    It's kinda hard to explain, but when using the analog stick with the Steam controller, it registers the input like as if you were using the keyboard keys. So if I were to push up on the analog stick, BeamNG would register it as the up arrow key being pressed. Same with down, left and right. the game picked up the controller as "Xbox controller 1" which is normal, but none of the button presses or movement of the analog stick/trackpads come from "Xbox controller 1"

    I recall you must launch the game using Steam Big Picture mode in order to make the Steam Controller work properly (That's for all games)

    They are, and there are many community-made presets in the Steam Big Picture configurator.

    Nope, It's still the same thing for me, I plug in the controller receiver, start up Steam big picture, still the same thing. I might get a video soon.

    Have you tried using a different Steam Controller configuration?
    You have to open Steam Big Picture > go to BeamNG.Drive > Manage Game>Configure Controller

    Pick one of the pre-made presets.

    I've picked a premade one before, and modified it slightly, it worked too, I'll try picking another preset when I get home.

    The 0.5.4 update seems to have fixed the controller input somehow, Thanks Nadeox!
