Steering Wheel

[Sam]

Love to drive in this game, how do i get a steering wheel to work for it? it doesnt register my pedals or wheel in the controls screen

[leon44gamer]

There is no support for that

[Rivfader]

hotas support will come for helicopters hopefully steering wheel too, we need a clutch also

driving model is really nice made, i love it too. When devs made lot of good work with gears and other driving mechanisms. Im pretty sure, wheel/joystiks support will be add in future, driving model is asking for it.

Controllers support fine steering, braking and thrust, so maybe if you get your hands on an emulator that tricks the game into thinking your wheel setup is an Xbox controller it could work. This sort of stuff seems to exist, look it up. Just wouldn't have any force feedback.

Reforger need the same mechanic like in arma3. There you can drive the car and steer the
steering wheel with the mouse too. It was near perfect. You see a small arrow in the middle of the steering wheel and so when move the mouse first in smaal steps you steer the car with the mouse. But when you move the mouse at the first step fast you look only around (like the "normal" setting you have in Reforger.

Hope you understand what i mean,english is not my mother language.
But arma3 player know what i mean. In arma3 it make a lot of fun to drive vehicles,but in reforger it is horrible with the very unaccurate steering the car to press the keyboard keys.

So with mouse steering you have a more accurate stearing,but with keyboard stearing you have an unaccurate digital steering.

The best will be Bohemia integrate the arma3 vehicle control from arma3 1:1 to reforger (with some modifications perhaps).

Yes, same applies to TrackIR headtracking support. It works perfectly in Arma3, but badly in Reforger. Hopefully they implement it as they did in Arma3 and soon, as I'm used to have my head movement controlled by my head not having to press button on keyboard.

I agree with the commentators: we need normal support for the steering wheel and pedals for cars, an aircraft joystick with pedals, as well as auxiliary control gadgets for players with disabilities

i dont think game has builtin suport for steering wheel. I plugged my wheel in when in a car and nothing recognized, and in the settings all the controller settings are grayed out.

so I downloaded x360ce version 1.4, which is a 3rd party controller emulator, and was able to use the steering wheel in a multiplayer server but with issues.

the game shuts off my mouse and disables it completley when it sees the controller, so its like the controller has prioirty and the steering wheel's inputs causes it to spin through the settings menu's so I can't get in and unbind the controller settings that aren't for vehicles.
but I at least kinda got it working enough to drive a truck.

these are the default controller truck controls, so I used this to assign the axis and buttons of the steering wheel to them in x360ce:
steer: left analog stick left-right
accelerate: right trigger
full throttle: right trigger
brake: left trigger
gear shift up: left analog up
gear shift down: left analog down
reverse: left analog down
so for each of these in x360ce i clicked on the button and then when prompted moved the wheel or pressed the pedals so it would assign it to that xbox controller button.

the game seems to have a deadzone for the steering wheel input, so I had to use the anti-deadzone feature and also increase the sensitivyt of the steering wheel so it matches the in-game steering wheel position. once all that was done it works good if I am in a truck.

But the issue is that the game gives priority to the controller, so it disables my mouse and I have to unplug the controller in order to get the mouse back. If I could find a magic keypress to enable/disable the controller that would be better than unplugging it. or if game would give mouse/keyboard prioirty and let controller inputs be extra.

The developers of Arma Reforger are very short-sighted. If the game has ground vehicles and aircraft, then accordingly there should be support for gadgets to control this equipment. It is very stupid to make it only for a keyboard with a mouse and a gamepad. If support is planned, then I take my words back. But we need to know from official sources, and not guess.
