How to use any wheel in Lawn Mowing Simulator.

How to use any wheel in lawn mowing simulator. NOTE: Developers have added proper wheel support so this guide is not needed (unless your wheel somehow doesn't work ingame)

1. Introduction

Hello. I have been looking for many ways to use even my Thrustmaster wheel in Lawn Mowing Simulator, I've thought of multiple ways but this is the best one so far. This definitely isn't perfect but it will do (hopefully) until we get actual support for Thrustmaster wheels and whatever other wheels there are. This guide is quite simple, so you should be able to follow it pretty easily.

2. How to download and setup x360ce for Lawn Mowing Simulator

First step is to install x360ce, what it essentially does is convert a wheels input into a controllers input. It's quite simple to download, just go to https://www.x360ce.com/ and press the "Download for all games" button (shown on the pictures).

2.1 Extracting and running x360ce

After the first step extract your files and run "x360ce.exe" as administrator (shown on the pictures).

2.2 What to do in x360ce

This is what it should look like currently:
Assuming it does, you have to add your wheel to x360ce through the green plus button which says "Add" (shown on the pictures).

Now you should see something like this pop up:

Choose your steering wheel from there and press the button that says "Add Selected Device" (shown on the pictures).

In this case my wheel is "Thrustmaster TMX" so I'm choosing that one, yours might be different.

2.3 Setting up your wheel

After you have done the previous step, you should be now able to configure all of your settings. My settings work pretty well so I would recommend just copying my preset (so just copy it):
<PadSetting>
<PadSettingChecksum>4ebd52b1-d846-b66e-47d6-046660849b3a</PadSettingChecksum>
<ButtonA>5</ButtonA>
<ButtonB>9</ButtonB>
<ButtonX>3</ButtonX>
<ButtonY>10</ButtonY>
<DPadDown>d3</DPadDown>
<DPadLeft>d4</DPadLeft>
<DPadRight>d2</DPadRight>
<DPadUp>d1</DPadUp>
<ForceEnable>1</ForceEnable>
<GamePadType>1</GamePadType>
<LeftMotorPeriod>60</LeftMotorPeriod>
<LeftThumbAxisX>a1</LeftThumbAxisX>
<LeftTrigger>a-2</LeftTrigger>
<RightMotorPeriod>120</RightMotorPeriod>
<RightTrigger>a-6</RightTrigger>
<LeftThumbLinearX>10</LeftThumbLinearX>
<ButtonADeadZone>8192</ButtonADeadZone>
<ButtonBDeadZone>8192</ButtonBDeadZone>
<ButtonBackDeadZone>8192</ButtonBackDeadZone>
<ButtonStartDeadZone>8192</ButtonStartDeadZone>
<ButtonXDeadZone>8192</ButtonXDeadZone>
<ButtonYDeadZone>8192</ButtonYDeadZone>
<LeftThumbButtonDeadZone>8192</LeftThumbButtonDeadZone>
<RightThumbButtonDeadZone>8192</RightThumbButtonDeadZone>
<LeftShoulderDeadZone>8192</LeftShoulderDeadZone>
<RightShoulderDeadZone>8192</RightShoulderDeadZone>
<DPadDownDeadZone>8192</DPadDownDeadZone>
<DPadLeftDeadZone>8192</DPadLeftDeadZone>
<DPadRightDeadZone>8192</DPadRightDeadZone>
<DPadUpDeadZone>8192</DPadUpDeadZone>
</PadSetting>

After this just press the "Paste Preset" button below (shown in the pictures). I also recommend to turn your rotation angle to 360 degrees, just overall improves the steering.

You can freely mess around to see if there is anything that makes the steering better.

3. Conclusion

This definitely isn't the best solution to this but it's better than playing with a controller or keyboard in my opinion. I'd rather play with this and wait for actual wheel support. The dead zone in the game is a bit big at least in my testing, but there is probably some tweaking you can do in x360ce to make the steering faster and better. I really hope it was easy and fun to follow this tutorial and not so complicating, please leave a comment if something is too hard to understand. Also please leave a rating (I'd really appreciate it).

Thank you for reading.

Using T300 with T3PA Pro pedals, rebinding the steering wheel itself worked, I just mimicked all the default button positions as gamepad.

The pedals though, are a different story, tried all sorts of combinations to configure to work, tried having them set as separate and combination pedals didn't work, adjusting the reported axis in x360ce as inverted, half inverted and normal didn't work, re calibrating via the game didn't work. Such a shame too.

Doesnt even work. Im not dealing with these lazy ass devs not even being able to code a basic function into the game.

Heya, glad you got it working! I am not too sure about what the problem with the mouse might be as this is something I have not experimented with too much. I can definitely agree the steering can be very frustrating since well, your steering wheel is not supposed to act like a controller.

After some more effort, I did get it to work. I may just keep the game. The steering is a bit frustrating and the fact the mouse stops working when the wheel is working and vice versa, but it's heaps better than keyboard/mouse. Thanks for the guide!

Id try to make an own wheel config since mine might be different than yours. If you still need assistance you can add me on steam or discord > awsumturtle#2957

I have a G27 and I couldn't get it to work well. Gas was brake and brake was gas, and even if I were to past that, it disabled mouse look. If I tried to use the mouse it disabled the wheel like they were in conflict somehow.
