I have a microsoft x360 joypad, and i'd want to use it to play the game, is it possible?
What do i have to do?
I can use it to navigate through the menus, but whatever i press when the race starts, my car remains still.
I can't even bind the controls in the option(it will only accept keyboard keys, not joypad buttons).
Thank you.

Select your profile > OPTIONS > CONTROLS.
Change CONTROLLERS to use the 360 pad instead of Keyboard. Note that because the pad is so verbosely named, you can only see "Controller (...". It would continue like: "XBOX 360 For Windows)"
After changing the controller, you can CONFIGURE CONTROLS. :)

I've found out that i had turned on my joypad a bit too late when i started the game, so it wasn't initialized properly by it.
So i was able to move through the menus with it, but when i tried to go to change the controller, i couldn't, as the joypad wasn't even listed.
Thanks anyway, cheers!

this thread was just what I needed. :D
