    So i have been working on getting my ps3 steering wheel controller to work with beamng and have been unable to succeed. I can get it to successfully load the input map but the controls don't respond. I have been following the template on the wiki page (http://wiki.beamng.com/Playing#Configuring_your_own_controller) with no success other than getting the game to load the input map with no errors. below are pictures of my log file and custom input map file. if some one could spot my mistake would be awesome :) or if one of ya has the input file for a ps3 steering wheel working that would be cool too.

    So i have done some more fiddling with the inpumap without any success the onlything out of the ordinary is my log says:
    2.743314|*** gamepad0 ***
    2.743369| (unbinding...)
    2.743434| *** unbinding failed!
    Then it goes on to say it loaded the input map i am lost at this point as to what could be cause. any help would be appreciated i really hate playing with a keyboard.

    Just download a program called motioninjoy, once it has recognized ps3 controller just set it to 360 emulator and should just work without any messing with inputs

    Exactly. I use a Dualshock 3 with motioninjoy and I can play with the default input settings.

    Is the Test Input section seeing your controller as "gamepad0"? Also, does the Test Input screen register when you push buttons, gas/brake pedals, and steer?

    If all of the above is "Yes", then it looks like in your inputmap file there is a rogue '|' character ( Shift-\ on the keyboard) on the first bind line for steering. Also, from your log file it looks like you have several axis, so if you don't have pedals for gas/brake those buttons must be pressure sensitive and need to be bound similar to pedals.
