Steering wheel and Joystick
To use a steering wheel (or a joy-stick) you must activate them at
joystick-options.
Adjusting might be a necessary option too. After that you can use steering wheel
and keyboard. The constant gas of the driving simulator is deactivated at driving
with the steering wheel. This means that your vehicle gets slower and slower
activity of the accelerator pedal. Therefore always give a little gas during
driving with the steering wheel.
The following adjustings apply to a steering wheel in addition to the keyboard:
Gas-Pedal |
Drive forwards (direct speed) |
![]() |
| Brake pedal | Braking, depending on how far the brake pedal is pushed. Pushing completely down corresponds to an emergency stop. | |
| steer to the right | Steering to the right | |
| Steer to the left | Steering to the left We have adjusted the steering behaviour of your steering wheel to a default. If you liked to carry out customizations here, you can adjust the regulator "steering" in |
|
| Button 1 | Interior mirror - outside mirror- mirror switched off | |
| Button 2 | left schoulder-check | |
| Button 3 | left signalling | |
| Button 4 | Switchover driving "F" or backwards "R".
If the manual gearshift has been selected, automatic system mode will be activated again when pushing the button. |
|
| Button 5 | right schoulder-check | |
| Button 6 | right signalling | |
| Button 7 | Manual gearshift: one gear up | |
| Button 8 | Manual gearshift: one gear down | |
For a joy-stick analogous:
Joy-stick
to the front |
Drive forwards (direct speed) |
| Joy-stick to the bach | Braking, depending on how far the stick is drawn to behind. Pushing to behind completely corresponds to an emergency stop. |
| Joystick to the right | Steering to the right |
| Joystick to the left | Steering to the left |
| Buttons 1-8 | see at the "steering wheel" above. |
These buttons can be configured freely. All other functions must be used at the keyboard.
Joy-stick and steering wheel can be operated also in parallel since the version
4.0. The active input device is the one with
gamecontroller-number
#1 oder #2 in Windows.
Tip:
You can assign up to 10 steering wheel buttons at the
joystick-options.
The 3D Driving-School
supports up to 10 steering wheel/joy-stick buttons, no matter which steering
wheel number you have selected. Both input devices are active. These means at
most 20 buttons are available. By the way, this assignment works also for the
functions of all other
keyboard
adjustings even if these aren't listed here (e.g. the horn).
