Re: Steering wheel compatibility

Thanks for your quick response. I will try to reinstall the game then disconnect everything and try with the wheel, but I don't have many hopes because mine is not Logitech. It is Thrustmaster 300rs.

I know of that option, it is the live tuning button however for me it doesn't pop up. I tried with all the buttons from the wheel, starting with the D-pad down. Then I also tried with the default keyboard button for that but is not popping up. Maybe just later in game with other cars? I have no clue.

About the x360ce I already tried it, I am able to drive with that but I cannot bypass the game original feedback through it. If I enable it, the game won't start. So I can only use the feedback which comes with x360ce, which is actually a feedback translated from a controller and it's not even 5% as good as it should feel in a racing game with a wheel. For example in NFS 2015 the wheel feedback was excellent. Also in The Run. If a modder would be able to import that into Payback would be great, but small chances... Cheers mate!

    Look at this link. It works pretty much the same for payback:

    The buttons and axis can be selected/programmed in the "general" tab of Controller 1. A bit of trail and error. I had to try a few times before I selected the right button.

    And make sure you do exactly as in the video in the "game settings" tab.

    It worked for me,and still does.

    Yes, thanks! As I mentioned I already had the x360ce set up previously, but the problem is that if I enable in the Advanced tab the Pass Through force feedback, then the game doesn't load anymore.

    Instead if I use in the Force Feedback tab the PeriodicSine ffb, thew game is playable but the wheel motion and feedback is not realistic.

    So the only choice for me would be to buy this expensive device https://collectiveminds.ca/shop/allconsoles/drivehub/ , but I am not sure if my PC would see my Thrustmaster wheel as a Logitech. Anyway this device is way more expensive than the game. And all this trouble because they were not able to make the Thrustmaster wheel compatible with the PC as they did it in NFS 2015 or The Run.
