No Keyboard has anything greater then F12.

lmao, every computer has F1 to F24. Most computers use a Shift+F___ to go to the higher range of options, so Shift+F1 is F13. Some Macs use Shift+ESC+F___ to go to the higher range. I use F13 as my PTT button in a ton of games, or at least those that support mapping it.

You could use the free tool AutoHotkey to make custom commands pretty easily to setup something akin to (taken from another Steam thread that's old):

F14::p ; Wipers
F15::e ; Start/Stop Engine
F17::u ; Lift/Drop Axle
F19::F9 ; Dashboard Map Mode

F13::o ; Beacon
F16::h ; Horn
F18::F10 ; Lift/Drop Trailer Axle

Not being rude/flaming/trolling/mean/etc, but the responses you got initially gave me a good chuckle.

Well, if that's how you want to see it, still no F13 on my keyboard, a lot of keys have a different function when used in a combo, when i press ctrl+A the A is still an A, not a AA, or A+, or whatever :-)

Anyhoo, One could also use something like Simdashboard to map key combo's.

This, plus there are some keyboards that actually have 24 physical F__ buttons.

How would that solve his Problem in mapping specific Keys in the game?

You would map certain keys to the buttons on the wheel so you don't have to use the keyboard as much.

Unfortunately the game does not recognize the true upper F keys, or I could not get it to recognize them even with editing the controls.sii. I have tried virtual and low level key presses, the game just does not see them as inputs. 😥

But you can add modifier F Keys by editing the controls.sii

eg: `modifier(shift_only, keyboard.f12?0)`"
`modifier(alt_only, keyboard.f12?0)`"

you can also do lalt, ralt, lshift and so on also double modifiers like alt and shift

for everyone saying no keyboard has it, there are a rare few that do but windows recognises f13-24 meaning you can rebind keys to do it either through windows itself or keyboard software like iCue for Corsair users. you can actually download a file that "disables" capslock by changing it to f13, which is what I do because I would rather use Capslock as a push to talk key

Another option (not free) is to use an Elgato Stream Deck. It makes it real easy to use F13-F24.
