GT DD PRO binding problem

I have CSL DD selected in control scheme but it refuses to allow me to bind any input to the four coloured analogue inputs on the wheel.
Any way around this?

 

Make sure that the firmware is up to date.
Try setting the wheel up as custom.

 

That is strange. Try a different USB plug. Try a PC restart.
To get the wheel options back pick the brand first.

 

I had to update rim (as well as base and fanalab). Dont give up try removing and replacing rim ,possibly.
you could try from within fanalab starting game. double click ams2
(it wont start in vr mode though.
selected csl dd with seperate pedals here (ingame ams2) then assin all the buttons.

 

I hope you hear back on this soon. My CSL DD worked perfectly for almost two weeks and now I can’t get anything to bind. I did not change anything but now the game no longer recognizes my inputs. Tried new user profile, custom wheel, etc. All of my other games work fine so I am not sure what happened. Best of luck mate.

 

Sad not to hear anything yet as this seems to be happening a bit. I ended up finally getting mine to work by removing my portable hard drive and switching which USB it was plugged into. Took a lot more finagling then I wanted. Hope you find success too

 

I have the same problem with the GT DD Pro wheel.

I use a free program called AntiMicro to assign the 4 dpads to keyboard inputs (1-0 and F1-F10 in my case). I saved the profile and set it to load only when AMS2 is running. You can then assign the dpads in the game (they'll show as the keyboard inputs but who cares, it works).

Takes a bit of fiddling to set up (especially with the auto profile loading) but it's been working great so far.

I still run in compatibility mode and select CSW V2.5 because the wheel display and LEDs don't work otherwise. I don't run Fanalab.

Hopefully Reiza can add proper support for this wheel. AMS2 is the only title that gives me problems.

You can get the program here:
GitHub - AntiMicro/antimicro: Graphical program used to map keyboard buttons and mouse controls to a gamepad. Useful for playing games with no gamepad support

I tried the newer AntiMicroX but i found it didn't work as well so stuck with the original.

Hope this helps.

 

I think this is a Fanatec problem, not an AMS problem.

The coloured hat switches do not work for me either, except in GT7. On PC, they all show up in the Fanatec Control Panel, but outside of that, nothing. Not even Joy2Key sees any input from these switches. If I recall correctly, at one point they did work, but now they do not.

Starting to wish I'd never bought this damn thing. I also don't appreciate being absolutely rinsed by Fanatec's customer support and having to pay another chunk of money for their QR1 to overcome "normal manufacturing tolerances" on their utter garbage QR1 Lite.

I guess they might get enabled in a future driver/firmware update. Until then, good luck if you're using VR, as there are nowhere near enough buttons available on the wheel without the use of these hats.

EDIT: Actually, the coloured hat switches work in both AC & ACC, so maybe this is an AMS problem. Not sure why Jok2Key would not recognise them either though.

 

The hat switches work fine in ACC and are recognised in AntiMicro, so it appears to be an AMS2 problem.

EDIT: Nevermind.... Saw your edit . Try AntiMicro to simulate key presses with the hat switches. I remember trying Joy2Key and had the same problem as you. Must be a newer controller driver or something that fanatec uses that isn't recognised by older input DLLs used by some programs (AMS2 included). I'm far from an expert though.

 

Ok, I found a workaround. Joy2Key does work, but a default option needs to be adjusted. Under "Options", find "Number of buttons to configure", and adjust this value to max (128). The coloured hat switches register in high numbers (around and after 90 or so). Assign your preferred keys in AMS2 and map these also within Joy2Key, or vice-versa.

 

just want to add that I have the same issue, can't assign the colored sticks to anything in AMS2. Can do it in ACC/AC/RF2/RRRE/iracing ...

 

Can confirm; unable to map the coloured hat-switches on the CSL GT DD wheel.

Also, can anyone tell me, do I need to run the base/wheel in comp mode or PC mode?

I love AMS2 when it works, but getting it to work properly is wonky

 

PC mode works fine; the issue with the four hat switches (or whatever they are called) remains though.

This is just guesswork, but I wonder could it be as simple as AMS2 having an arbitrary limit on the number of controller buttons recognised. As someone above mentioned, these 20 buttons on the GT wheel are (for some unfathomable reason) registered as buttons 89 though 108 (even though it does not make use of any number between 23 and 88 as far as I can tell).

Is there any other wheel/controller that uses assignments numbered that high to either to either disprove or support that theory?

 

Thanks for the reply; not sure if that would be a root-cause, but it kinda does make sense from a dev standpoint, either way, I hope Reiza fix this with a next patch; kind of annoying that it used to work but now doesn't anymore

 

Anyone find a solution yet that doesn't require 3rd party software?

No luck for me so far.

 

No. I've also raised a bug report about it over here.

 

sweet, thanks dude

 

Hi, September 2022 and the issue still happening.
Could be the number of USB buttons in the GT DD PRO? AMS cant map rone than X number of USB buttons?
In my case all the Playstation buttons works but not the colored pads; and those maps as button USB 90 and up...

 

Yep, still no change on this afaik. Would be nice to be able to map all the extra stuff to the wheel like weight jacker, ARBs, brake balance, etc - still having to use keyboard for a lot of stuff.

 

I found a solution when installing Project Cars 2 last week It's related to Steam Controller settings. Go into steam to settings, disable all steam controller input. Try again.
if it doesn't work after that, also remove your controller file in \Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\..some numbers...\automobilista 2\profiles
default.controllersettings.v1.03.sav (or make a new controller profile).

Step 2 won't work without step 1 fyi

 

Hi Mattias - I am very interested in your solution, but can't seem to get it to work! I also have a Steam Controller, so this seems a very plausible cause.

When you say "disable all steam controller input" in Steam settings, where exactly do you mean? I can't see an option to do this in the main steam settings 'Controller' tab. Maybe I am missing something?

If I right click on AMS2 in my library and go to properties/controller, I can 'Disable Steam Input' as an override for AMS2, but it still shows "Steam Controller - Enabled, always required" down below, so I'm not sure if that is effective.

I tried that, along with deleting the profile file, but it still does not work for me. Could you provide any extra info? Are you using the Fanatec CSL-DD profile in game? Or Custom? Are you using PC or Compatibility mode on the Fanatec base? I've tried a few different combos but no luck so far.

Thanks for your help!

 

Right click game -> properties -> controller -> Disable Steam Input (OVERRIDE FOR AMS2)
and yes steam controller will say enabled, the other ones will all be disabled

wheel settings:
- pc mode
- User set control preset with FANATEC CSL DD SPEARATE PEDALS selected as model

 

Thanks for clarifying - but this does not work for me for some reason

 

hope you find a solution eventually...

 

Didn't work for me either got my hopes up for a sec though!

 

I would also like to confirm I'm also having issues with my Fanatec GT wheel, none of the 4 colored five way switches are working with AMS2, although they work just fine with every other sim racing game. It's a bummer losing 20 inputs.

 

Yeah, I tried various resetting/rebinding things again recently but still no joy unfortunately.

 

Indeed; same here; still no luck; and i refuse using 3rd party software/tools to get it working again. it was working fine shortly after the release of the wheel, then 1.3 came along and it broke.

 

Any solution to this yet? I'm also not able to map the inputs an my GT DD Pro Wheel.

Very sad as this has already worked before but with newest update there is no chance to map the buttons.

 

Did anyone found a solution yet? The solution i presented no longer works now for me

 

No, unfortunately not
