    Hi guys!

    My first post here, and just wanted to share with you something I've not yet found a video for - flying DrowsySam's Cessna 172 Skyhawk in BeamNG.Drive using the Leap Motion controller!

    UPDATE: I've attached a universal left/right handed GameWave configuration document using these settings.

    It's very simple to set up yourself if you have GameWave installed (if not - worth a look). Change the document preferences under the 'File' menu to use steering mode as default. Using either your left or right hand, set the values under steering mode to the following:
    • Incline upwards: Key Press > Arrow Key Down (says cursor down)
    • Incline downwards: Key Press > Arrow Key Up (says cursor up)
    If you're using your right hand:
    • Incline inwards: Key Press > Arrow Key Left (says cursor left)
    • Incline outwards: Key Press > Arrow Key Right (says cursor right)
    If you're using your left hand:
    • Incline inwards: Key Press > Arrow Key Right (says cursor right)
    • Incline outwards: Key Press > Arrow Key Left (says cursor left)
    Both speed sensitivity dials are set to 20% and both rest dials are left at 60%, but I recommend trying different settings to suit your playing style and, as you will see, it's not sensitive enough.

    Anyway, here's the video:

    Would be nice if this emulated a controller X/Y axes, that way you'd have analog input instead of digital and it would be much better to control :D
    Still awesome nonetheless.

    Thanks!
    Thanks! Go nerds! :)
    Might well be possible, GameWave is pretty powerful so I'll look into it a bit more.
