DR2.0 G29 + handbrake on keyboard

Recommended Posts

Hello, 

 

Is this somehow possible to use G29 wheel and map handbrake to spacebar on keyboard? I cant do it in game settings. It would be perfect for me because using wheel buttons for handbrake is just a nightmare... Thank you

I use a joystick as handbrake. You should be able to use the keyboard. Does it appear in the list of input devices in the game?

Yes, but wheel is selected as active and when I try to change handbrake key bind to spacebar in wheel settings, nothing happens. Like the keyboard was turned off. I am able only to bind a key from my wheel. Oh and obviously spacebar doesnt work in game.

Have you got the gearstick with your G29? A lot of people use the paddles for gears and use 4th gear as their handbrake.

Try defining handbrake in the keyboard settings in the Input menu. There you should see all the peripherals yuu can use.

No, I do not have it. I am considering buying one. That would be nice, but then I would be unable to use H shifter for gear shifting in some cars that have normal gear operation. That would make buying the H shifter pointless. In this case it would be better to buy $99 handbrake from Fanatec for example.

The handbrake IS defined as spacebar in keyboard settings. The problem is the keyboard controls do not work when you use G29 to drive... And thats the whole point :/

Weird. I have a G920 and the handbrake as the number pad ENTER and they both work at the same time. No need to do anything special apart from setting the keyboard input and then the wheel input. 🤔
