I have read a review for this game on a PC, it did not mention support for
wheels & pedals.

Does anyone knows if it does?

Thx.

Its unplayable with a wheel. You can only assign the brake/accelerator to
one pedal which means you have to hold the pedal half way down if you want
to stop the car. The steering has awful linearity. I can move my wheel 90*
and nothing much will happen, I move it another 10* and it goes to full
lock. The game was clearly designed for a gamepad.

Doubt it.  Keyboard, joystick or gamepad are the
options mentioned.  Great game world, though.

It sort of does but it is so broken you *probably* won't want to use it.

At least that was true on the shipped version of the game. By the time
they released the patch I got used to playing it with my Thrustmaster
Tacticalboard and never bothered trying it with a wheel again.

They symptom I had with the wheel was you had to move the guy forwards
and backwards with the accelerator pedal when he walked. Really silly. So
to stop you had to have the pedal in the middle. I use split axis so if I
had set to combined axis I guess the brake pedal would have moved him
backwards and the accelerator pedal would have moved him forwards.

Even if it did work the hassle of switching between the wheel and
keys/other controller wouldn't have been worth it I think.
