(Tutorial) How to get your steering wheel revlights to work on BeamNG

Hi,

This tutorial works for almost any steering wheel that has revlights.

What you need :
- FanaLEDs (https://www.fanaleds.com/downloads)
- OutGauge support enabled (In-Game settings -> Others -> OutGauge Support. Leave default parameters)
- Your steering wheel plugged in and BeamNG started.

1. Open FanaLEDs, click on the top left "File" button, then click "Open Settings Folder".



2. Find "beamng.xml". If you don't have it, make sure your game is started. Open the file with the text editor of your choice.

3. On lines 8, 9, and 10, you have a "port" that is defined by default at 30000 or something. Change these ports to 4444.



4. Save file, and restart FanaLEDs.

5. Uncheck all the boxes in "Rumble effects" on the main page of FanaLEDs.



6. Click on the top "Hardware" button, you should see your wheel. In my case it is a Logitech G27. Click on it.



7. There you should see the available revlights of your steering wheel. In my case, I have 5x2 revlights (symetric revlights). Click on the first one, and select "Revleds 011%" in the list under your revlights preview. Repeat for all your revlights by incrementing depending of your number of revlights available.

In my case, the first one is set to 11%, the second 33%, the third 55%, the 4th 77% and the 5th 100%.




8. In the same menu, at the bottom, you should have "Selected revled style". Choose "2) Converging". Then close this menu.




9. On the main page, click on the top "Advanced" button, then "Car settings".




10. If you plan an using only one car with revlights on, then click on "default" in the list under. If you plan using multiple cars, create a new one simply by typing a profile name.




11. Edit "RPM first" and the others depending on how your revlights go in-game.
In my case with my selected car, the first revlights start at 5000 RPM, the next one at 6000, then 7000, and finally 7500.

RPM shift corresponds to the "blinking" phase of your revlights. For me it is 8000.

Final gear is simply the number of gears you have in your car. In my case I have a 7 gears gearbox, so I simply put 7. If you have a 6 gears gearbox, then type 6, etc...

Leave "Brake threshold" and "Wheel angle" at 0. You won't need those.

When you're finished, click on "Save".

12. Back on the main page, you can choose the timing at which you want your revlights to blink when you need to upshift. I defined my at 50ms.



You can then select your car profile (default, or the ones you created) just on top of the Upshift option.

13. On the bottom of FanaLEDs, click "Save settings to active profile". You may now need to restart FanaLEDs and to respawn your BeamNG car.



That's it! Your revlights should be working.

Tell me if you have any questions.

Have a good day,

You need to close BeamNG first, I had the same problem!
