I am contempt. I have transcended to a new plane of existence. I did some garage-to-garage deliveries when I had a sparkle of an idea. An idea I didn't believe in but I had to try. I had nothing to lose only gain validation. I dusted off the old steering wheel and plugged it in. The game instantly recognized it as a new Xbox controller and it did work somewhat but it had the annoying deadzone issue I had with it in every other game. The game uses the default Xbox setup where the dead zone is needed. I didn't wanna mess with it, so I left it alone and accepted defeat. But before I unplugged it I had another sparkle. Why not try the other mode? I pressed the Mode button, and the game recognized it as a different type of input. Guess what? It works. It works beautifully. The deadzone is no more, the Xbox settings are untouched and the only thing I had to do is set the Steering Angle to the correct mode. I did so many deliveries. I followed the traffic laws, it was extremely satisfying.

I did dome rally stage and finished the baja truck scenario.

I finished a rally scenario then fucked around a bit.

Played some scenarios. The garage to garage mode is pretty fun.

I played some scenarios. One with a 3 wheeled jungle contraption. Stopped a criminal van. Did some rally. That was lovely. I did a bus route. Found out whatever is a Light Run.

I did a high-speed police chase take down and then I was just messing around with it a bit.

I FINALLY BOUGHT IT!!! AND IT'S FUCKING AWESOME!!! I played through the first campaign, it was alright. I downloaded the flood map with the flood module and almost finished at 1.5 speed with a Trabant. It was extremely exciting. I enjoyed the simple scenarios like the cop chase. I attempted a scenario with one of those trucks with the fan. My brain is not working so well and I'm blanking on the name. This day didn't start too well. I slept too much, had nightmares and then I was pretty depressed until I found this to occupy my brain.
