is anyone else having issues with wheels? my thrustmaster tx is working in fm5 but not fm6, wondering if wheel support is coming later or if mine just isn't supported :ohdear:

Restart Xbox via the wheel and sign out / in with the wheel as your controller, don't use the gamepad.

Still some bugs - goto Options -> Layout and if you want layout 1, select layout 2 then re-select layout one. Also in Multi-player, Right shifter shifts up properly, but also gives you a flash of the rearview :gonk:

I want to play this game but I don't want to spend $1000 on a fanatec wheel. How are the thrustmaster and madcatz wheels?

GutBomb posted:

Definitely the thrustmaster tx. The Logitech is overpriced and lovely, the fanatec is too expensive, the hori is a piece of crap, the madcatz is a madcatz, and the other thrustmaster doesn't have force feedback.

None of them come with shifters (they all have shift paddles) and all but the Logitech just come with 2 pedals instead of 3. (The fanatec doesn't come with pedals)

Thrustmaster has an add on shifter and an add on pedal set. Logitech has an add on shifter, fanatec sells everything as a separate component, and the other ones only work with what comes in the box.

I have a thrustmaster tx with the shifter add on, the GTE wheel rim add on, and a set of really nice fanatec pedals that I have to use an adapter from basherboards to use. It's a great setup.

I play forza and not iracin because it's the best mix of sim racing and controller support. A wheel will improve your forza experience, but I don't think you need one at all

I'd just mirror what GutBomb said, but the TX is great (even if a bit buggy at the moment - with forza not the wheel. See my post at the top of the page).

My biggest challenge with it at the moment is that I use it while sitting in rocking recliner at the moment so it makes for some awkwardness to get over. Also the multiplayer bug sucks and may have to switch layouts and not use the paddles until the bug is fixed.

Also with noting is that I'm not experiencing any bugs. I had one issue, but I think it's because I was messing with the menus with a controller and it made the button mapping and the pedals all hosed up once I got into a race. I restarted the game and didn't have another problem.

I don't think you need a wheel either. I bought one because of certain circumstances and I had a bit of extra money to spend. I don't regret it at all. It is a lot of fun to use.

I'm glad you haven't. And usually restarting at least the mode you're in might fix it - for instance, I just went from Rivals to Career and the bug showed itself. I restarted Forza and it was fine after that. I haven't rechecked Multiplayer maybe there will be goons playin tomorrow afternoon. I want to do one of those endurance showcases as well.

Sunset Peninsula was fun but I do actually enjoy the Daytona courses. The whole first lap is a little chaotic in the hoppers with how narrow the road course section is, but it's pretty fun to drive.

Although if I can figure out how to upload a video, I have a great replay of me going down the back straight away in a race... spinning in circles half way down the straight as people keep hitting me lol.

I had a Rivals today against some pubbie who apparently did a complete 720 going around turn one of Road Atlanta. I stayed in that rivals race just to watch him repeatedly spin out.

Nope, they don't (but you can reuse the pedals with the new one). On the off chance anyone is looking for info about wheels, I have reviewed the G920 and Fanatec Clubsport: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/09/getting-to-grips-with-the-latest-xbox-one-steering-wheels

It should be in the name of the engine on the swap screen. You may have to swap to another engine and then hover over the original engine to be able to see the name. A bunch of crap if you ask me.
