Confirm if what works, exactly? I've got the game but haven't been able to configure the steering wheel correctly so far. Obviously I don't understand a letter of Russian so it's all trial and error.

I have the pedals set up okay, but for some reason it doesn't seem to detect the steering wheel properly. It only detects movement to the left side. So I can steer to the left alright but not to the right. I'm sure it's just a matter of changing some setting somewhere.

As for forcing the game to use the full 900° I can't say. I am sure that you can set your wheel to use the full 900° using the Logitech Profiler, but the in-game steering wheel will probably not be in sync with your real steering wheel (ie. the in-game wheel will probably turn slower).

I also haven't been able to configure my seperate shifter. The game detects the G25 shifter alright but I normally use a different shifter because, well... the G25 shifter is shit. I've seen someone on this forum say that it is possible to configure other control devices as well, though, so that's just a matter of knowing where to look (and understanding Russian ).

From my limited experience I can say that the clutch doesn't work like it's supposed to at all, as has been mentioned several times by other people who have the game. Pressing the clutch pedal doesn't actually disengage the engine, it's also impossible to stall the engine. You can't let the clutch slip, either, as far as I can tell. I also don't hear any grinding noises when shifting down (or up) several gears at once as some "individuals" supposedly told USA_Trucker in PM's.

A positive note is that the game seems to run smoothly on my not-very-high-end system on a resolution of 1680*1050. From what I had read so far I feared that it would be a slide show. I haven't fiddled around with any graphical settings or anything, though. At the first run the game chooses the settings best suited for your system, and I just stuck with that. Looks good enough for me although I'm sure it can look a lot better if you've got a proper gaming pc.
