    Hello, I got my logitech rumblepad somewhat functional in BeamNg by renaming input maps and stuff but the left thumbstick for steering doesn't do anything. The debug screen in the game shows a thumbl X axis when I move the stick though.
    My input map says this:
    // movement : deadzones and such are in lua for thesemoveMap.bind(%device, thumblx, "D", $gp_deadzone, joy_steer);

    I'd like to know what I need to do to get steering to work in my game!
    Please let me know...

    Thanks;)

    Unless you've just pasted the text wrong, it looks like the line binding the steering axis is in a comment (the //) so it's not being used. Enter it down to the line below and it should work. The line should be moveMap.bind(%device, thumblx, "D", $gp_deadzone, joy_steer); by itself, with nothing before or after it.

    I assume you're on the tech demo; the full game has a different syntax since an update, which you can see here:

    Re: Steering Axis Not Working With Logitech Rumplepad 2

    Thanks for the quick reply, Gabe.
    I am actually running the paid version of BeamNg Drive 0.3.0.5. And I tried re-writing the inputmap to the newer style to no avail... And also, that line of code in the inputmap is not actually commented out, the forum's text editor told me something different than what my final post looked like xD.

    I'm just perplexed as to why every button works except the steering with both styles of inputmaps! The camera, the brakes and the gas all work normally.

    Are you sure "thumblx" is the exact correct name of the axis? No underscores or anything? Maybe if you attach the inputmap I can more easily help :)

    Heres a screenshot showing the dubug menu after I moved the thumbtick, along with the inputmap.

    Try this line?

    %mm.bind(%device, thumblx, "D", $gp_deadzone, steer);

    That line didn't work either. I also tried restarting my computer to see if that would help but it didn't.

    Re: Steering Axis Not Working With Logitech Rumplepad 2

    Well, I'm stumped. The only thing I saw wrong with what you had earlier was the "joy_steer" since all of the 360 controller input maps just have "steer"... it should work. Is the thumblx axis moving fully in the input debug when you move the stick?

    Re: Steering Axis Not Working With Logitech Rumplepad 2

    So I found out by checking the console that the game was looking for two inputmaps, one with a different name than what I gave you(c21e046d.inputmap.cs). And it was also looking for another set with the same names in Vehicles\pickup\inputmaps. So after I created the new file and copied the inputmaps to the pickup's folder the steering worked normally. So odd.:confused:

    Re: Steering Axis Not Working With Logitech Rumplepad 2

    Yes, the game scans for inputmaps in a scripts\client\inputmaps\custom\ folder (which does not exist by default) as well as the current vehicle (we plan to support per-vehicle Lua and inputmaps eventually). If it doesn't find those then it just looks in the normal inputmaps folder. I'm not sure why it would be asking for the wrong inputmap, though I do remember from my first time setting up my own inputmap being confused, as I was using the ID of a device which turned out to just be my keyboard, and not the controller I was setting up. You have to look carefully in the log and make sure it is the controller you're wanting to remap, and not some other device.
