To find out what number to use, scroll all the way to see which number is used on the last line and add 1 to it (191 as last line + 1 = 192). Towards the top of the page you will see lines in the following form:Ĭonfig_lines: "device joy `di8.' '`"īecause this line is new it needs a number as well in the square brackets next to "config_lines" (192 here). Now that we have the right controls.sii file, we can analyse and modify it. Find the names of the joystick and its axes If it looks like this:Ĭonfig_lines: "mix parkingbrake ` keyboard.n?0`"Ĥ. Now when you open controls.sii (close the game first) in one of the profile ID maps, find the line that corresponds to the handbrake button. If you didn't know which profile ID you needed, go into the game and re-bind the handbrake to something odd (like "n"). You should see a long document with lines starting with If you have multiple game profiles and you don't know which one is which ID, don't worry, we'll get to that soon. The file we need to modify to make the joystick work is called "controls.sii" and can be found at:Ĭode: Selecteer alles \Users\\Documents\SCANIA Truck Driving Simulator\profile\\ When the game is running and you have a file open that's being read by the game you will probably need to refresh it after exiting the game (Notepad++ will notify you of this). You don't want to edit any files while the game is running. These names will be used in the controls file.įirst, exit the game. The reason for these temporary binds is that it gives you access to the names of the buttons and axes you just bound, along with the name of the joystick device itself. If you want to use a normal button (yes, you can ), don't do anything in-game with the clutch, it will come to light later. Now, if you have an analog button/pedal available that you want to use for the clutch, you can go ahead and set it up. Then, bind the "Acceleration Axis" to the joystick y-axis (move it upwards). Still in this options screen, temporarily bind "Steering Axis" to the joystick x-axis (move it sideways). If you want to use more than three this is possible but make sure your joystick is one of the 3 set to active in the game.

The game shows a maximum of 3 controllers activated at one time. Now, enable all the controllers that will be used. Go into the game and into the controller options screen. Temporarily bind some things to the H-shifter joystick Make sure each controller you are going to use to play the game is installed and calibrated properly, including the joystick.Ģ. Parts between "-" headers should only be read if you meet the condition it states right above them. Parts in red mean that these items can have a different name on your system. Parts in blue refer to text that you might need to change.
#CONTROLLER SUPPORT FOR EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 1 HOW TO#
How to do this is not in the scope of this guide and the difficulty of it depends on the make of your joystick.īecause the controller setup for both ETS2 and STDS is very similar the whole guide will work for either game.

Meaning you can have your joystick's spring active (default) or you can remove the spring to avoid the joystick automatically snapping back to its center. The guide allows for the use of both joystick spring-configurations. This guide will teach you how to use any joystick as H-shifter along with your normal controls (a steering wheel + pedals, a gamepad, a keyboard etc.). And of course, an H-shifter is much more realistic. In my mind, shifting with a sequential gearbox (with an up and down button) is far from ideal because you can't skip gears when upshifting for example. The guide is meant for those who don't have a Logitech G27 or an other wheel with an included H-shifter. And from my understanding, the majority of the Dutch can read English well enough to understand everything. I wrote this guide in English so it will be available to everyone rather than just the Dutch. Message me if you want this guide featured somewhere.
