how to make dirt recognise my xbox360 controller?

EdwardTeach · 28 May 2010 at 23:26

I just got hold of an xbox 360 pad, and want to try out a few games.

It has definitely been recognised by the computer. After i plugged in the wireless dongle windows automatically downloaded the driver ( i am presuming i do not need to bother with the CD that came with it?)

I have tested the pad with Trine and it works fine, however when i tried to use it in Dirt i dont seem to have the option to change from using the keyboard - can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks

I know to get it to work with Dirt2 you have to change a setting in the options from keyboard to 360 pad. Maybe something similar with Dirt?

i am guessing that is the case but i cant seem to get it to allow me to make that choice - it just seems to be stuck on keyboard

with dirt 2, the pad has to be switched on before your open then game, not sure about dirt though
