    You quoted the test branch, the main branch of the mod works on 0.7.0.2.

    I'd rather have it go to a x% throttle specified in the settings, then the player presses a button to go to 100 whenever they want to, like City Car Driving.

    Or a hold shift to sneak type mechanic.


    Best solution really is to get a gamepad though. They aren't expensive and solve alot of input issues. Wheels are better but are expensive

    yes, holding the key is what i meant

    You can have analog steering and throttle input on a gamepad? If not, screw it.

    Yes, literally haven't seen a controller without dual analog sticks and triggers since the PS1.

    Beam was my main reason for getting an Xbox controller. Having analog gas, brakes, and steering makes the experience so much better.

    Eh, don't really like console-looking controllers, if this is what you mean by a gamepad.


    The solution is to have partial throttle in BeamNG.

    Have you used one?

    I used keyboard for ages on beamng, a gamepad like that is 100 times better, hell I'd say its better than a wheel for ease of use alone.

    Yes I used to play on a PlayStation a while back with a similar controller and for the driving feel isn't the best. Maybe I'll give it a shot, the one I tried was for the original PS.

    Yeah they are much better than they were back then, those older controllers usually only had button triggers or used the face buttons for accelerating and braking, with analog triggers on the back its a much better feel. An Xbox 360 controller is probably the best cost for what you are after too.

    They are quite different then they were then as he said. I recommend an official Microsoft one instead of a cheesy knockoff. You could always try it and return it if you didn't like it.
    XBox One controller: $50 price point (I like mine as it came with Bluetooth support, and you can always use a USB cable to plug it in)
    XBox 360 WIRED controller: $30 price point (Don't get the wireless version as it requires a proprietary and expensive adapter)

    An Xbox one controller has a really nice feel to it.

    If you have Windows 10, I don't think an Xbox 360 controller will work.

    Yeah I prefer wired stuff when it comes to things like this.

    Is this a good one? The one by MS did not have two analog sticks. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-940...TF8&qid=1491703238&sr=8-5&keywords=pc+gamepad

    According to BeamNG, that controller will work: Controller_support

    I generally recommend Microsoft controllers as ALL controller-compatible PC games know how to communicate with them and are designed with them in mind, but that Logitech has good reviews.

    The XBox one does have two analog sticks, one is just offset. The form factor is very comfortable.

    Tell that to the 2 Xbox controllers i have right here that have 2 analogue sticks. The very original ps1 controllers are basically the last gamepads in existence to not have dual thumbsticks. The later ps1 dualshock controllers all have them as do all newer PlayStation controllers and the Xbox controllers.

    Yes the Logitech F310 works. It works pretty well to. I was tired of my wired Rockcandy controllers dying. I paid $12 for it at Best Buy.

    I'm using only one analog stick of gamepad to drive, there is two next to each other on Rumble Pad 2 Wireless, but I just can't learn to steer and throttle/brake on separate sticks.

    Xbox controllers two analog sticks has odd placement though, why they have swapped digital and analog control, but maybe it works better?

    Of course gamepad is not a wheel, there is no finesse or precision in same manner, but with adjusting settings they are usable, however range of motion of those analog sticks is not very big and requires practice until you can drive well.

    I have set filtering to direct and sensitivity enough big number so that wheels don't turn too much with little movement of stick and that has made it a lot better than default settings. If using default automatic filtering and sensitivity, I find cars don't respond too well to control inputs, however after changing filtering to direct there is no lag even gamepad is wireless.
