Yep, I have GRID, cracking game. I play with the 360 controller which works great with this title. I changed my mobo so had to re-install Windows and therefore lost my scores, been too busy to play much since. I'd be up for a challenge, I play with no assists and manual gears. And before the moaners complain about it being too easy, ITS A GAME!! LOL

Steel, you outta try the 360 wired controller. Works soooo well man. Because Grid is on the 360, I think the 360 controller is the best controller for it on the PC. Even the buttons within the game are colored matched to the controller. Meant to be.

I bet that looks awesome, I also play it @ 1680x1050, but haven't tried 8x AA. Maybe you could post a SS

For people who have non-working controller, try xpadder http://xpadder.com/download.html

It maps certain keys on your keyboard to buttons on ure pad (e.g shoulder button 1 = space bar = handbrake)

I just remembered it and it's a great little app

hope this helps :toast:

Thats odd Steel. I used a SideWinder prior to the 360 controller and it worked fine. I'm running Vista 64 as well. Stange? Go buy a 360 wired controller from best buy and see if that works. If not you can always return it.

maybe I'm doing something wrong, I plug it in (vista OS) then go to control panel, calibrate controller, then start the game, & only see preset1 & custom. when I try & configure the pad, none of the buttons work.is there a different section for pad setup. I was also thinking on just getting this but would save me some money because I already have 5 good pads.
