Hi All,
Sorry if this has been posted before - I would have searched for it, but there doesn't seem to be search functionality (or I can't see it).
Is it possible to play with a PS3 controller? I have it connected to my laptop, but I'm not sure how to configure it so I can actually play with it?
The PC keys are annoying as you can't go half throttle, which makes climes very annoying when your rear tyre goes straight under you.
Thanks for any help!

You can do it, sure. Here is a link to the software you will need: http://www.motioninjoy.com/
Just choose a Xbox controller profile and you're golden. A word of warning though, if for any reason the controller connects to your ps3 while you play (like accidentally hitting the ps-button) your computer will likely bsod
If you are playing wireless with motioninjoy (you need a bluetooth adapter, not build in bluetooth) you have to pair the controller with the bluetooth. You will have to connect your controller with the cable to your ps3 to pair it back. So it can't connect with your ps3 while you are playing on the pc.
That's what I use too, I would also suggest to buy a cheap Bluetooth dongle for your PC, that way you can use it wireless.Originally Posted by InquisitorFIN
Ok I have the motion joy DS3 tool installed, connected via USB (not bluetooth).
I selected the PS3 controller, and tested it's connection using the 'Vibration test' button.
I go into the game and select the xbox controls and click apply, start a level, and can't move with my PS3 controller.
Where am I going wrong?'m sure it's really obvious, but it's driving me mad!)
Thanks!

Did you only choose the pad controls ingame or did you also choose a 360 pad profile for the controller in the software before starting the game?Originally Posted by scoe999
Ah that's where I was going wrong, I chose the PS3 options in the software, and the xbox controller in the game. Needed to select the xbox setting in the software - all working nowOriginally Posted by InquisitorFIN
Thank you all for your help, it's much appreciated.

Will the motioninjoy software work for a Mac PC? If not, do I have other options for using a controller for Trials?
Why not use a xbox controller and be done with it..Alot of people take strange twist and turns to make stuff work and then wonder why stuff doesnt work right..Xbox plug n play it installs update without anything extra boom your golden
