Configureation

[klw]

I have just installed Automobilista 2 and it will not configure my Thrusmaster pedal set. The brake and clutch are inverted, and do not appear to be correctly recognised during Control settings and assignment sections.

[klw]

Help I have spent another 3hrs trying to get AMB 2 to accept my Thrustmaster pedals. I end up with no throttle . Brake. Clutch and throttle together. the whole configuration and editing seems to be in conflict with something. All the Thrustmaster gear works perfectly fine with the other 7 Racing/Rallying games I have. About the only thing I haven't tried is complete uninstall reinstall, but the time involved with that would be rather mind boggling, particularly if the Status Quo were to remain.

are they hooked up to your wheel or via usb?

Everything is hooked via a USB cables. But that is exactly as it has been for many years, and the other 7 games are still working

Try this: make sure your wheel is connected and working, E.G. it completed its calibration then search for "joy.cpl "/ Open it and make sure your wheel is showing up. If your wheel is not showing up then you probably have a driver issue and should reinstall your wheel software and try again. Further more, right click the start menu / Device Manager / human Interface Devices and see if your wheel is listed here. For the G29 you need to see both :
Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing wheel usb
Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing wheel usb (HID)

If your wheel does appear here then click on it then Properties then the "TEST" tab and check that all wheel buttons and peddles / axis work.

If now you open Automobilista 2 make sure you have your wheel selected as your preferred controller. If you can navigate the menus then your wheel should be working. If not, you might need to enter the configuration page for your wheel and possibly buttons also like pause, exit, camera view etc. If still not working then check your wheel with another driving game and again check that joy.cpl still sees your wheel.

If you are a G29 wheel user, you can also try to unplug then replug in your USB cable whilst the Logitech Gaming Software is open (plugging it into power is optional) then right click on the automobilista 2 profile, look for "Test profile" in the drop down menu. Here you can check what each button does and is recognised as pressed within your wheel software


Happy Driving!

I have never had this problem with AMS 2 however, it did used to happen to me with Assetto Corsa which my above explanation worked 100% getting my wheel working without having to restart my PC.

@curious
OP wheel and pedals are recognized by windows and working flawlessly in all other SEVEN games he has.
so, checking windows (your first part of troubleshooting) is unnecessary

the only thing i would suggest is to learn where his controller setting is in AMS2 docs folder, delete it and setting his wheel from the start.

you said you had issues in AC and your (g29) wheel. never had this, in kunos (and most developers AFAIK) games, the wheel settings file is a json (open for editing/saving manually) and not an encrypted file that can only be edited while in game, i've saved my preferred settings once and use that profile for years IN BOTH AC and ACC and im pretty sure i can use this same 7 years old settings.json in ACE too.


i would suggest to go in reiza forums, see how many users have problems with binding/calibrate their gear (no matter what brand and drivers used) and you will realise that there is something in AMS2 (i call it madness, pun indented) which makes this controller settings file to get corrupted from time to time without obvious reasons.
im not a frequent AMS2 driver (8 hours in steam, i had it since v 1.2 or something), yet i had to recalibrate/reassign my wheel and pedals 4 times (so far).
but i knew the process since my PC2 days, so i was prepared...

PS: FYI, reiza's AMS1 (a game that justifies the term "SIMULATOR" in his title, IMHO) never had any controller issues.

Make sure the 'combined' options is not used in AMS2 when you select your wheel and pedals version

Certainly got set to separate, have tried it both ways, no good. About posts are writing G29, All my gear is Thrustmaster and was bought as a package. All my other games are working fine. It only affecting AMS 2

we KNOW
now you know too.
learn to deal with it.
delete controller settings from docs folder and manual rebind and re-calibrate your wheel. again and again till you get it right.
and remember this for the future, you will need it.
FYI, in reiza forums there are people (reiza backers/paddock members and AMS2 "veterans" with ~2000 posts in reiza forums, not casual and new players who dont know how to set up their gear for AMS2) reporting they lose controls in MP sessions and need to restart to get them back

its not your PC, its not your wheel drivers or software.
its madness...
deal with it
