PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 3 AND FORZA 2 WHEEL CONTROL MAPPING

Project Gotham Racing 3 by default uses the B Button (Gear Up) and X Button (Gear Down / Reverse) to control gear shifting and does not switch to Left Bumper (Gear Down / Reverse) and Right Bumper (Gear Up) when a wheel is plugged in. PGR3 therefore requires some configuration to use Xbox 360 standard wheels. Directions for re-configuring PGR3 are below.

1. Press START Button and/or A Button until the MAIN MENU is displayed.
2. Scroll down to the MORE... option using the D-pad and press the A Button.
3. Scroll down to the OPTIONS option using the D-pad and press the A Button.
4. Scroll down to the CONTROLLERS option using the D-pad and press the A Button.
5. Scroll down to the Wheel A option using the D-pad, then press the A Button to save this configuration and exit the CONTROLLERS menu.
6. Press the B Button to exit the OPTIONS menu and return to the MORE... menu.
7. Press the B Button to exit the MORE... menu and return to the MAIN MENU.

Forza 2 will implement this switch automatically when it detects a wheel has been plugged in.
