Gamepad + Mouse for steering

[davidzoli]

After I have been playing over 200 hours with keyboard and mouse steering. Some times ago I got a gamepad.
I tried get used to steering with thumbs, but I can't learn to steering such a smooth way as with the mouse. But I like the button positions (not in rows like the keyboard) and the analog input some cases (throttle and brake).

So I started to think some hybrid control. Now my left hand operates a gamepad laying in the desk, and my right operates a mouse for steering (and others).

How to do it?
1. Just config like you want to use a gamepad.
2. "Exit" to the profile switcher
3. Alt+Tab and get to your profile folder (User/Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/profiles/XXXXXXX/)
4. Make a backup of your control.sii file
5. Edit your control.sii file
Find

Code: Select all

 config_lines[35]: "constant c_mousesteer 0.000000"
 config_lines[36]: "constant c_mousepedal 0.000000"
 config_lines[37]: "constant c_mped_dz 0.200000"
 config_lines[38]: "constant c_relatsteer 1.000000"

And change the c_mousesteer to 1, and the c_relatsteer to 0

Code: Select all

config_lines[35]: "constant c_mousesteer 1.000000"
 config_lines[36]: "constant c_mousepedal 0.000000"
 config_lines[37]: "constant c_mped_dz 0.200000"
 config_lines[38]: "constant c_relatsteer 0.000000"

6. Get back to game and start driving
7. Now you can steering with mouse instead of using that for viewing around.

That's all

Note that if you modify your controls, the game overwrite the modified values. So you have to do it again.

Edit:
Of course the keyboard will be operate as before. You can reach all the function from keyboard too.

Hi !

Can you help me to configure: keyboard + gamepad + mouse for steering

thank you very much !

[Nguyễn Minh Sơn]

With a simple mouse. It consists of two buttons and rollers in between

[Nguyễn Minh Sơn]

Your way to configure additional configuration click the "keyboard + gamepad".

Thus, using the mouse wheel to drive.
Also assign buttons on the mouse will perform later in the game, not in the file control.sii it?

Thank !

I have a problem. And I've found a way to settle here. It is this:

I am a player ETS2 (I was older, married) because conditions can not or do not want a steering wheel on the desktop (as well as desks to work)
Just wanted to add pedals "Clutch + Brake + Gas" located at the foot, combined with the keyboard and mouse when playing ETS2 (gearshift using the keyboard and mouse to drive).

I follow your way. Then do the pedals from the gamepad, like this: http://youtu.be/pFMHD5eqE3o

If I do not bother you, I want to talk to you more.

Thank you very much!

The core component of the pedals was a gamepad (in its earlier life)? Are you using 3 axis of that?

On the config page, can you set that?
Is that working with the game and the main problem, you can't steer?

Boy, I was about to delete that image, but you posted that a few days before the rules changed so this picture is immune.

(Not a ) problem solved
Not before the new rules, but making my own imagehost. I'll check all my attachments
