Hello there,

Has anybody managed to set up a logitech wheel with motorm4x? The problem seems to be that both accelerator and brake have to be on the same axis, meaning that I both accelerate and brake on the same pedal, with a null zone at somewhere near half depressed, which makes for some interesting driving.

Is there a way to bind both pedals to the same axis? This would probably be the simple solution.

Sorry for asking here, but I cant seem to find any official support channels for the game. The developer's website has gone, and the publishers website doesn't mention the game anywhere. I wish steam would just set up a support forum for every game on the service.

Ignore this, I was being stupid. the axes were reversed, so the accelerator and brake were both on when the pedals were released. When I pressed the brake pedal, the brakes released, which made me think I was accelerating.

It's been a long day.

I had to set mine to combined in the logitech configuration, then map them in the menu.
Brilliant game, I love the rock crawling. They did a great job with engine braking, lockers, gas usage etc.
The open world layout is nice too, pick your own path.

I've had a lot of fun with it so far, although I've only done the tutorial and a couple of events. I seem to spend most of my time just exploring the map. It's nice to see a sim with a different take on gameplay for once, and the almost extortionate repair prices certainly make you think twice about doing something stupid.

The repairs and fuel make the game a lot more fun, a little less casual. Running out of fuel during an event since you forgot to refill your tank and reserve tanks has the proper effect on you. LOL
Cranked this up yesterday, I forgot how much I love the Trials/rock crawling events. Wish it had a cockpit view, but the hood isn't that bad.
