CONTROLS

[I be pilot]

The controls for this simulator should be more simplistic. They should be more like the farming simulator 2015 where there is a hint bar on the top left conner of the screen. This helped me a lot more to understand the controls better. So all I'm saying is to make to controls less complicated.

Totally agree

I was trying to play the game with the Steam Controller and edit my own Config. It's really hard to find a simple one, that includes all functions. Farming Simulator 2015 is really easy to play with the Steam Controller since you got those tooltips and a very nice default config which is working quite intuitive (with Left and Right Bumper buttons as mode shifter for the vehicle sub functions).

I gonna share my config as soon as I'm done, still got some issues with some vehicles. The problem of the Construiction Simulator is that every vehicle got it's own config. I really need one because I ordered a Steam Machine and gonna try play this game with SteamOS and the Steam Controller exclusively - I must be mad

Posting you own config is a good idea. I'll do that too.
To be honest that's the kind of things that's difficult to do for the dev team, and should come from the community. There are so many possible configs that the devs can't satisfy everyone. Some play with keyboard and mouse only, some have a controller, some have joysticks and wheels, etc. Possibilities are endless.
The job of the dev team is to make the game flexible, i.e. to provide a way to make your own config. The system in CS2015 could be easier, but is limited to what Unity offers, and by quirks in the Windows OS.
Users in the community should post their configs here, in no time we would have a lot of different ones.

dont even think about trying to play it with a Xbox 360 controller, its impossible to even turn the camera itself

This game looks quite good but controling the machines can be annoying with keyboard. It could be alot easier, specially for beginner players. You state that buttons in the tutorial are using joypad buttons but nothing for keyboard. Im looking under the key configiuration for the key to couple a trailer yet i didn't realise i needed to hit Shift+C as it only states C under the key config.

Its one of those games you reset you're keyboard controls to play as some of the default settings are a bit confusing.

Has anyone tried the Logitech G27 system?

[KoalaTeaTimes]

Dual joystick setup? Has anyone tried this at all? Is it even possible?

[Chacal]

Sure. Been doing this since the game was published 3 years ago.
I don't know how anyone can play without this.

Controls are good once you get used to them, i got used to moving the tracks, you just have to get used too moving with both tracks instead of the usual one key movement, once you get the hang of tabbing between modes the game's controls become much easier.

Its handy that you can bring up the option menu for all the modes functions, that helps to get to know you're machines controls.

I have set my controllers like they are in real life. This way I just operate the same as in real life.
