Read This If you want to use Steering Wheel shifting paddles as Gear up/Down

[madbrother]

I wrote that here, because I don't know where I would otherwise. If you want @drafty46 you can add it in the readme or else where.

Here's my full journey to making this mod work with the shifting paddles of my Logitech G923 Xbox Layout.

At first, to make it work, I bound each paddle to a keyboard key using Logiteck G Hub. Then within the mod's configuration in-game, I bound the gear up and gear down to theses keyboard keys. It was working but each time I would change gear, SnowRunner would detect a input device change (switching from wheel to keyboard then to wheel) which caused the force kickback of the wheel to kick at every gear change and I became worried of wearing of my wheel.

I first tried to use SnowRunner's custom mapping of the steering wheel but then I was loosing the ability to move my camera by holding the D-Pad left or right on the wheel.

So I tried remapping the paddles using reWASD, AutoHotkey and other similar app with no luck, these apps don't support steering wheel remapping.

I then tried with Copilot AI to write my own C# Feeder in combination of vJoy, but it never worked.

As I was about to give up searching the internet/reddit, I noticed people talking about using the mouse at the same time as the wheel and indeed the force feedback was not kicking while for example moving the camera and turning the wheel.

The solution is to map the paddles of the wheel to some mouse buttons. Then bound those mouse buttons to the gear up/ gear down mappings. This way, the force feedback is not kicking on gear change since the mouse is "included" for SnowRunner in the streering wheel input device.

For example, what I did is I bounded my left and right paddles to the Next and Previous buttons of the mouse. This way the left paddle no longer is the Clutch in SnowRunner (you can use the left pedal instead) and the right paddle no longer is the handbrake. After that, in the mod's configuration, I bound gear up and gear down to the Next and Previous buttons of the mouse.

To replace my handbrake (since I removed the default behavior of the right paddle of the wheel), I bound the scroll wheel click to another button on the steering wheel and within SnowRunner keyboard mapping, bound the handbrake to that scroll wheel click.

I thought I'd write this here to prevent similar user to search and struggle.

Again @drafty46, if this "not really an issue" is not welcome here, You can do whatever you want with it.
