    Bought a new wheel (Ascher Racing Artura Pro-SC) and not all buttons are recognized. More precisely the upper paddles behind and the two 12-pos rotaries in front of the wheel. Other buttons and thumb encoders work fine.

    Also in other sims I've tried ALL the buttons work but AMS2 doesn't let me map them. There's others who have the same problem.
    Is there a limit for inputs/buttons in AMS2? Is there a fix possible?

    I've tried custom wheel in AMS2 as well but no dice. The wheelbase I'm using is a SC2 Pro.

    How many buttons are there?
    I'm experiencing the same when using the TM F1 add-on wheel in advanced mode, but everything works in normal mode (less buttons).
    So it might indeed be something with AMS not being able to handle 1 device exceeding a certain amount of inputs.

    Can't find the exact amount of inputs but over 100 is advertised.

    Kinda bummed that other sims can detect them fine, even older ones like AC, iRacing, rFactor2 and Raceroom. Those I have tried so far and no issues.

    Jup same here,
    I do know of a flightsim I also use that couldn't handle over 32 inputs and had to update some major architectural stuff before they were able to fix that. But my F1 wheel in advanced mode is still less than 32 inputs if I counted right.
    If I count yours, I'm at 34 so could be these 2 aren't recognized due to that.

    Edit: Sorry I can see that we are op to much more buttons/levers than mine :whistle:

    Hey Guys,

    could you find the issue and what is going on?

    I am using the Fanatec Formula v2.5X and AMS2 does not accept input from the right toggle switch (button 31 and 33 to be precise). It says "invalid input". The left toggle switch is detected properly (32 and 34). Also rotary switches are detectes, but I can only assign up-rotation and down-rotation e.g. for ABS up and down or TC up and down.

    I am on Version 1.5.3 and I love AMS2 now. But it is annoying that not all buttons are accepted.

    No solution. I get no notification, AMS2 just doesn't recognize the input at all.

    I agree it's a bit irritating that all the inputs wont work. Really liking the game at this point but this veers me to other racing sims that has functioning inputs.

    Same for me. I really like AMS2 but not being able to use the entire real estate of my F1 wheel is a real bummer.

    I hope they can fix it soon with a intermediate update.

    I have the latest fanatec driver 455 and the latest fanalab software 1_20 or so.
    Also I tried the dead zone trick avoiding any flicker overlay inputs.

    Last I tried to switch my wheel base to compatability mode instead of PC mode.
    --> This gave me the chance to use the right toggel switch too!
    But ony as POV1:up, that is the same button already on an the funky switch.

    @REIZA can you hear us? Please help us!
    The button issue is only worse on xbox where I came from. I dont think you want to be on this level. Here on PC this schould not be a problem.

    Now that you REIZA have the physics better done, players come to see and check. But these things make us headache.

    Exactly same issue with the Artura Pro SC. I also didn't get the red/blue thumb encoders detected but fixed it by putting them in rotary mode instead of switch. Also dual clutch paddles could'nt be assigned because i had this message: "Multiple inputs were detected. No action was assigned". Fixed it by temporarily disabling the slave paddle in TD. After this i was able to set the bite point of the clutch. Still remaining the upper paddles (that are digital, not analog inputs) not detected, pretty boring. IIRC also the rotary function of the two 7 ways funky switches is not detected.

    Hello! Im not sure, but i think AMS2 only recognises button numbers up to 64. Maybe you need a 3rd party solution like JoyToKey or Control Mapper Plugin for Simhub for it to work..?

    Yeah, not really interested in a 3rd party solution. I know of vjoy but thought it increases latency?

    Edit: might try it again. I used it way back with irffb but the whole thing together was so buggy I lost interest.

    I haven’t noticed anything, but I’m not using it for my wheel

    No. Apparently AMS2 don't support all the features and/or has a limit for button inputs

    Hi,

    Just for info, Asetek suggests to use a "Legacy Mode" on its Racehub software when playing AMS2. My guess is that Madness engine is too old to manage a lot of inputs. I have to say that even with this option turned on, AMS2 doesn't deal very well with my forte wheel buttons

    I hope Reiza will adress this issue someday cause modern cars like lmdh really need a lot of in board adjustments

    Has AMS2 a limit of 100 inputs to assign? The DRS paddles on my Artura Pro are listed as 102 and 103 so i suspect this is the culprit

    I think it's more based on a max per device (I know another older sim that has a max of 32/device).

    Probably another Madness engine thing
