This guide shows how to eliminate the default deadzone settings for the steering wheel (commonly the x-axis). Other games also benefit from this guide, e.g. Tourist Bus Simulator and The Bus.
Overview
Since I could find no way to remove such deadzone using the game’s Settings UI, I decided to grasp some of the internal files. Now I can use the full range of my steering wheel.
The guide was tested with my own steering wheel (here[numskull.com]), which has only 180 degrees and was severely impacted by the game’s default 25% deadzone. Hopefully it may also be of use to those with more sophisticated devices, e.g. G27, G29, and the like.
How-to
2) Search for the
[/script/engine.inputsettings]
tag and look for all gamepad axes entries that contain a non-null value for the deadzone parameter. For example:
-AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName="Gamepad_LeftX",AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.25,Exponent=1.f,Sensitivity=1.f))
3) Edit the deadzone parameter to
0.f
or any other value that you find appropriate for your device.
4) Repeat step 3 for every line that has a non-null value for the deadzone parameter.
5) Save the changes and open Tourist Bus Simulator. Evaluate whether these edits improve your gaming experience or not.
