For those of you that use controllers, you may be able to help me. I bought myself a new controller to use for DTR2 & rFactor, and I can't seem to be able to get my controller to work for dtr2. What do I need to do?

As far as i know, you just plug it into the usb port. go into Options on the main screen of DTR2. Then Input, and then i want ya to hit Calibrate Joystick. then you are gonna depending on if you use directional keys or toggles. If you use directional keys you just push each direction to its full extent to get full calibration. If you use toggles, you will move the both toggles each direction to their full extent. (Left,Right,Up,Down)/ I run on a black Gigaware controller and use the toggles. then after completion you hit escape. then youll see a screen where it has "Turn Left, Turn Right etc..." and next to each command it says Unnasigned. you click on the unnasugned tab and then push the utton or move the toggle to whatever you want the command to follow. (I use the Right trigger for gas, Right button for shift up, Bottom button for downshift, and toggle for steer. top button for change view. ) Then you should be able to go into the game and race perfectly fine in dtr2.

Ive played both games....and Rfactor may have great graphics and sound....
But there aint no racing like dtr2 racin. Not as competitive on the rfactor side!!!!


Hopefully this helps ya man. best of luck. and other questions post in here and ik there are many people who are out to help newcomers.

When I try to calibrate the joystick, I hit an arrow to do it, and it sends me back to the control settings & such.

Could be bad usb port. try another, or maybe see if there is a button to press to allow the arrows to work.

i used to use a controller but then all of the sudden it stopped working!!!! i think the USB port on the controller is bad. anybody know how to fix that?
