Make Throttle and Brake possible on one axis

[Sergeybond97]

I'm using old steering whell with one axis on Steer and another on Throttle/Brake. Here I can't use throtte and brake simultaniously because game allow me to setup only one axis on Thottle and another axis on Brake and i don't have another axis.

Update:

Found solution in changing config file by hand.

Here part of it:

"raceCommandAxisList": [
{
"axisIndex": 0,
"axisCode": "Steer",
"minRange": 1,
"maxRange": -1
},
{
"axisIndex": 1,
"axisCode": "Gas",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": -1
},
{
"axisIndex": 1,
"axisCode": "Brake",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": 1
}
],

I am having same problem with old Logitech wheel, I tried to map the throttle and brake but the paddles share an Axis and it only lets me bind to one. Can you please tell me more about changing the config file if that worked for you? I copy and pasted what you had listed here but I'm not sure how this is suppose to work

Config text I wrote should work ( i hope :) ).

First, try to config control in game (All buttons that you need, wheel, and one of the pedals). There is advanced settings for axes where you can see bar (how you axis work), for pedal axis you need to know start and end points for break and throttle. Axis have value from -1 to 1. ( In my case Gas from -1 to 0, break from 0 to 1 ). Also in advanced setting you can invert control (It may be necessary after setting config file).

After game, open config file. Main control config is in:
"C:\Users\...\Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Config\control.json"
And in game you can save other configs in folder:
"C:\Users\...\Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Customs\Controls".
But now we need main config.

Find "raceCommandAxisList"
Delete unnesassary parts ( from { to } ) with strings: "axisCode": "Gas", "axisCode": "Brake"
Add:

{
"axisIndex": 1,
"axisCode": "Gas",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": -1
},
{
"axisIndex": 1,
"axisCode": "Brake",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": 1
}

1) axisIndex - your pedals axis ( Number you can see in game while you config control )
(In our case for gas and break number must be same)
2) axisCode - which pedal we want to setup (Gas or Break)
3) minRange, maxRange - values in axis responded to the pedal ( you can see bar in advanced settings in game )

Save config and in Windows go to file setting and check "Read only" (Just in case)

Launch game and try)

If some pedal is inverted go to setting and in advanced axis setting check "Invert"

If you have any questions, write, I will try to answer

Hey, thanks for the hint on fixing that single axis controller, Sergeybond97!!

I have a MadCatz MicroCon wheel using single brake/accel axis and been looking for a fix. Will try it and definitely let you know if it works when I try it tonight.

[n2abstract]

Yes!!! At long last!

For the MadCatz I have to do a bit of tweaking. Here's what mine looks like in case anyone else out there still owns one of these steering wheels:

"raceCommandAxisList": [
{
"axisIndex": 2,
"axisCode": "Gas",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": 1
},
{
"axisIndex": 2,
"axisCode": "Brake",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": -1
},
{
"axisIndex": 0,
"axisCode": "Steer",
"minRange": -1,
"maxRange": 1
}
],

Cheers!

Yo man! Is there any chance you found a fix for this? I’m having the same problem now years later.

For this reason alone (where it shows clearlly):

https://virtualracingschool.com/academy/tag/help/
Brake and throttle have moments where both are being used simultaneously, for the reason of keeping the weight transfer controlled so grip is as optimal as possible during all times into, through and out of the turn for maximum effectiveness to lead to faster times.

Sure, anyone can drive without ever having brake and throttle being applied at the same time, but it is far from optimal at many situations

So not adviseable (and reason why as far as I know no car irl have brake and throttle on same "axis"/"input").
If still you want brake and throttle to be at the same axis and the solution OP presented work... A more "neutral driving" with coasting or "fast transition" will be required but it may unsettle the car or require you to go slower on many turns.

i made the exact same complaint and as well dropped this game a poor review, because they did the same thing with the pad controls ie they have enforced a what they believe is ok control scheme to use instead of as previously in assetto corsa allowed me the player to decide how i want to control the car, i mean why?, why not just let the player choose, surely they are the ones with the best knowledge of how they want to control the game right?

What i'm getting at here is this; i use and have always used the right analogue stick for the function of accelerate and brake, this goes back years and years, it's as second nature to me as invert up/down is which i have also always used. And here come Kunos who then arrogantly decide that even though they don't even play with these controls that everyone who does has to use the L2/R2 triggers for these functions instead of letting players bind what they want to use like they did with the original assetto corsa., as i said in my case the right analogue stick as a combo for throttle/brake just as you are asking for an older wheel
I have an older and working wheel, but due to constant updates to the operating system upgrading now to win 11 from 10 etc, or BIOS updates, i basically can never get it working anymore (g25)..
If it had not been for this overlook and bigoted arrogance in design choice; i would of dropped a positive review but in my view their decision to do this was both bigoted and arrogant. i really hope they revert with this design choice for Assetto Corsa Evo. Quite simply this is not their decision to make it's ours the players.

Looking what Kunos did to FFB (killed almost entirely every feeling that is not pure steering rack feel), I kind of doubt they wil revert in AC EVO but.. who knows, maybe they do.

Still, Steam Bigpicture is your friend and you may be able to set throttle as forward and brake as backward (tho again not recommended but you do you), you may even set controller binding as kb&m and set it however you may want.
