Best PC racers with Wheel and / or H-shifter support

[ProDexorite]

As I've mentioned in the other thread, I have moved my racing wheel from Xbox One to my PC to experience that side of the table as well. I tried to scroll my Steam Library in case I would've found something that supports my steering wheel (Thrustmaster TX -series wheel) with the H-shifter (TH8A).

 

The games I already tried (GRID 2, Spintires...) were unable to handle my wheel. In GRID 2 I ended up in a problem where something seemed to jam the "up-button" and thereby I could not even map the controls right to begin with. Spintires ran good but I did not get the car moving at all, so maybe some problems with the settings and/or controller mapping? Also I noticed that Spintires seemed to use shared buttons with shifter and the wheel (mapping the shifter's first gear also switched a button from the wheel to work as that)

 

I got the wheel working great on GRID Autosport, but it seems like the shifter is not recognized at all, and I don't see any remapping options for the H-layout shifting. Sequential shifting with the wheel's paddles works fine though.

 

 

Aside of the story I just wrote, I am here to find suggestions of games that support the racing wheel I have. Preferably the shifter-support is in there too!

 

Another question is that how exactly do I get to play TDU2, as I have it in my Steam Library but to my knowledge the servers have been taken off? Some unofficial servers / patches or such required? At least it should have a full wheel support :duck:

Does Carbon have a full wheel support? :para:

 

I finally configured the wheel and the H-shifter to TDU2, but the game keeps crashing and the first mission to get on racing school got bugged (couldn't get in or anything). Any tips on how to fix the issue?

The older Simbin games are great with a wheel. Cars can be a real handful and verge on too hard and not realistic but it gets you well versed in using a wheel, pedals and such for others. TDU1 is still one of the best for an all-round setup just for the way you can go at your own pace and have a massive environment to do it on.
