Very nice idea.

So does LFS recognise both the G25 and the sacrified game controller and you assign the button functions in LFS?

Did you glue the aluminum piece to the wheel and doesn't the long cable for the old game controller get in the way?

Quote from -Willi- :

I have attached an aluminium-plate on the lower part of my G25 wheel, placed 10 Buttons from an electronic shop on it and an old gamepad was slaughtered for the functionality. Works quite well and all needed keys/functions of lfs are available at my thumbs

Any pictures? Sounds interesting.

What are you guys doing with the turn signals?
I see from above that they feature well for button placement.

I like to keep the horn button handy as I find it helps to reduce accidents, like when people are backing up after a crash without looking.

The handbrake is for the rallyX tracks and I use it to get out of trouble when I'm understeering towards the wall in a fwd.

I'm very tempted to get a G25 and would like to know how most people set up the buttons.

There are only two buttons on the wheel and then the shifter paddles.

The buttons I use most are view left, view right, hooter, view rear and handbrake. Pretty much in this order.
I have these all as buttons now.

I would like to use the paddles for gear changes and I think the two buttons for view left and right. But then the other functions need to move to the buttons on the H-shifter unit.

So what do you think?

Thanks people!
I knew I was right.

It's a pity that some racers feel that they should ban/kick other racers just because they think they are right without even getting any input from the racer they want to kick.

I really try to accomodate the blue flag where possible, but it's not always easy trying to help they guy lapping you and to stay on the road.

As a relative noob I think some off these drivers must get off their high chairs!!!!

I get banned from a server because I get accused of not getting off the racing line during a CHICANE under a blue flag and causing the driver to crash.

Firstly, there is normally only one line into, through and out of a chicane and secondly I have lost count of the number of times I have crashed or gone off trying to get out of the way of a lapping car by go off the line.

I can understand more stricter enforcement during league races and so on. But this cr@p on a normal open racing server Some people think that because they are lapping they can force the cars off the road in front of them. Grow up children!
