It would be nice to be able to switch to a different controller and not have to change all the assignments around. For example, if I want to switch from using my steering wheel to a controller, I would have to change all the button assignments to match up with the different button setup on the controller. Being able to switch between 2 or 3 controller configurations would be great.
Not sure but, you can't already? Add the bindings without removing the others. Each binding you assign with a device will be used only on that device. As far your devices are actually separate devices (ie. Your wheel does not think it's a controller, but actually shows up as a different device) it should work?
Just tested it again, I unplugged my wheel then tried to bind button 7 on my controller to the throttle, but I had a button on my wheel that was binded to the parking brake, which was also button 7, so they conflicted.
This shouldn't happen unless both devices identify themselves as the same model. If that's happening, then either they are both xbox controllers, or you have problems in your drivers. Please send a support report so I can take a look.
I have the same problem because I use a Xbox 360 driving wheel and a Xbox 360 controller usually via the same adapter This really would be handy for me because the bindings and settings that I apply for the driving wheel don't really work well with the controller vice versa etc.
@GoogleMe2461 there's no short term plans to provide support for that, but i'll keep it in mind @bluerider598 this is weird, the logs show your g920 wheel and your dual action gamepad as being clearly distinct devices. Can you please explain in more detail what exact issue you are having? From a quick look at your support report, I cannot see anything wrong. Thanks!
Sure. I can't use more than one controller without having to reassign all the buttons. For example, I cannot assign button 7 on my gamepad to anything because it will conflict with the control for button 7 on the steering wheel, so I'd have to either delete the assignment, or change it.
(emphasis mine) Do you mean you get the conflict warning on screen when you attempt to do that? If so, then don't worry about that message, and simply save the binding as usual. If it is not that, can you please specify what happens? Describe step by step what the problem looks like. For example: "if i assign this binding to the gamepad, the binding on the steering wheel will no longer appear when i plug it", or whatever may happen in your case. Thanks!
Sorry, I should have elaborated further. I get the conflict warning screen, but even if I accept, anything that was assigned for the wheel carries over to the controller as well. So for instance, the throttle and brake is assigned to RZAxis for the g920 pedals. When I go to use my gamepad and load a level, the throttle and brake are automatically assigned to RZAxis, which are the analog sticks. And since they are obviously in a neutral position, the throttle and brake are both applied at 50%, which requires changing all the assignments that were set up for the wheel in order to drive. This is why I suggested having presets, as it would solve this problem and make switching between controllers virtually instant.
Can you please take 3 screenshots of the Controls > Hardware tab, in BeamNG menu? 1st one with the gamepad plugged in 2nd one with the wheel plugged in 3rd one with both plugged in
Sure. I made them spoilers to avoid making a giant post. Spoiler: With the gamepad only: Spoiler: With the wheel only: Spoiler: With both:
Thanks. Everything looks perfectly normal there, and what you sent in the support report file looks fine too. Each device should be saving its bindings on its own separate files. Can you please try disabling all the mods you may have? If that doesn't work, please try a clean reinstall, and then retry creating bindings for both devices, see if the problem persists.
