondering what everyone else uses that they have found success with, and if they have any pointers that would make the set-up work better.

 

Any input is appreciated.

I use a PS3 controller that with a program, the buttons are mapped to a key on my keyboard. What's interesting with this setup is that steering and gas is all or nothing, so it's either full throttle or nothing, and steer all the way or nothing.

I am a proud user of the g27 logitech wheel i must say i have had a lot of success with it i love it i feel like mark colineri just not as good

Xbox 360 wired controller is what I have used mainly used for racing ROR. I have a G27 that I still need to put some practice time in with but steering wheel feels more natural but a the sametime I feel slower. Might just be placebo effect but I plan on using it regardless for SMRA coming up soon. I run 270-320 degree of rotation on the wheel and have my rear steer mapped to the left and right black buttons on the shifter module and shifting is the top and bottom black buttons (the actual H shifter is meh and I do not like running it as a sequential)

Used to be a keyboard user, as of recently I've been using a Logitech Dual Action Controller

I use a g27, 900 of rotation with no feedback what so ever. I love it. My rear steer is the two red buttons on the left of the shifter. I change gears with the 4 buttons on top. Cant get dpad to work for some reason. I would you use the dpad for rear steer. Change view with buttons on wheel.

I use a wireless Xbox controller with front steer on the right joystick and rear steer on the D-pad. I know, I'm weird

I use an xbox 360 wired controller, works wonders. But from what i hear a G27 is the way to go but I don't think i could ever get used to using one lol

I don't usually play anymore, but I've only used a wheel, since I'm horrible at using anything else. I've tried controller, I've tried keyboard, I just find wheel to be the way for me. I may not have a G27, but this Driving Force GT works for me.

My set-up hasn't changed at all since this video, other than the gaming PC that I built.

I use the logitech profiler, made a profile for rigs of rods. You have to browse for the application open icon in the files for the game. Then go to edit, and then go to the bottom one. Change the degrees to 900.

Any questions, add me on steam and lets chat there.
