who uses the kb here? Or do most have controllers?

Joytech Neo-S, it can function as a mouse (should you want it to) it's cheap and pretty well built, the config util doesn't work for Vista, but every game i've tried it one doesn't need it anyway.

I think if we keep going, we may beat the GTA IV thread :p :D
 
Keyboard here. I just can't get to grips with a controller. It would be interesting tho to have an icon in the scoreboard saying who's using kb and who's using pad - some tracks give a big advantage one way or the other.
 
I use a 360 pad, which means I can lean back and relax whilst playing instead of being hunched over a keyboard. I think it's the perfect controller for 95% of the tracks, but I can see a keyboard being advantageous on tracks where extremely fast changes of direction are needed.

The only other issue with the 360 controller is that mine seems to have developed a leaning to the left 75% of the time if I leave the direction stick alone and just press forward. This is a PITA for those tracks where at the start you just need to hold down forward before doing massive jump and flip combinations the tracks designer has integrated into the course.

My 360 pad does the same on this game - Mmmmm
 
Its because you havent centered the axis, you can do it with the xbcd drivers pretty well, best thing to do is before starting a race just tap the directional controller so it goes back to position itself, it should settle on what the controller sees as the middle - thus giving you a straight line. :)

I solved this problem by running through the config utility of joypads in the control panel :)
It's because Windows/TM thinks the stick isn't centered correctly, iirc.
 
Just found my old TM Nations tracks I made, invested HOURS into some of them (still got 25 of them), and they work in the new Forever version of the game:eek::D

I'd forgotton about them until last night, really pleased that they work. Shame I didn't have them all backed up, but got most of them!
 
what is wrong with the game? its starting to drive me mad it has put my controls in a unuseable way and i cant even edit them i have tryed the restore defaults put it does nothing

Keep assigning the button you want to use until it is the only one listed. IE, for brake keep pressing you pad 5 button until it only shows that one button. Works for me.
