Can't get my SSH Shifter to work in H-pattern

Got my new SHH shifter as sequential mode works fine. I can also assign the gears of the H-pattern in the H mode in the UI, they get recognize when you leave the gear (I guess that's because the Shifter acts af it it's holds the gear button and the assignment happens on releasing a button).

But in a car the H pattern just doesn't do anything. I went for cars that have the H pattern according to the description but it's just doing nothing. I tried creating a new profile with wheel as custom and assigned the button there but it makes no difference.

I can see that the buttons work in the windows controller settings, but AMS2 does not recognize it in a car. Anyone got an idea how to solve that?

 

Are we talking about the new SHH HUBB model? I only have its predecessor, the SHH Thorn, and it works beautifully in AMS2.

However, I don't know how much is different about the HUBB's functionality. One thing I can think of is the H <-> S mode shifter switch on front of the base - did you set it to the correct mode? That could certainly explain the different shift behavior, and perhaps why the button presses aren't properly registered in game. At least that's the first thing I can think of.

Otherwise I'm not sure what could cause this. Which OS are you on? AFAIK the HUBB doesn't have it's own driver software, so maybe there's some shenanigans with the Windows 11 game controller setup or something? I don't know if there's any differences, I'm still on W10.

 

Yes it's the new HUBB model.

As far as I can see it the switch only changes which buttons are recognized, so Gear 1 to 7 are Button 1-7, Rear is 10 and if you go the S mode the button presses for up and down changes from 3 and 4 to button 11 and 12.

The strange thing is that in windows controller option I can see all gears working fine. Assigning the gears in AMS2 also works.

I can see each gear light up like first gear is selected here:


Going in S mode for sequential shifting works flawlessly. Only the fixed gears show no function ingame.

 

Interesting. Sounds like it definitely should work, then.

Out of interest, which cars have you tried? And what are your gameplay settings with regards to auto-clutch and transmission?

 

I tried a few cars that mentioned h-shifting like Street version Camaro, the Ginetta (was it the G40?) or the Formula Retro.

Tried changing auto clutch on or off with no difference. Transmission is always set to manual

 

This is really quite strange. Some sims used to have a "hold button for gear" option, i.e. GTR2, but AMS2 doesn't (and thus doesn't need it).

Did you modify the minimum shift time setting? Maybe set it to a very high value by accident?

Otherwise you could try to connect the shifter to a different USB port (ideally not to a hub) to see if that makes a difference.

 

Thank you, the shifter itself feels really good, it's an amazing deal for the money.

I tried setting it to custom Wheel, but it doesn't work either.

It get's recognized as Joystick Number 5 and I can assign everything

But again in the car itself (here Ginetto G40) sadly still does nothing, I can see in the windows setting that the gear get's recognized

 

Hm, this is really odd. changing the pedal type didn't work. So I set some options back to Fanatec Wheel, Automatic Clutch On, etc, etc. Still not working.

Then I though I could use Simhubs control mapper to just use the shifter to apply keyboard presses that might work in the game. Turn out the game wouldn't accept my keyboard inputs for the keys 1, 2 ,3, etc to shift gears too (all other keyboard inputs like seating position worked). I changed some settings back and forth and suddenly AMS2 recognized not only my number keys but also the H pattern shifts via the regular ingame input mapping even with the regular Fanatec Wheel Profile.

I can't say for sure which setting did it, but I think the secondary input binding for the direct gears is not working (or not working if no primary input is set)? I will test later if that's really the case.
