Why there is no in-game vibration effects with the XBOX wireless controller and what would be the benefits if the controller would report throttle and break in separated axis? Currently both are reported in the z-axis.

Note: I have noticed the above with other games too.

You may use XInputPlus software to get separate throttle and brake. It also has FF emulation, but it's probably just FF force translated into vibration intensity, so it will be different from vibration effects created by some other driving games (on gear changes, wheel slip etc.). Another useful feature is that it allows to set a deadzone for a stick used for steering.

I do not know about Xbox gamepad but with every wheel or gamepad I have ever used, it worked in LFS like this:
Options -> Controlls
select "wheel / joystick" at top.
Then change throttle/brake axis from "combined" to "seperate"

Thanks, I have heard about XInputPlus before, I may check it.

Thanks. Is there any advantage on going form "combined" to "separate"?

I use this as well, works perfectly for separate brake/throttle axis

Yes, being able to use throttle and brake independently

I'm missing being able to define a dead zone for an axis in LFS.
Is this something XInputPlus enables/supports?

Yes, as mentioned above

Works perfectly for me, thanks

That program is a game changer! Just tested it out, far superior to what Windows provides by default. Thanks for that!
