USB splitter shifter not working

[Andrew]

hey guys, so i recently bought a splitter shifter on amazon and I cannot get ATS to recognize this. It seems to be working properly under my USB controllers and can toggle the switches and everything but when I open the game nothing comes up. Ive tried updating drivers and still nothing. I have a logitech G29 and logitech driving force shifter and those are working fine

Did you go to Options >> Controls and check the dropdown at the top to make sure that it would be enabled in the game? You can have up to 5 devices here by default.

When you do set this up transmission must be on H-Shifter.

Shifter Toggle 1 is the Range Selector.
Shifter Toggle 2 is the splitter.

Shifter toggles use switch mode box must be checked.

ETA: if you use any of the Eaton Fuller transmissions in the game...10, 13, or 18 speed, then you will not want to assign any "shifter gates" as these are already set. If you don't happen to know the shift pattern then I will suggest looking up an image online of the pattern.

yeah thats the issue im running across is that the shifter is not popping up in the drop down menu.

1. Is the switch connected directly to the USB port or via a USB hub? The latter can lead to problems.
2. Rename the files "global_controls.sii" from the folder "...Documents/American Truck Simulator", "config.cfg", "config_local.cfg" and "controls.sii" from the folder "...Documents /American Truck Simulator/profiles/[cryptic name]" (e.g. add _old). Will you then see the switch in the selection?

Do you have a link to the specific shifter adapter you purchased?

As usual it's randomly hiding messages for approval.

in controls select one of the line that has none in it and select Arduino Micro

Hi guys, i have the same problems with shifter. I played with shifter a lot. But i didn't played last few weeks. In game controls it drop down, but toggles not reacting. In PC controls toggles reacts good. Can be reason in last game updates?

Did you ever get this fixed ? I’m having the same problem with another shifter also bought on Amazon . Mine has worked for a couple months then suddenly stopped working . I tested to see if it’s broken but it works fine , but ATS doesn’t seem to recognize it either .

I don't know if it'll help you guys situation, but I also have one I got on amazon that's a proper eaton shifter knob, and I had to unplug and plug it back in whenever I started my PC up or it wouldn't be detected. I bought a switch so I didn't have to unplug it anymore, and just toggle it.

Also when started the game I always toggle both switches once after the games loaded up or it won't read properly.

I'd try unplugging and plugging it back in first, BEFORE starting the game.
