Is there support for wheels such as g27

Title says it all. I heard no manual, so i am concerned.

The game didn't detect my Thrustmaster wheel nor did it have any option to select any kind of wheel configuration so I set it up manually; would like to see native support in the final game which i'll no doubt pick up when its a little cheaper.

Works fine with my G27

Yup tried it last night. Works fine, but FF seems a little 'light' with the default settings. Really wish i could use the shifter tho, but not a real big deal.

Please post more details on the wheel options and feel of the ffb. Is there an ffb strength setting? Is there a setting for steering weight, linearity, deadzone, etc?

Advanced wheel options on G27 are the same as DiRT 3 so you get all those options isamu99

Most all racing games of late have gotten really bad about only supporting the 360 controller. Wheel support when there, is not well done. Same with the camera views. Everyone has their fav but the developers are too lazy to implement them.

Yea pretty much the same as dirt 3. you get FF strength, FF weight, and another setting i cant recall ATM. The sliders don't seem to make a huge diff to me i have strength at 100% and want to go higher.

It is true less and less wheel support in driving games today, which is totally mind boggling to me. Mafia 2, Driver SF (although fixed later), Blur to name a few. Good to arm yourself with a nice copy of Toca emulator in these cases.

Yeah, this is pretty much the reason Ive kinda moved away from arcade racers and more towards racing sims. The wheel and other controller support is fantastic.

Under Options and controllers I just had 'Keyboard'. I have a Thrustmaster F430. I re-installed Dirt 2 and it listed my wheel so I configured it and actually had fun again playing the game.

Guess this is a console only title. No great loss.
