Connecting the steering wheel and pedals to the game PC is made according to the scheme, normal for all control devices - keyboards, mice, joystick or gamepad. They are equipped with a USB port, thanks to which a "hot connection" occurs - the computer instantly recognizes the device and allows them to use it. Consider this process more.
1
If, after switching on to USB port, nothing happened, or the steering wheel does not work as I would like, we need a set of drivers or special software. As a rule, you can find it on the manufacturer's website or on the disk "from the box." It will also not be prevented to read the instructions for the device, in which there are often comprehensive answers to all questions. We find a disc, insert it into the drive and run the installer.

If after the previous step, the steering wheel did not earn, it may not be determined by the system. To check this guide, we go to the "Start" menu, open the "Control Panel" menu, in it the item "Equipment and Sound". In Windows 7, the sub-clause "View devices and printers" is located below, in which all connected gaming devices will be marked, including the steering wheel.
3
If the steering wheel is not, in the upper left corner we are looking for the "Add" button, press it and give a system to search for available devices. When the device is found, choose it and click the "Next" button.

To calibrate the game steering wheel, go back to "Start" -\u003e "Standard" -\u003e "Run" and enter the "joy.cpl" command in the appropriate string. A list of running devices will appear in the window that opens. To configure them, click on the right mouse button right and select the item "Properties". Similarly, the steering wheel is calibrated through the "Control Panel" -\u003e "Equipment and Sound". In the Gaming devices section, select the appropriate, click "Properties", we receive a dialog box with the "Settings" tab. It will "calibrate" button, which we use.
5
In calibration mode, the user indicates the normal position of the steering wheel (joystick, gamepad) and its maximum deviations on all axes, as well as special positions, reactions of buttons and other control structures. Since all information about the process of testing will be displayed on the screen, make sure the steering wheel reacts as you need. Here is a small list of games with the use of steering and pedals:
Euro Truck Simulator 2;
AUTO CLUB REVOLUTION;
Race.driver.grid.;
Driver Parallel Lines;
Test Drive Unlimited;
rFACTOR (+ mods of different years);
cOLIN M'CRAY RALLY series;
Richard Burns Rally;
Live for Speed;
TOCA RACE DRIVER 3;
F1 Challenge 99-02;
BMW M3 Challenge;

In the event that problems still occur, check the compatibility of the steering wheel with the game, its minimum and recommended requirements. Similar control devices are also not recommended to be stored under the influence of direct sunlight, drop on the floor or twist their cable. Each liquid hit will adversely affect the performance of the steering wheel.
