Steering-Wheel w Pedals and BF2 - how?

[BigCheese]

Hi,

is anyone able to play with a Joystick AND a Wheel with Pedals - so i want to fly jets with the joystick and perhaps adjust the left right rudder with the gas/break from the wheel - or i want to drive the DPV with the wheel and the pedals (gas/break) - or the tank...
but when i go to options and try to adjust the control it just doesn't recognize any input from my wheel axis
is there some workaround which have to be make?

thanks,
BigCheese

man that sounds like such a kick ass idea ust a shame i dont have wheel and pedals but i do know of a way that might work.

goto: My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\

in here you should find folders named somthing like 0001, go into the first folder and open up the Profile.con file with notepad or wordpad. the first line will have the username of the profile you are using in my case this looks like this:
LocalProfile.setName "Andy_1984"

ok so now we found the correct user profile we want to edit open Controls.con in here you will find all the controls listed for the selected profile make backups of these files please before you edit them.

the very first line of controls.con will be

ControlMap.create InfantryPlayerInputControlMap

this tells us that the lines of text bellow are related to infantry controls(walking around and stuff)

if you scroll away down the list you will see a blank line followed by:
ControlMap.create LandPlayerInputControlMap

everything below this line is related to land vehicles (jeeps tanks) this is what you want to edit

aceleration:
ControlMap.addKeysToAxisMapping c_PIThrottle IDFKeyboard IDKey_W IDKey_S 0


to map airplane throttle to your pedal you would look for the key used under:
ControlMap.create AirPlayerInputControlMap

here you want to edit what i have marked in red i have no idea what your input would look like from stepping on the pedal would be so you have to figure this out yourself or maybe someone can pick up from where i have left off

Why would you wanna play with a steering wheel and pedals, there real un-responsive in my opinion.

because he wants to ?

Use a binding program, most joysticks/steering wheels/pedals should come with some software on a disc, I'm guessing the binding software is on there.

Unlike BF1942, Bf2 does support multiple game devices.

I'm using my MOMO pedals for YAW when flying.

I didn't have to pissfart around in the controls.con file so I dunno why u should have to.

Firstly make sure Windows recognizes ur j/s & ur wheel in contol panel > game controllers, then make sure you delete ur old YAW settings in ur BF2 contols coz if u have ur old ones (from ur j/s) and then put the pedals as ur alternative choice in the second column then it won't work.

I've tried it too.. cant seem to make it work

I have a TSW2 which I use for online racing, tried to set it up to drive jeeps etc with and pedals as my yaw.. but the game said for me to F off.. lmao

Maybe BF2 doesn't like some harware?....

Try this (I dunno if it works or not).. Go into ur controls.con file and find the yaw settings under ur aircraft (quite easy to find).
After the IDFGAMEController_ bit, you'll probably see a 0.... change that to a 1
This identifies a second game controller to the game.
It should then look something like this which is out of my control.con file..

ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIYaw IDFGameController_1 IDAxis_1 1 0

Save ur changes and don't forget to change the file back to a .con file when ur done.
Now try flying an aircraft and see if it works, if it does then do the same for ur heli controls.

If it doesn't then think it thru coz by doing this sort of thing with the control.con file is definately the way to get it going... u just may have to change one or two variables to suit ur set up.
