Steering Sensitivity??

I got this too as my sim city freebie. But it is unplayable.

I have a logitech G27 which does not work, that is to say it registers my actions, but there is not even a default mapping provided to steer left or right...

So i then spent some time setting all these buttons only to figure out

(it even works better in some non racing games, go figure)

So i then tried playing with my keyboard which is impossible because of the input lag and i cannot control the steering sensitivity... ( not to mention ridiculous considering i have a G27)

I'm a racing game enthusiast and the game looks great, I'm just not able to play it.

Great looking game, unable to play it, isn't this why i got this game in the first place?

You get what you payed for i presume...

Hello, I got the same game as a gift from EA because of Simcity (which is excellent by the way but the 'ONLY' online option and the small regions destroys the whole experience for me), also I own the G27 wheelset. 

Regarding the game is not a simulation racer but an arcade, so you should buy a controller which is intended for these games, all brands have, I am currently using the XBox360 for PC. Not so happy with it, as I am trying to find a way or a software for adjusting sensitivity and steering.  

It's a shame this still isn't fixed, if anyone is familiar with the Need For Speed franchise they would know that a wheel is always preferred with these games, although i will admit that this is just a shoddy Burnout clone (thanks Criterion!).

It wouldn't be that much of an issue (cause it's like Burnout) were it not for the fact that they promised good wheel support http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNOhWzx65jI it's around the 39:40 mark, someone asks about control input.

I really hope in a steering sensibility fix on the PC

Fear not damsels in distress, the hero has came at last!

I, Ok Ok, my friend, has found the way to fix this!

Just watch this video and all your problems are history

:heart:Click me!:heart:

I have a Sidewinder Gamepad, a Logitech G25 Steering Wheel and, of course, a standard keyboard. The sensitivity of all this controllers are terrible in this game. The answer of the controls in this game is very, very slow and I do know that the problem is in game's control's engine, because my game is running at 60 fps without frame's losses. Since Need for Speed Pro Street, in other words, since EA created or hired Blackbox Studios, the quality of the games is decreasing. I have Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit from Criterion Games Studios and both games works fine, but in this New Need for Speed Most Wanted the handling of the cars is a big **bleep** that turns the game unplayable. I have all Need for Speed games and until Need for Speed Pro Street, I had no problems, simply install > update > and play. I hope Criterion Games makes a solution for this issue, becuase is very frustrating spend a lot of money in a good PC and the games doesn't works fine.

I have found a fix for this! I am also using an xbox 360 controller.

First of all, some of the input delay I was experiencing was actually reduced by lowering some of the graphics settings. (Which I found surprising. Most games, even if I raise graphics settings to the point of in-game stuttering, the controls would still be spot on, but not so on this game. Reducing shadows and other settings to lower levels actually helped a lot.)

But I still found that changing direction of a turn was painfully, unrealistically slow.

I fixed this by going to www.tocaedit.com and downloading: NFSMW2012 Realistic Plugin.

As well as x360ce, which is a 360 controller emulator. (I know it's a weird thing to download when you are actually using a 360 controller already.)

Follow the instructions for the realistic plugin (checking the box for raw input is what actually does it) and in game now it turns really well... Too well actually, as I can now go left to right to left instantly. Whereas in a car it would take a moment to turn the wheel. But it's waaaay better than before which was like a granny slowly turning a huge boat wheel.

The realisitc plugin does other things but I haven't checked it out yet. Also I am trying to tweak it to get things more realistic but not sure if I'll be able to. Either way it is now much easier to control the cars. But watch out as you can now go left, right, left, right and spin out. :D

Forgot to mention. I had to also update microsoft visual C++ to get the plugin to work. As it kept asking for msvcp110.dll, and msvcr110.dll.

This fix should work with any joystick type controller like a gamepad. But it should work equally good with a wheel.

Now if only there was a mod to let you switch gears manually.

I just got this game free from origin, and the steering is horribly sensitive, the file in that video isn't in my game folder, any other ideas  ?,

I had the same exact issue, Alabamatick.  I gave up on it initially, but decided to fiddle with the settings a bit.  After changing the keyboard commands in the settings, the Control file showed up!  So try messing with the Key Bindings, and that might just do the trick.
