Keyboard operated forest equipment

Post by MartinL »

Hello

Is there anybody that knows if it is any foresty mods that can be operated with the keyboard, instead of mouse/joystick.
Like the cranes and etc in the older version

Can you not just set up the key bindings in the options>controls menu?
Find which axes are operated by mouse controls and map them to your preferred keys? You'd just have to be careful about reusing existing keys as there isn't a lot of free space left!
I don't expect there to be many, if any, machines set up for keyboard controls as the majority of gamers seem to want to use joysticks for forestry. I find an Xbox controller works fine for me.

Just use J to lift loader, N to lower loader. K to move the bucket or forks up, M to move the forks down. I think shift = any of those keys will move some thing. I always do this with forestry.

Have to date only used keyboard commands in farm or forest equipment. As suggested review the current keyboard bindings and I think you will see all possible articulation covered. Multiple arm movements, grappler rotation and open and closing. If you're not seeing a specific control option, please post again and we will see if we can help.
