I'd like to be able to bind both my sequential stick shift and my paddles onto the shift up/down action.. Right now, I'm changing between them every race because I drive both cars where I want to use paddles and cars where I want to use stick.
That's all, thanks
Automatic shifter configuration (for Logitech G25 users)
Shortcut keys used: None
To automatically adjust the controller bindings for the shift mechanism used by the currently selected car, all you have to do is modify the existing road.lfs, sequential.lfs and paddle.lfs as shown below.
Optionally you can also add re-bindings of whatever you want to use the free shifter/paddle buttons for. For example, when using the shifter unit, my right paddle acts as handbrake and the left one as horn, whereas when using the paddles, pulling the sequential stick is the handbrake and pushing sounds the horn. Doing this maximises the capabilities of the few easy-to-reach buttons on the G25; these re-bindings are not included in the example scripts.
road.lfs
/button 8 gear_1
/button 9 gear_2
/button 10 gear_3
/button 11 gear_4
/button 12 gear_5
/button 13 gear_6
/button 14 reverse
Multiple keys would be nice, but for now, scripts can take care of it.
If you want, I can write you the scripts that will auto-run when you select the car. (Should your wheel not be a G25, in which case, the above works fine.)
The above works perfectly, I do have a G25 I'm very happy with how it works, I can even edit which type of gearbox the cars have just by editing their script
you can also bind it to keys, i have it set like when i press Ctrl + F1 (to F5) i set it to sequential, paddle, H shift 4 gears, H shift 5 gears and H shift 6 gears.
Easiest way is to use JoytoKey program (google it)
Set up button 4 to be handbrake and another keyboard key like "s" as the handbrake as well. Then use JoytoKey to send "s" when the button 5 is pressed.
Advanced....
You could maybe do it with scripts. Assign butt4 as handbrake and the butt5 as a script, a script that swaps the two button functions. So when you press butt5, butt4 is changed to the call script and butt5 becomes the handbrake. I haven't tested a script, but you MAY have to tap the button to make the function swap each time, dunno mate.
