Page last update 15-11-2014<\/p>\n

Here are my settings for ETS2 and the Logitech Driving Force GT<\/a> (do not buy this new! second hand you can find them for a good price).<\/p>\n

Look at my settings and whatever you like you can make them the same in the Profiler and in the Game, or, if you like them all, you can download my settings files.
\nLook at the bottom of this page for the download links.<\/p>\n

First the Gas and Brake pedals modification:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

BY default I find the resistance in the pedals very very weak and unusable. It’s hard to not drive full throttle by pushing the pedal only half way down, because there is no resistance.
\nSame with the brake and also it doesn’t feel like a real brake.
\nWhat I did was 2 things (but try whatever you want):
\nPut a squashball<\/a> under the brake pedal. Just push it in the hole and push it under the brake pedal.
\nThen I also attached a 24inch (60cm) bungee cord<\/a> around both pedals.
\nSee here two pictures:

Then my Logitech Profiler profile.<\/strong><\/span>
\nTo match the steering wheel in the game with the Logitech wheel, set the degrees at 781.<\/p>\n

Then the ingame settings. Of course you should just find out what you prefer for yourself. But maybe you find my settings helpful :).<\/p>\n

Keyboard settings:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"DFGT_1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on the image to see it larger.<\/p>\n

So 1<\/strong> are the two L3 and R3 buttons and they are the Left and Right turn indicators.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> is the top button above the buttons of number 5, and with that button I put the Chasing camera (keyboard 2)<\/p>\n

3<\/strong> is the right back flipper button of the wheel and I set it as Interior camera (1).<\/p>\n

4<\/strong> is the shifter, but as I have automatic shifting I use this + and – buttons as alternative Throttle and Brake. Because sometimes I’m a bit tired of pressing the actual gas or brake pedal, or when I want to do it more quickly when parking for instance. I must say I hardly use this.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong> are the four “playstation”like\u00a0 buttons and I set them as following (to quickly look around during driving):
\nJoy Triangle = Interior Look Up Right
\nJoy Cross = Interior Look Up Left
\nJoy Circle = Interior Look Right
\nJoy Square = Interior Look Left<\/p>\n

6<\/strong>: Joy Start button I hardly use but it’s for setting the Cruise Control
\nThe Joy Select button is for Dashboard Display Mode<\/p>\n

7<\/strong> is the top button above the 4way selecting buttons (number 8) and is for the Wipers.and are set as following:<\/p>\n

8<\/strong> Button Up is the Hazard Warning signals
\nButton Down is the light modes
\nButton Left is the Air Horn
\nButton Right is the High Beam Headlights<\/p>\n

\"Keyboard_01\"<\/a> \"Keyboard_02\"<\/a> \"Keyboard_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Keyboard_04\" <\/a>\"Keyboard_05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Controls settings:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThen the Force Feedback settings:
\nI find it annoying that the wheels shake (and makes noise) all the time because of the truck engine, so that’s why the Force Feedback setting for Engine is Lowest.
\nI increased the stiffness and gain because I want to feel that the truck wheels are turning on the street.
\nExperiment for yourself what settings you prefer, but if you want to try mine, then set them as in these printscreens:
\n\"Controls_01\"<\/a> \"Controls_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am still finetuning these settings because I didn’t find the best settings yet!<\/p>\n

Further down you can find the download links to easily apply my settings.<\/p>\n

Gameplay settings:<\/strong><\/span>
\nYou should really figure out what settings you prefer for yourself, but I changed some minor things.
\n\"Gameplay_01\"<\/a> \"Gameplay_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n
