Main arm control on wheeled exavator
Is there a way to change the main arm up/down movement to be like on the other excavators?

Its kinda annoying how the controls are assigned now,

To use the main arm on excavators, you use W/S to move it up and down. For the wheeled excavators, this control is Shift+W or S, which is not logical to operate. Is it possible to change this?

The extra arm the wheeled excavators have, should be swapped with the main arm controls

Could It be under controls and labelled "Excavator Control (Extended)"?
Try to re-map those key-binds.

I don't know where you got the Shift+W from. But wheeled excavators require to have their working modes changed first (by using tab), then you can control the boom using WASD and the arrow keys.

I know that. That's not what i'm saying. The issue is that the main arm, is the part which is connected to the base of the excavator. But on the wheeled version, it's the extra moveable arm

I can't because you can only change the extended arm control on wheeled excavators. W and S control the extended arm on wheeled excavators and Shift + W or S controls the main arm, while on tracked excavators, the main arm is controlled with W and S.

There needs to be extra changable controls wheeled excavators, or on the wheeled excavators, the main and extended arm controls should be swapped
