Hello Drivers!
It's been a long time coming. The community has been asking and we've been listening. We're very happy to finally announce that PC players for Taxi Life will be able to use all steering wheel models*** with the game starting from today's patch. We wanted to go into a bit more detail on some of the in's and outs of the new binding menu, so lets get into it:
Setting Up Controls
First, we'd like to start off by mentioning that we would advise for players to have there steering wheels plugged into their computer, before launching the game so the game can detect your device. Keep this in mind with multiple devices as well.
After you connected your peripherals, and then launched your game you can access the binding menu from the pause menu.
Click on ESC > Game Settings > Controls > Click on the right arrow to navigate to steering wheel binding menu
Custom Setup Options
Once you’re in the Controls menu, you can select your preferred steering wheel. Here are the key steps:
- Choose your steering wheel/device from the list.
- Toggle the custom setup option to on
Note: Setting the custom setup to on ensures full functionality, while off mode provides a simplified setup.
Troubleshooting Device Detection
If your device isn’t recognized:
- Double-check all connections.
- Make sure all correct drivers are installed and updated
- Ensure that all devices are connected before launching the game.
- Reconnecting devices during gameplay may not always result in proper detection and might require restarting the game.
When correctly connected, your devices should appear in the game’s device list with their specific names (e.g., Thrustmaster T300). Here are some additional details:
- You can connect more than one device at a time.
- If your steering wheel does not work right out of the box, use the custom binding setup to bind all of the buttons.
- After plugging in your steering wheel and you do not get FFB (Forced Feedback), please try and restart the game.
Additional Tips
For the best experience, use the custom setup for all connected peripherals. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance please ping us on our official Discord channel
Minor Bug Fixes
We've also included in this patch some minor bug fixes that players should not be bothered by any more. If you encounter anything new, don't hesitate to let us know. We have 2 more patches to be released, but this does not mean we’re done! We’re going to be working on adding more content to the game within this year.
THANK YOU!
Shoutouts to the entire Simteract/Nacon teams for working hard on bringing this patch live as well as to the community for all of their constructive feedback since the games release. Without you guys, we couldn’t have made it this far. We have a lot more coming for Taxi Life, so stay tuned folks. We're not done by a long shot.
See you in Barcelona, drivers!
