Saitek Heavy Eqpt. Pedal & wheel with sidepanel not showing properly.

[Citadel]

Well, the title is a mouthful, however what I mean here is- The controls in the top left are predominantly showing my wheel & pedal controls, and acting like the side panel doesn't exist. In controls everything is bound, and the side panel works. But it's only showing the wheels controls.

Any ideas, or solutions really, on how to fix this? or am I just S.O.L

You say the controls are bound, so they work ingame?
But the F11 Help hud only shows your steering wheel?

I'll see how it goes when I re-install my Saitek Heavy equipment wheel and pedal. While I'm off from work this week, it gave me a chance to fish that out of storage and put it on.

Yeah, I'm having same thing as Citadel have. I remember playing FS17 with both steering and side button working - but I also remembering having Saitek software that allow me to customize button binding.

Precisely, the controls are bound so they work in-game, but the F11 HUD only show's my steering wheel's controls.

I figured it out. After searching all over websites, forums (including Reddit, Giants, etc...) and Logitech - none helping.

So, I went ingame and found that we CAN bind side panel.

Go ingame and in Main Menu area.
Go to Options.
Go to Keyboard Controls (the one with keyboard buttons).
Look on the bottom with three options, click "Gamepad" or hit "X" on your keyboard.

There is two columns of keying binds. I changed few as I assigned some to side buttons and it worked. But when I hit "Reset" button and it automatically change all from my Xbox One Controller to my Saitek Heavy Equipment & Side Panel.

Then I went back in game and played with it. It worked.

I hope it helped.

While this isn't what i'm referring to, I appreciate it.

I can bind the sidepanel controls just fine. But the HUD in the top left is showing bindings for my wheel, whereas I need the bindings for the sidepanel.

What's also annoying is how the wheel has 12 axis's, and I need to adjust the wheel's deadzone, but none of the axis's are labeled.

Ah. I always write it down. It would be nice to have that.

I saw that Axis deadzone in Giants forum.

Axis 1 & 2 are left thumbstick
Axis 3 & 4 are right thumbstick
Axis 5 is wheel
Axis 11 is right pedal
Axis 12 is left pedal.

You're a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ legend. Thank you so much.

You can also unplug the wheel and see if your bindings show for the side panel only

Does it show some weird combination of bindings on your wheel that you have bound to one button on your side panel

Correct, i've thought of going through and removing all of the wheel bindings that aren't really useful.

Maybe we can try move some side panel buttons into first column - will it show? I wonder.

[JMH714]

Confirmed. I moved some button assignments to first column and it showed in HUD.

Anyways, I disconnected the wheel. It's horrible because the camera view kept changing as I move the vehicle. If I go uphill, view would go down and if going downhill, it'll move up. Ugh. Only if Giants add VR, it would work well. Back to Xbox One Controller.
