Hey guys! 

 

So, I decided to play around with the mod "Manual Transmission" just to add additional realism on top of my current LSPDFR experience, this allows me to use my pedals, shifter and wheel for GTA V including some very simple key binds (Within the mod itself). 

 

Here comes the tricky part, and I'm not even sure if would be possible to do, I'm looking for a proper mapping sheet for Logitech G29, so I can see exactly what the names of the different buttons are on the wheel, the reason for this is that I would like to map ELS functions on some buttons to make it a walk on ice to start/stop sirens/lights. 

 

Afaik, it does not seem like GTA V is detecting my G29, which means there's probably some API behind "Manual Transmission" so only that mod can detect it? I'm basically just guessing here, I haven't asked the developer of the mod just yet, as I wanted to try my luck here first to see if anyone actually incorporated keybinds on the G29 wheel for specific things? 

 

I realize there is software that can translate button press to key press, this would be last resort in case it's simply not possible, but it's not a optimal solution either.  

 

Thanks for your time! 🙂

Well, you can't remap ELS "controller" controls. Only the keyboard ones.

 

Tbh, you'd have to ask someone who really knows but I am not sure steering wheels are supposed to work with GTA V.

Thanks for the reply, yeah that's what I figured as well, but never hurts to ask the experts 😉

 

As for the steering wheel, I mean if you get the mod Manual Transmission and once you're satisfied with the settings, it works like a charm, played a few hours last night with huge success. It is indeed true that steering wheels were never supposed to work with GTA V, but with this mod it does. 

 

In the end I might end up getting a button press to key press translator, in order to achieve this. 

 

I will keep the thread open to any suggestions for now. 

I'm sure a steering wheel works fine with GTA V, but ELS itself can't be remapped for Controllers, which the steering wheel falls under.

So that options already crossed out.

 

I guess you could try contacting the developer of the Manual Transmission mod.

He made that mod for a reason, so he probably knows more than the LCPDFR forum does. 🙂

Thanks guys!

 

So, I ended up actually using the Logitech G Hub software, where you can assign key presses to a button on the wheel. 

 

Bound "Square"-button to "J" key and "Circle"-button to "K", and already tested. (IT WORKS!) 

 

This allows me to control ELS from my steering wheel 😄

 

If there should be anyone with a burning desire to setup their steering wheels for GTA V, feel free to hit me I've been messing around with this for a good couple of hours, and I feel like I have found a suitable and somewhat realistic feel. 

 

This thread is considered resolved. 

Good find!

 

Also, since you can change the keyboard mappings for ELS, the customization should be more than good now. 🙂

Indeed, with the G Hub Software possibilities went from limited to endless! Worked on mapping all the necessary / must-have features onto the steering wheel last night, somehow it made my game so much more fun! 😄

 

Still have some adjustments to make in regards to the FFB and responsiveness of the wheel and the actual car correspondence in-game, but that's going to be a long and tiring process. I might play around with Gear Ratios to match the real car counterpart specs to add even more realism. Might have to consider that for a while, if so I will definitely share it with the community once done 🙂

hey, so i just got the wheel and all that and want to config the wheel like you are. Any way you finished that? lol

 

Hey dude! I´m doing the same, it´s such a game changer. What I found is that upon pc start the remapped x button registers as a ´J´ like intented. But sometimes the remapped key doesn´t work. Would you know a solution for this?

 

Edit: the lgs software seems to stop working once I start up GTA
