 ===== Basic Info=====
 Is a technique where you use both digital and analog input to bring the car into a drift.
-==== Setup ====
+===== Setup =====
   * you need a wheel or a controller with both a digital (like buttons) and analoge (wheel itself or the analog stick) steering input
-  * The game must recognize your input device as wheel. If you use a gamepad, you can make a registry change in windows or use the toggle in kickstart so that the game thinks you are using a wheel.
+  * The game must recognize your input device as wheel. If you use a gamepad (or a newer wheel the game doesn't recognize as such), there are the following methods you can use so that the game thinks you are using a wheel:
-  * configure your game that you can steer with both analoge and digital input
+    * a) Use kickstart (**__recommended method__**): Go into the settings of the kickstart program and make sure to check "Identify a steering wheel"\\ {{:tutorials:gamepadaswheel.png?nolink&400|}}
+    * b) change a registry entry on your PC:\\ <code>To tweak the registry manually, search and open `regedit` in Windows. Navigate to:
+`Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM`
-==== Input ====
+⚠️ *Make a backup before you change anything!*
+Find your gamepad and double-click `OEMData`. Change the first non-zero digit to 4.
+Example: `0023` → `0043`
+If the `OEMData` REG_BINARY entry is missing:
+. Right-click on empty space
+. Choose "New" → "Binary Value"
+. Name it `OEMData`
+. Double-click it and enter: `4300801110000000`
+To revert, just restore your backup.
+  * configure your game that you can steer with both analoge and digital input</code>
+===== Input =====
 After following above steps to setup your controller, it is time to learn the technique. Double Steering works different depending if you drive a FWD or RWD car.
-=== RWD ===
+==== RWD ====
   *drive the car into a corner
   *steer with your analog input at an angle around 40-50°
   *press and release the digital steering button
-=== FWD ===
+==== FWD ====
   *drive the car into a corner
   *steer with your analog input at an angle around 20-35°
   *spam the digital steering button
-If everything was done correctly the car will initiate a drift. This technique is used to take corner in higher speed with drifting, without the need to brake
