Auto Center In Cab Camera

This will give directions on how to set your in cab camera to auto center when looking around instead of having to press the center button each time (5 on number pad).

A Few Notes

A few things to note before continuing:

1. This has been tested on versions 1.30, 1.31, and 1.32 Open Beta. As files sometimes change from version to version, using the guide on older versions may break your game.
   
2. This guide will modify your TrackIR settings, and since I don't use this feature I can't verify how this will effect the TrackIR devices.
   
3. Your camera keys will have to be held down to continue looking, since the whole point of this is to auto center your camera.
   
4. The mouse will no longer automatically move the camera. You will need to hold the left mouse button for camera movement.
   
5. If you are using a controller with the thumb stick acting as a mouse input for looking around, then you will need to map another controller button to act as the mouse left button. (It is best to change your thumb stick to act as a direction pad in the game pad configuration to use with this guide).
   
6. This will also work on American Truck Simulator.

Instructions

Here's all you have to do.

Step 1
To start you will need to go to your profile folder for ETS 2. Default is C:\Users\(your user name)\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles\(profile you want to edit) .

Step 2
Make a copy of the controls.sii file.

Step 3
Open original controls.sii in a text editor.

Find

config_lines[147]: "mix trackiron `trackir.device.active?0`"
 config_lines[148]: "mix trackiryaw `trackir.device.position.yaw?0`"
 config_lines[149]: "mix trackirpitch `trackir.device.position.pitch?0`"
 config_lines[150]: "mix trackirroll `trackir.device.position.roll?0`"
 config_lines[151]: "mix trackirx `trackir.device.position.x?0`"
 config_lines[152]: "mix trackiry `trackir.device.position.y?0`"
 config_lines[153]: "mix trackirz `trackir.device.position.z?0`"

Replace with

config_lines[147]: "mix trackiron `1 - (mouse.button_left?0 + keyboard.num4?0 + keyboard.num6?0 + keyboard.num7?0 + keyboard.num9?0)`"
 config_lines[148]: "mix trackiryaw `0.0`"
 config_lines[149]: "mix trackirpitch `-0.0`"
 config_lines[150]: "mix trackirroll `trackir.device.position.roll?0`"
 config_lines[151]: "mix trackirx `0.0`"
 config_lines[152]: "mix trackiry `0.0`"
 config_lines[153]: "mix trackirz `0.0`"

Step 4
Save controls.sii and enjoy the game.

[h1] You can bind a button to change the camera or any specific camera option, even if you are in first person, going into first person will center the camera. [/h1]

The config_lines[#] have probably changed in the new SCS files. Just need to replace the ones listed above with the new numbers, but keep everything between the " " the same as above. The settings stay between new versions so I haven't looked at the files in a while.

Didn't work for me :(

That sounds like a calibration problem or a bad joystick. Post your question in the ETS2 forum, since you'll get more help from people who use the same or similar wheels (I use a Steam Controller).
