DiRT 3 How set up a wheel?
Problem
How do you set up a controller in DiRT 3?
Solution
Firstly make sure that your controller is plugged in and functioning correctly in Windows and that you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the device from the manufacturer’s website. You should also ensure that no schemes or profiles are running for your controller. If you are using a steering wheel, we recommend that you set the pedal axes to “separate” rather than combined. This can be done using the software for the wheel itself (e.g. Logitech’s Wingman software).
From the game’s main menu, select options – controls.
a) Here you can choose between automatic and manual transmission and choose your Advanced Wheel Settings if using a wheel (see notes below).
b) If you have one of the officially supported controllers (see notes below) you can choose to load a preset configuration for this device, or for the keyboard, or
c) If you wish to create your own custom settings or setup an unrecognised controller, scroll down to each function you want to re-define and press enter, then move your controller or press the button you wish to use. The new function should now appear in the list.
d) Do this for all of the functions you wish to change and, when you are happy with the settings, press escape
e) If you wish to adjust your force or vibration settings, you can do this from the Vibration and Feedback menu.
Notes:
i) In the Advanced Wheel Settings, Dead Zone is the amount you can steer the wheel (or press a pedal) before it has any effect. Saturation is the amount you can steer the wheel before it reaches full lock.
