Controller Mapping on PC
I am trying to use the PC trial, and cannot use either of my preferred controller methods, a Logitech Driving Force GT steering wheel or a DualShock 4 controller via the utility DS4Windows. I caught...

@WeissachWaifu The game recognizes your ps4 controller as a generic wireless controller and is applying some weird button mapping to it. It happens for many of EA's games and controller when not using xbox controller.
For your ps4 controller you need to use third party software to make the game think you are using a xbox controller.
DS4windows is maybe the most well known these days however I find that one to stop working too often due to it being prone to not getting exclusive control over the controller
Personally Im using something called x360ce (alpha - beta version) which I find more reliable than DS4windows and the normal x360ce emulator.
Using these software you will also have the ability to map any buttons to another button. So for example the game uses left stick for steering and right stick for camera. In these software you can switch it around having left stick control right stick and visa versa effectively making it possible to steer with right stick and control the camera with the left stick in game. In other words you can remap the entire controller layout even tho its not possible in game.
edited to indicate I'm answering op
@3DiE9djua2 i am using a xbox controller as said in my post above not a ps4 one. the mappings arnt weird they are just not good. gear change buttons are lb and rb which means you have to use your middle fingers for throttle and brake and index fingers for gear changing which is terrible. i normally change gear changing to the right analog stick up and down which is super comfortable and allow you to use your index fingers for throttle and brake which is alot easier and more precise
sorry, i was responding to the op. I forgot to mention him.
But isnt the setup the same that nfs has always used?
I think its possible to use the mentioned softwares for any controller to remap buttons out side games.
So in theory you should be able to also remap your xbox controller to have right stick act as the shoulder buttons ingame allowing you to shift gears as you like.
however I havent tried it myself so I can't guarantee it. Maybe the x360ce is better than ds4windows (which more dedicated to dual shock)
- @3DiE9djua2 algood haha forgot what post i was on anyway thought this was my 1 but its been removed. thats cool tho. is something i might look into or im gna have to use auto transmission i think
