Key and button bindings not working.

[Jeo Nugu]

How did this make it out of beta testing??? Why is there a section for binding keys and buttons if they don't work?

When trying to bind functions to my G27 buttons, half of the time the game doesn't detect the button being pressed when it's waiting for me to assign a button. On top of that, even bindings that are shown don't actually do what they indicate. For example, Num / is bound to "Select Gear D", but it actually makes the seat position move forward.

When I am able to re-bind buttons on my G27, it usually results in the new action AND the default action happening at the same time, or it picks up some random action, even if I clear EVERY binding and start from scratch. For example, I made button 20 my horn button, but when I press it, it sounds the horn, toggles the headlights AND opens the doors!!! WTF????

This game is 100% UNPLAYABLE as it is and I'm *this* close to requesting a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ refund.

That is so strange. I have no problems with my Driving Force GT. When you connect the wheel for the first time, the game configures the keys by itself. Then, in the section wheel you can map whatever you want to the wheel. At this moment its so difficult to map wheel buttons to the "keyboard" section bindings. Hope they will fix that

DITO ++1^

REFUND the GAMEPAD-SuperMarioBUS.
Customers are not beta testers !!

I got a g27 and a Logitech G Saitek Farm Sim Vehicle Side Panel and I can not get the thing to work because it do'not see them but yet the game shows them installed but you can not assign buttons to them

My observations are that inputs are limited to certain device types. As a result, you cannot bind normal keyboard functions to the side panel. BS18 needs to allow binding of any function to any device.

I requested a refund. I'm not in the mood to deal with ♥♥♥♥ games that are half-baked by idiot developers who can't even do a proper beta test.

I am glad to know I am not the only one that can not get the G27 wheel buttons to keybind to the game.....very dissappointing.

As was suggested in another similar thread, try Joy to Key as a possible solution.

Not sure what "Joy to Key" means or how to impliment it.

Tried to find the other thread you mentioned but unable to find it either. Could you explain what "Joy to Key" means.....thanks.

They really do need to let us bind any function to any device, my saitek farm controller is useless :(

[WiskeyBravo]

JoyToKey is a small program that will let you bind your joystick (or other controller) inputs to keyboard inputs. So, you can map a button on a controller like the Logitech Side Panel to keystrokes that BS18 will recognize. Search for JoyToKey and you should see a link to it.

The Side Panel is such a versatile controller. I have one, as well as a button box for ETS/ATS and love the cross-function that they provide. I was really looking forward to using the Side Panel for ticket and change functions, but at least it works for the doors, handbrake, etc... that are mapped in the "wheel" tab.

I may play around with JoyToKey myself to see about getting it to work for other functions that are keyboard or gamepad only. (Seriously, gamepad? I can't stand driving games on a gamepad.)

Just bumping to confirm this is still an issue.

Yeah, I have a similar thing where I can't bind anything now. I use IJKL because I'm left handed and managed to bind forward to I. Yet whenever I click another key bind choice or just ANYWHERE on the screen, it keeps telling me mouse click is already bound with it's duplicate bind message....uhh...not what I want. I can't reset the binds either as that message keeps coming up. All I have connected is my g29 steering wheel, no joypads.

Forward got reset to mouse click and I can't change anything now.

Stuck in a loop, I can escape and re enter the controls. The game kinda recognises I have forward as I as I can run with it, but in the menu it is displayed as click still. Do I really have to do one keybind at a time with backing in and out of menus?

*Edit again*

Turns out I can rebind my controls, in the main menu, NOT in game.

*Edit more*

No can't rebind controls, at least on the steering wheel, it will still use the old binds.....

I'm far too late for a refund as the policy is 2 hours or earlier. I will just have to delete this for good. This is how I felt deleting Win98SE when nothing worked on 64bit and MS had no drivers for a long time under Vista. Windows 7 was essentially a fix for Vista which IMHO MS should've just fixed Vista and left well enough alone.
