Problem with xbox 360 controller

    Hi, so recently I've started playing Beamng again but I've been having a problem with my xbox 360 controller (which is connected wirelessly to my PC), Whenever I turn left the steering wheel does not return completely back to the centre, it stays slightly to the left, which as you can image is really frustrating while driving. It does return to the centre if I turn to the right a little but this is pretty annoying when trying to drive on thin dirt roads for example.
    I have tried 2 controllers and both have the same result so I am thinking it is to do with the deadzone because I have not had this problem with any other game (Ets2, grid autosport, spintires), so is there any way I can change the deadzone to try and fix this?
    or is this a known problem in the game?
    Thanks.

    ----Edit----
    For anyone else having this problem these are my settings for steering

    then the other games are less sensitive. Try setting a deadzone for BeamNG.

    Go to CONTROLS in the sidemenu, then click on the Advanced thing, find the 'Steering' input, click on the bind attached to it and an advanced window with non-linearity and deadzones should appear :)

    Also, this happens because X360 controllers sticks are not perfectly calibrated/centered. I know about that since I got the same thing with my 2 controllers.
    Those games you mentioned already took that aspect of the controllers in account and have a quite big deadzone set to them by Default. BeamNG also has a deadzone, but it's very small. But luckily it's fully settable.

    Its in the input settings. Xbox thumbsticks are pretty crap at returning to centre, need huge deadzones, shame as otherwise they are my favourite gamepads.
