F1 2013 key = in game does not work

IbnAmmar · Feb 25, 2014

Why at me the key = in game does not work in laptop Clevo? I have full keyboard.
Out of games... key = works perfectly

When I press a key "=" in game - there is no reaction to pressing!
Key "-" working normal !!

Out off game this key "=" works normally

Why not use another key? For what function do you want to use it?

I use this "=" key by default.
- For accelerate time (for example)
Not possible use another key. I do not find such possibility

Oh, you mean the default button for accelerate time is =?

Maybe try pressing it with Shift? Random suggestion, but it might work.

Yes, by default button for accelerate time is = !!! This is displayed in game!
I try pressing with Shift... Ctrl...Alt.... I tried ALL keyboard

) , without result!

No idea mate, sorry. On G27, time acceleration is Gear Up/Gear Down.

I don't remember anymore, but isn't there a button configurable in the game, specifically for Time Acceleration? I doubt it, but check it out nonetheless.

No... Time Acceleration not configurable...

Have you tried contacting the publisher of the game as it sounds like a bug to me.

A solution could be to switch to English keyboard mode... Did you try the shortcut ALT+SHIFT ?

I tried this... I switched to English keyboard mode... without result.

I found in forum on f1carsetup_com site what guy wrote about same problem !!
"....I cant seem to accelerate time when I'm qualifying "=" key does not work
I remember for 2012 I had to edit some sort of text file........"

P.S In F1 2012 I had same problem !

The text file you are probably talking about is the actionmap map for the keyboard (Keyboard.xml), this is in the actionmap folder of your install.

However I see no command that actually maps the = key in that file (or in any other controller's file), which leads me to think that it is unmappable in-game or via the actionmap xml file. Meaning it's probably programmed into the default game files somewhere.

There seems to be no command that looks something like this ( ***Note - This is a fictional mapping that I have created, it doesn't exist) :-

Code:

    <Action actionName = "Accelerate Time" >
        <Axis axisName = "win_key_=" deviceName = "Keyboard" baseCalibration = "uniDirectionalPositive" />

The whole keyboard actionmap xml file is below, and as you can see, it contains nothing like the command I created above :-

Code:

<!-- The RD4 default ActionMap for keyboard -->
<ActionMap deviceType="Keyboard" schemeType="preset0" priority="0" >

  <!-- Vehicle controls -->
  <Action actionName = "Accelerate" >
        <Axis axisName = "win_key_space" deviceName = "Keyboard" baseCalibration = "uniDirectionalPositive" deadZone = "0.0" saturation = "1.0" />

I know ...... I totally made that command up out of my head, it's not a real command. It's the type of command you might expect to see, but it isn't there.

As I said above :-

There seems to be no command that looks something like this ( ***Note - This is a fictional mapping that I have created, it doesn't exist) :-

I'm guessing you are european, and i had the same problem. But the + sign and the sign to the right of it ´

so you have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 + ´ backspace

so the + and ´ are the ones that you tap
