How to force the key setting for controller

[Cacciatore]

I just want a different set for cars and plane, but I found it is difficult to change key setting because the game will replace the key map automatically to avoid conflict of same key. How could I change my key set for my controller.

If you open the game config folder: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\The Crew 2\ and open Bindings_*.xml file in it corresponding to your controller, you will see a huge group of bindings called "ShortcutBindingsChannel" that has features like BackOnTrack, MainMenu, GoogleMap, Nitro, LightCallHorn, EmotePanel, MiniMap, etc.

As far as I understand that group of bindings will be always the same for all vehicles no matter what. Same with "CameraBindings" group. They're called General Controls in the game.

Only those bindings that placed in a separate group called "DrivingBindings" can be different for different vehicles, cause they have separate settings for steering, throttle, brakes and gears, for example, "RoadThrottle" and "RoadBrake" for ground vehicles, "BoatThrottle" and "BoatBrake" for boats, as well as "AirplaneThrottle", "AirplaneBrake" for planes.

The only way to work around that is to try to use multiple controllers and try to config each one of them through its own Bindings_*.xml file. Can't guarantee that it will work, because I have only one controller, but I have a steering wheel as well, and it has its own Bindings_*.xml file corresponding to my steering wheel Device ID.
