OK you could edit the actionmap file for the controller, so that you can double map the same axis for 2 functions.
I do this when I want a look to apex function, I have the look left and look right function mapped to the same axis as the steering. So when I turn the wheel my head turns too.
If you try to do this in the game, then as you map one function, it unmaps the other function, which is not what you want. So it must be done in the actionmap file.
You can try this :-
1/ Browse to your Steam install folder > steamapps > common > f1 2012 > actionmap folder
2/ Copy the
Fanatec CSR Wheel.xml file, and paste it straight back into the same folder, this will give you a backup file
3/ Using a text editor (I recommend the free
Notepad++), edit the original
Fanatec CSR Wheel.xml
4/ Go to lines 128-129 which is this :-
Code:
Action actionName="Replay Rewind">
<Axis axisName="win_con_di_axisRz" deviceName="0eb70011" baseCalibration="uniDirectionalNegative" deadZone="0" saturation="1.0" />
5/ Change the lines to this :-
Code:
<Action actionName="Replay Rewind">
<Axis axisName="win_con_di_axisX" deviceName="0eb70011" baseCalibration="biDirectionalLower" deadZone="0.02" saturation="1.0" />
6/ Now go to lines 144-145 which is this :-
Code:
<Action actionName="Replay Fast Forward">
<Axis axisName="win_con_di_axisY" deviceName="0eb70011" baseCalibration="uniDirectionalNegative" deadZone="0" saturation="1.0" />
7/ Change the lines to this :-
Code:
<Action actionName="Replay Fast Forward">
<Axis axisName="win_con_di_axisX" deviceName="0eb70011" baseCalibration="biDirectionalUpper" deadZone="0.02" saturation="1.0" />
8/ Save the file, and make sure it is saved as an .xml file and is called
Fanatec CSR Wheel.xml
You have remapped the fast forward and rewind to your steering wheel axis
. So once you enter rewind mode, steering left and right
should now work for FF & RW
9/ You have to make the game read this file again, because it is read only once and stored in your profile. So when you start the game,
Start it with your keyboard enter key, do not use the buttons on the wheel. This sets the default controller to keyboard.
10/ Go into your options and re-select the default CSR wheel
, this will read the file you edited.
11/ Now remap any other key or buttons you have changed in the past
, and set your linearities etc. The Force Feedback Settings will not have changed.
You should be good to go now ..... I hope
Keep a copy of this new xml file, because if you ever have to verify your game cache, steam might over-write it with the standard original file ...
BTW The original mappings look like they are the default pedal sliders/axis, so it was probably the brake and throttle
This would work with any wheel, as long as you edit the correct actionmap .xml file. The only difference the device number will be different for each controller i.e this bit
deviceName="0eb70011"
Just look at the controller setting line for the axis you want to use, like the left and right steering axis I use above, then paste that setting to a function you want to map it to
