    I have a steering wheel (Logitech Driving Force GT), and its buttons are labelled “BUTTON0”–“BUTTON20” in the game. Can I change the labels to something more descriptive like “R2”, “L2”, “Start”, “Select”, “+”, “−”?

    If I see a prompt to press BUTTON15, I don't know immediately what that means, and I must look for it. If the prompt was to press −, I would know immediately to press the button labelled “−”.

    I imagine that I could set the labels to any text, but something premade would probably suffice.

    It is kind of annoying, the same on controller (except the joysticks). For me it even only shows the keybind for keyboard, so I just have to remember what I assigned where.

    You can even see the labels (and change them) in the windows registry, sadly the game does not use those.
