Fuel Sucks Fumes (on PC Platform)
I just set up Fuel on a PC and I am shocked that the game offer NO support for my G25. There is NO SUPPORT for driving wheels in Codemaster's Fuel, I repeat NO SUPPORT for driving wheels. Definitely no force feedback either.
This game is meant for Xbox controller only and PC keyboard. You cannot re-map your keyboard keys, you have to use the defaults.
I did manage to set up a custom profile on the g25 where the wheel axis emulates button mashing. Wheel left rotation is "A" button and Wheel rotation right is "W" button. I also set up the wheel thumb buttons and paddles as left and right.
None of these button configurations really work, the only way to have some finesse controlling these vehicles is to use the PC keyboard like Grand Theft Auto.
They put the accelerator on the Space Bar and the brakes/reverse on the right ctrl key so I mapped them to my G25 brake and accelerator pedals and that works pretty good, but its just on/off for each. It is all automatic transmission and the all the sounds remind me of 2 stroke engines, the type used on weed-eaters, chain saws and scooters.
It's too bad that Fuel sucks fumes, I was so looking forward to it.
I hope there is a patch because the game looks gorgeous and runs smoothly at full resolution and graphics.
TDU is still the King of Free Roam driving games.
