Posted this on steam, where the mod originates.
I found that the race engineer kept changing the profiles over as VA sometimes thought he was saying "set race" or "set quali" etc. So I changed the line to "Race Profile", "Quali Profile" and "Practice Profile" to get around that issue.
I also added my own joystick commands as I use the Xbox One Controller for Windows.
I added commands so that if I press D-Pad UP, it presses keyboard up. If I press D-Pad RIGHT, it presses keyboard right.
This way I can still get the driver to change his own fuel mix and brake balace rather than having to speak aloud. After all, it is the driver's hands doing those tasks, not his voice over radio.
To add these in, you need to go to:
- Options > Joystick Options and tick the 'Enable Joystick' box, then select your controller. (In my case "Controller, XBOX One For Windows")
- Tick the "Enable Joystick 1 POV Hat Switches" box.
- In the POV 1 Switches row, check the '4' circle and hit OK.
Then go to your Practice Profile and hit edit profile to add in the new entries.
- Go to 'New Command'
- Uncheck the "When I say" box ---BUT--- leave some wording in the textbox so you know what this is.
- Check the "When I press button" box and you should get a prompt to press a joystick D-Pad button. Let's use the D-Pad UP button for this example. It should say Joystick 1, POV 1 when you hit it.
- Press OK to close the button assignment window.
Back in the Add Command window, set the following sequence
- "When this command executes, do the following sequence:
----- Press Up key and hold for 0.4 seconds and release
Make sure the key press is set to STANDARD and NOT Windows Game (Direct X) otherwise these will not work at all.
That's it!
Repeat the process for the other three D-Pad buttons, assigning them to the appropriate right, down and left keyboard buttons, and then add them to all three profiles (Practice, Quali and Race)
Now you can still use the old D-Pad menu, as well as speaking to your engineer
