What boggles me about controllers is that the game definitely recognizes an "incompatible" controller (Logitech MOMO Racing wheel): It's name shows up in the controller configuration, and I can bind the pedals, wheel and buttons to the controls, but yet the game refuses to actually use those bindings.
Imho a steering wheel shouldn't need special support anyways. If Windows recognizes it and can calibrate it, you should be able to use it in a game, regardless of how old the wheel actually is!
