Step-by-step Guide for Setup of Unsupported Steering Wheel Devices in DiRT Rally

Recommended Posts

1.      Connect all your devices and start the game.

2.      Find ‘Direct Input Device’ in the Choose Preset within the Controls menu.

3.      Next press F1 to change the ‘Direct Input Device’ type to [Steering Wheel] and press ‘Return/Enter’ on the keyboard to confirm.

4.      Now assign all controls, as required and the Advanced Wheel Settings option will appear.

5.      Go to Advanced Wheel Settings, select Calibrate Device and complete the process.

6.      Return to the Main Menu, select Profile, Driver Details and select Save Profile.

7.      The next time you re-launch the game, at the title screen press ‘Return/Enter’ on the keyboard rather than a button on any of the connected devices. After the title screen you are okay to use any device as normal.

Note Step 3: If more than one ‘Direct Input Device’ is connected, then change all their types to [Steering Wheel] and this will ensure that when you bind your controls the correct Advanced Wheel Settings menu will be displayed.

 Note Step 7: Pressing ‘Return/Enter’ on the keyboard at the title screen should prevent the issue that some users are experiencing, when their device bindings are lost and the game reverts to the default preset.

I think I still have the issue with Note Step 7. If I hit enter on my keyboard it defaults back to keyboard controls and I have to set up my GT2 again.

Hi Code masters. I joined this site purely so that I can ask you guys directly why the FFB is so bad!! I have a Simsteering DD wheel by Leo bodnar and the FFB is that bad that the game is virtually unplayable for me.  I need to find out how to setup the FFB for a DD wheel. The game supports my wheel so why the hopeless FFB. Or is it just the settings that I need to fine tune!

Cheers

Andrew

Hi. I bought the Fanatec CSR system for PS4. Are you will support the Fanatec wheel for Dirt Rally Ps4 version ?

Hi guys and girls. Does anyone know what settings would suit for a Leo bodnar simsteering dd wheel as the settings on mine are pretty terrible at standard. I'm going to play around turning some of the wheel settings off. There are so many different variables to change. 

Cheers

I'm hoping you can help me. I am trying your instructions but I am having trouble :(
When I go to step 2, I don't see "Direct Input Device". I only see Keyboard (azerty) and Keyboard as the options. 

I have a madcatz pro racing wheel. 
Thanks in advance for your response/help
