Bus Simulator 21 Steering Wheel Not Working Xbox
Vida Hubbert
On my xbox after the last update, ground steering is not working on any aircraft for me. I have read alot about things changed for the F18, but steering isnt working for me in any aircraft. Any suggestions? I use a xbox controller and pre-update my NWS turned the plane when i used my rudder left or right. Now it doesnt work. Correction: it seems to only be happening with airliners and fighter jets.
hi there is a thread on this , we have to bind a button toset nose wheel to steering limit . then on hud 3 letters will show in bottom right. NWS/NWS HI this is nose wheel steering ,allows tight turns on carrier deck.
I've always heard that the reason the LED lights only work on PC and not consoles is that the software in the consoles won't allow them to work. So I thought I would pose the question to Xbox why won't they allow racing wheels to have full function on their console.
Their response, "The creators of your steering wheel must create an Xbox driver to support their functions and then lobby game makers to include it with their game. Driver support must be baked into each individual game.
To summarize, the other big issue besides the leds and rev lights is the very limited button functionality on Xbox. Fanatec wheels only support buttons which appear on a standard Xbox controller (ABXY, LB/RB, etc). Any additional inputs such as toggle switches or rotary dials either don't work at all on Xbox, or they are duplicate inputs and can not be reassigned to other functions.
Bottom line is, things like rev lights and led panels CAN be done on xbox compatible wheels right now - Thrustmaster has their latest Ferrari F1 replica wheel to prove it. They also have their range of flight sticks and yokes to show that many more inputs than that of a standard controller can be achieved.
However, for whatever reason, Fanatec have chosen not to use whatever development method TM have employed, and do not currently offer any Xbox compatible wheels with rev lights, working led displays, or expanded non-standard button support. Some have said that companies like TM have used "loopholes" to make their products work, suggesting that such a method is inferior to how Fanatec would prefer to implement such things. For such features to be implemented "properly", it's been said that the Xbox OS /SDK needs to be "opened up".
Well...I don't know about you, but as a consumer, if I were just getting into sim racing and I really wanted those features and I saw a product that has them vs. another which doesn't...I'm pretty sure I wouldn't give a flying you-know-what about a loophole, and know where my money would be going. But that's just it... Fanatec draw you in with their "elite" reputation (at least as far as the console market is concerned) and their slick advertisements for their DD line of products (which, notably, TM have yet to release), and that's how they get you. Xbox users think they're going to be getting this "elite" experience, and many are not aware of these frustrating limitations before they've already spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. It's the very reason why I've all but abandoned the platform and race almost exclusively on PC now.
Anyway... latest word that I've heard is that this "opening up" of the Xbox OS /SDK was supposedly being looked into, and there is a plan to have it roughly coincide with the release of the new Forza Motorsport title. Granted, that was originally supposed to mean sometime around, well...NOW. But obviously that game has been pushed back, so who knows what will happen. But if past history is any indication, my guess is "nothing".
Yeah, add me to the list of unsatisfied customers who found absolutely no evidence prior to purchase, on any of the marketing materials, of the fact that all of those fancy controls on the very expensive 'xbox compatible' formula v2.5x steering wheel I bought wouldn't actually function on xbox. You'd think they'd at least feel obligated to mention that xbox-compatibility does NOT imply that all of the buttons and knobs and switches on the steering wheel actually do anything at all. I felt like it was intentional bait and switch, and as a result, I can guarantee that when I upgrade from my CSL DD base, it will NOT be to a fanatec system. They lost me as a customer basically as soon as I plugged the thing in for the first time. I could live with the limits, but I'm unwilling to reward the deception. Clearly, the company had decided they don't have to worry because console customers were locked into fanatec for DD wheels until 2 weeks ago, but for those of us who can afford to move to PC, that kind of dishonesty by omission has cost them whatever good will they may have started with.
I can't say for certain, but this particular FAQ seems like a fairly new addition. I don't remember seeing anything like this more than a few months ago, maybe a year, tops. So the info IS out there. But they certainly don't go out of their way to make sure Xbox users know what they're getting. I guess there's the argument that if you're going to be spending this kind of money on a product, you should do your homework first. But then again, reading that something is "Officially Licensed for Xbox" and "features full Xbox Compatibility" (as stated on the product description page)...it's not unreasonable to expect people to see that and think that all the features being touted will work on Xbox.

The best steering wheel for Xbox overall, in our opinion, is the Logitech G923 steering wheel and pedals. This steering wheels caters towards both hardcore racing gamers and people who are just getting started. The best budget steering wheel for Xbox, on the other hand, is the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider. This offers a great set of features and decent control for a much lower price point compared to the other Xbox steering wheels on offer. A cheaper Logitech option can be the Logitech G920 which is the best mid-range Xbox steering wheel, and one of the best Xbox One accessories on the market. It is a great quality wheel for the price and feels great to drive with, one downside however can be that the pedals feel somewhat stiff to begin with.
It's pretty tough to say outright which brand creates the best Xbox steering wheels. Thrustmaster and Logi both have their strengths and depending on what type of wheel you're searching for, either could have you covered. For the majority of players, Thrustmaster has more mid-range options. Then again, Logitech's G920 series is very popular for a reason. For a premium wheel, it's hard to beat Logitech's best options, but they do come at a price.
