To do this, go to your racing wheel manufacturer's website and you should be able to find the correct drivers to get your steering wheel working.
Sadly theres nothing at that old price point anymore with PC and console compatibility: the G27 is still being sold but more expensive than the G25 was with no PS4 support, Fanatec makes a couple of wheels in that price range with also only PC/PS3 support.
At this point, you may need to install your racing device's software in order for it to be recognised. In PC sims the T100 would be quite a big step down from your old G25.
Next, connect the wheel to your PC using a free USB port. Start by attaching your pedals, and gear stick if you have one, to your racing wheel, then plug the wheel in via the power adapter. This method might be slightly different depending on your device as you may be required to take a few extra steps to set up your wheel correctly.
In most cases, you'll need to make sure your controller remains off at this point.Īgain, you should be all set up now, but to make any changes, go into your in-game settings and adjust the configuration to your preference, for example, you can normally change your wheels sensitivity and dead zones. I find myself playing more Assetto than anything else after I got my wheel.Next, switch on your console and connect your Xbox controller via a USB to the racing wheel. I can send you my settings for an XB1 controller on PC, should get you in the ballpark with a DS4)įrom most gamepad friendly to most: DriveClub > pCARS1 (if you look up the right settings) > Assetto Corsa. If you're looking for simcade, I think pCARS will get the job done (again, it's unplayable without getting the control sliders right. You can't go wrong with any of the 3 in the title for as cheap as they should be right now. The learning curve is much more forgiving if you want something you can just hop into.Įverything I've seen makes me think pCARS2 will be the next racing game I get deep into. It's also the most arcadey of the 3 if that's what you're looking for. Beautiful, but I feel the racing is the least satisfying. You'll have to look up slider settings to make it playable with a controller.ĭriveClub is pretty sterile. I think pCARS1 is the most fun out of the 3 you list. Project Cars 2 is supposed to fix the issue many had with its physics, and they put a lot more work into controller handling this time around. It's the best sim racer on your list, just not very flashy. To be honest, I'd be skeptical about Project Cars 2's controller support after playing the first one.Īssetto is the most realistic, but i highly recommend a wheel, and the presentation isn't great. GT sport looks to be heavily online orientated and Project cars 2 looks like Project cars but with more racing styles. I prefer it to its predecessor, Dirt Rally which is also a great game but very unforgiving. If you like rally games then it's highly recommended. There's Rallycross and Landrush modes which have you competing against other cars but it's primarily a singular experience.
It looks beautiful and with the season pass you get tons of cars with a fairly decent amount of tracks.ĭirt 4 works great with a controller but it's purely a rally only experience. If you don't care about those kind of things then the driving model is sublime.ĭriveclub is definitely the most arcadey title and works very well with a controller. It is great with a wheel.Īssetto Corsa is very playable with a controller but the presentation and content is very bare bones. I tried all kinds of configurations recommended from various forums but it always felt off. It has multiple options for tweaking the controller but none of them have ever worked for me. Project cars isn't great with a controller even though it has a good roster of cars and plenty of tracks.
