Logitech Heavy Equipment Bundle FS19

[OxfordAndy]

Hello all
Have recently got the heavy equipment bundle for FS19 and am asking is there a way to configure the control panel to do what function you want each button to do?

Many thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum!

If you are playing on Windows of macOS then you can reconfigure the bindings between game functions to the buttons and axis of the controller either via the Options section of the main menu, or via the menu that you can open by pressing the 'ESC' key while playing.

In both menus there os a button at the top with some 'squares', if you select that you get to the screen where you can configure the bindings. At the botom of that screen there should be an option to switch between the binding configuration for the keyboard and the other controllers attached to the game (unfortunately that button is labeled 'Gamepad', even though it is also to configure wheels, joystick or the control panel).

Hello Thankyou for your reply, can now see where I was going wrong!

Hope you enjoy your new setup. I loved my heavy equipment bundle. But, be gentle with the joystick on that panel... mine has seem to gone a little wonky. The slightest move on it will send my front loader arm either all the way up or all the way down. I had to sit it aside until I have the time to check it out and see what is hanging it up.

Ok will bear that in mind, currently working my way through each function that I will use the most to set it up

Many thanks

Hope you enjoy it. I got it, set it up, played with it for a few hours and went back to keyboard/mouse...

I to have just got a New set up from Logitech. I find that the Set up in FS19 is APITA. So far have used 4 hours trying to get things how I want them. Looking in the XML file dont help much as it is totally impossible to figure out. In FS17 it was very easy to figure out and in fact much quicker to configure the controller in!
So got things sorted, almost and changed over to a different tractor. Yeah nothing worked as it did before.
Have used the set up in FS17 and it works OK. Eurotruck II works fine. FS19! I am going mad trying to get it to do what I want it to do.
Does anyone have any good tips as to get things sorted.
PS I have pretty bad carpel tunnel at times and after ten minuets on a key board my fingers are normally pretty dead. So not a good option to Just use the keyboard.

Quick question: which file(s) would one need to copy out to backup the wheel/joystick settings? It would be a shame to lose the settings after having spent a few hours tweaking them in case of a reinstall.

Excellent! Thanks.

Its honestly not difficult to set up the equipment bundle at all. FS19 has default inputs for them already. If you don't like those go into a savegame and go to menu controls and rebind whatever controls you'd like. Never once had to go into the xml file to edit anything as everything can be edited via the in game menu

That's all well and good but that is not the question that was asked

I just installed this but am a bit confused when it comes to mapping the buttons. When I look in FS19 I know where to go to map them, I just don't understand all the abbreviations for the buttons on the wheel and side panel. They look like they reference gamepad controls but as I have never used a gamepad I'm stumped. I also find the deadzone on the wheel to be extreme at 14% but not sure as to which axis of the 14 listed is the wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased the Logitech/Saitek Heavy Equipment Gamepad Bundle. I finally found a PDF by Saitek which provides information on how the controls are mapped. When I plugged in the gamepads to 2 USB ports on my PC and started FS19, FS19 found the gamepads and automatically began working correctly. This PDF file makes it easy to understand what the controls are assigned to do on the Steering Wheel/Pedals and the Control Deck. Here is the URL and directions on how to locate and download the PDF file:

URL:https://www.saitek.com/manuals/Farm-Sim ... Sheets.pdf

When this URL is located, in the middle of the page choose the following:
1- Choose "FARM SIM"
2 - Choose "DEFAULT CONTROL ASSIGNMENTS"
3 - Choose "VIEW MANUAL"

Now the PDF file should appear, which can be downloaded and printed. Two of the pages show the default control settings. The other two pages allow you to write your own control settings should you choose to change them.

I am new to this forum. If it is possible to post the PDF file to the forum, please let me know how to do that.
