Apart from force feedback, what else is in the patch to enable us to use the MS Racing Wheel with this game?

For example:

Are there any button configs that allow us to use the in-game camera (i.e. look left/right/up/down etc.)?

Has the problem with navigating the GPS map screen been sorted out?

What navigation problem ?
Works for me, sure its not as quick and simple as it is with the pad but it works.

That navigation problem. It does not allow anywhere the same freedom to browse the map as using the joypad, as all you can do is zoom right out and use the D-Pad to switch between marked locations. Also, because there's no left stick, you can't simply go to whichever race or location you want, you have to toggle through all the ones onthe way, which can be tedious. I was hoping that had been addressed for the latest patch, so that the D-Pad behaved like the left stick does.

That's why you need to use the controller whilst using the wheel.

I hope they come up with something better than that.

How? I tried for a while to do this and I couldn't get it to work. This would be an acceptable solution for me.

Simply press the guide button on the controller to turn it on (it'll be taken as a second controller) et when you're on the GPS map, use the stick of the controller to move and the buttons of the wheel (pedals included if I'm not mistaken) to zoom in or out and to validate your destination.

Hope I've been clear enough. :)
