New to AC and really enjoying it but I've got a slight issue that is eluding my finding a solution.
I don't have a steering wheel setup, but I do have controllers that I use with Flight Simulators ... a programmable joystick, throttle and rudder pedals. The joystick and throttle are useless for AC, but the pedals DO work as throttle and brake -- the "toe brake" functions on the right and left pedals map onto the throttle and brake just fine.
I've got an XBox360-type Controller that I'm using as the steering and shifter controls. I've mapped the "Gyro" from the XBox controller to the steering axis, and it works reasonably well. Clearly it's not as good as using a dedicated steering wheel, but it's not awful by any means and I have had reasonable success with it.
In order for the above setup to work, I need to use the CUSTOM controls in AC since the XBox control preset doesn't recognize the pedals or allow mapping the steering to the gyro. So far so good ... but under this configuration, there is no vibration transmitted to the XBox controller.
If I select XBox controller in the game setup, the vibration DOES work, but of course, nether the pedals nor the gyro are recognized.
So ... my question is ... is there a way to enable / transmit vibration to the XBox controller when using it as part of the custom setup?? Having the vibration definitely adds to the experience in AC, but driving using the XBox controller setup is an exercise in frustration.
Thanks in advance for your help !!
