How many rims do you own?

I wasn't sure J2K would work between different Fanatec rims as the buttons send the same signals, i.e. each sends button press 1, the issue is that they all have the 'press 1' button in different locations. Can J2K differentiate between different Fanatec wheels - for example could I make the Porsche button 1, the Classic button 2 and the McLaren button 3 all point to key press A?

 

Just one - the Ferrari 599XX Evo 30 Alcantara for my T300.
Love it and don't really feel like I need anything else for now. I go back and forth between track sims and rally (Dirt Rally 2.0) so I like to have a round rim that can do everything.

 

Modern F1 or GT3 cars?

 

Sure... I just adjust the steering rotation accordingly, keep my hands at a 9:15 position and my eyes looking only at the screen to ignore the fact that my wheel is round

I just wish I had a few more buttons and rotary dials on the wheel, but other that I'm happy.

 

I have only single rim attached to my T300GT, but in VR it hardly matters as it's amazing how that single rim may feel different in different cars
In F3/P4 it feels like the exact replica of in game, in Euro Truck Simulator 2 where trucks have those massive wheels, the same rim feels much larger. In other words, get yourself a VR and you'll save money on expensive rims

 

In the app you can set your mapping per wheel. An example,
On wheel A you have normally set the pit limiter to the upper right button.
On wheel B you have the pit limiter set to a lower left button.
In all the race sims you have to set the Pit limiter to the key “P” for example.
In the j2k app you press on wheel A the pit limiter button and you see in the app that button x lights up. You point that button to the “P” (you mapped in the game)
Same for the other wheel.
If you have 4 wheels, you have to make 4 wheel settings in the j2k app. If you then switch a wheel while you’re in the game, you only need to alt tab to j2k en select the current rim you have on your base.
And of course you need to switch the Fanatec Fanalab as well to the correct wheel but that you already have to do when swapping wheels.

I hope this makes sense.

I pointed all my button mappings in all sims at the same keys. no more mapping if I swap a wheel. Perfect.

 

I don't use Fanalabs, will that matter?

 

No.. but I have different settings for each game. But that has nothing to do with button mapping.

 

3 rims here on TS-PC.
Sparco P 310,GT-Racer and the Ferrari F599.
But mostley useing the Sparco,cause i'm lazy - one fits all,driving less F1 cars....he,he

 

What's the intended purpose of the poll?

If it's to help justify multiple controller profiles, then this can be for two reasons, different mappings needed for different wheels, and different mapping required by different cars. I have numerous profiles in rF2 for each class of car I race, and that's sorely missing in AMS2. If I had multiple wheels, then I may need even more profiles to cater for wheels and car classes.

 

Because i saw this post and it got me curious if true and if true made sense for Reiza to not prioritize it but seeing the results i feel it needs to be nearing the top of QOL improvements.

 

99% of times that people use unreferenced percentages in that way, the figures have simply been plucked from thin air.

 

But 74% of the time when i do the dishes it gets me 69% more chance of my wife saying yes and we all know that normally this is a 23-27% range....Figures leant over 27 years of marriage

 

But don't forget that 87.6543% of sim racers will not check this forum and therefore not vote in your pool, so the votes are almost certainly biased for the more hardcore guys with multiple rims.

And yes, the percent value above is scientifically proven to be correct.

 

Agree with the poll not being scientifically accurate nor useful for development decisions, but at the same time having multiple presets even for different car classes would be a reasonable improvement and a welcome change.

I'd argue though whether it should be such important change given how many other actually important changes should be implemented. So I'm yes to have presets added to the backlog, but no for making it in the next few sprints.

 

Fanatec BMW & Formula rims , plus a diy AMG gt3 Merc rim that I'm on the latter stages of building.

 

Well so far we have 66 votes, isn't that about quarter the daily AMS2 average? so really not a bad number of AMS2 users being represented. I think it would be different for say AC with a few thousand daily users but with AMS2 numbers still being low I think we can use these to gauge the target audience.

 

you forgot "none" for joypad and other steering controller users

 

Nah this is just for wheel users as was wondering because of your post saying 99% have just one rim. Got a good representation here I believe.
While it is probably good to know, I don't think pad users would be changing pads when changing cars like wheel users do.
