Is it possible to use a script to set an F12 setting? Executable with one keystoke or a button, for example to change Fuel load at pit stop to a certain %? Instead of arrow keying through the F12 menu while trying to race?

If you've got a logitech wheel you can use the Logitech Profiler to assign a series of commands to a button, so you could set F12, down arrow, down arrow, right arrow etc etc then F10 again as required. A bit fiddly though as you may need a button press to execute each command (but maybe not - worth checking).

AFAIK - you're right.

The profiler lets you put in series of commands, again IIRC, so say to change the Front Roll bar up you could enter something similar to -
-Begin Recording-
F11
Down Arrow
Right Arrow
Up Arrow (to return to default position)
F11
-End Recording-

The key would just to be sure the sequence begins in the right spot, as if it got mixed up you could end up setting you brake bias 100% rearword..

I think something like this is possible too with lfs scripts. If you search for it you'll find a topic by vain which has plenty of code snippets.

yup i have my DFP running this setup a button to cycle F9,F10,F11,f12,F12

then use a button to assign shift then use the dpad to live settings up down left and right

I quit using the Logitech profiler some time ago. I suppose I could start using it again.

I do have a nostromo n52, maybe I can do something with that. I already use it to bring upi the f11, f12 menus and use the thumb pad to arrow thru, just thought a script would be quicker and less error prone.

I've searched the forum and saw some of the scripts, but couldn't see how to do what I want.

Thanks

Nice... Sucks that the G25 has only 2 Buttons on the wheel...

So if i have to take my hands off the wheel I might as well be using the keyboard.

Well, probably most GTR type cars, although more and more race cars are geting buttons on the wheel it seems.

And you seen an F1 wheel in the last 18 years?

I've always wondered, what the hell do those knobs control?

Their girlfriends?!

Probably various functions on the car, like brake balance, TC levels, and a crapload of others that I can't figure out.
