Is my Logitech Rumblepad 2 responsible for it, or everytime i turn the car,

it drifts from itself? (turning 90 degrees)

Does this happen to anyone else?

(i won't find it weird, FUEL is one of the worst Racing Games i have ever played)

It might just be FUEL - I'd looked forward to getting it until I tried the demo - now not going to bother getting the full game

FUEL is just a poorly made game, go play something better. Like Burnout Paradise or Grid.

I have the same Gamepad and Burnout Paradise works awesome with it. It's probably just Fuel.

It's got to be your rumblepad, because I've played Fuel religiously this summer, and have never experienced what you're describing. The controls are tight. The cars don't feel floaty at all. They've got weight beneath them. A truly under-rated title.

EDIT: The rumblepad is working, right. I mean, are you feeling the force feedback? Force feedback is insanely great in this game. One of the best implementations of force feedback that I've ever encountered.

You can thank MS and the crappy Games for Windows junk. Like Dirt, anything but the 360 controller feels like poo in Fuel. I've tried several times to make my Rumblepad2 work well in the game but it just feels totally different (read:crappy) as compared to how the 360 controller feels.

I'm glad that I got GRID! I had both games in my hand, but GRID looked better. It sounds like I made the right choice :)

I played NFS Undercover a while back - now that is a terrible racing game. The cars don't feel like cars at all.

Well, Grid, in my opinion, is the worst game that Codemasters has ever produced. Fuel is way more fun. The motorbikes and the quads, in particular, are unlike anything I've ever ridden in an arcade racer.

I bought it for twenty bucks. Poorest racing game I've ever played. Although I've gotta say, Shift isn't looking too bad at all.

The racing in it is so... dull. Its a pity, there was a huge amount of potential for it. And here I was hoping it would be 1nsane crossed with MotorStorm.

I have read this a several times in different forums and i think that this is the solution: Every joystick except 360controller is just awful in FUEL

THE PROBLEM IN FUEL IS THAT IT SO POINTLESS. IT IS SO BAD THAT IN 1 MINUTE YOU CAN NAME 10 RACING GAMES WHICH ARE MUCH BETTER THAN FUEL.

(Burnout Paradise is simply the best racing game ever. perfect gameplay, perfect graphics and... perfect steering;)

You are not comparing apples to apples. Fuel is open world offroad. Sadly, there are none to little options for game choices out there of this type. Fuel is a very fun arcade racer for gamers with attention spans and who simple enjoy driving. The ADD crowd bashes Fuel cause its not a hand holding game and not force feeding direct racing entertainment or rewards 100% of the time.

Wow, I really disagree here. Fuel was an abysmal game that was just...terrible in almost every way. Grid however was a fantastic racing game and a real step forward in the arcade racing genre.
