Controller steering speed coupling

[Gabb]

Hey!! I've decided to try out my Nintendo Switch pro remote with RoR, it works great but there's one major issue that makes it a huge pain to drive properly and that's the fact that the controller has no steering speed coupling, I know it shouldn't need any because I can control the steering amount with precision but for some reason I find it's way too sensitive, even with the sensitivity set to 0.01, the second I move the joystick a nanometer, the steering wheel turns by like 25%. I'd like some help finding a way to fix this, thanks!

Try increasing the deadzone in your controller's input map. In your case it's named Controller__XBOX_360_For_Windows_.map
Browse to Documents\My Games\Rigs of Rods\config and open that file with Notepad. Scroll to the bottom and you'll see this:

TRUCK_STEER_LEFT               JoystickAxis         0 1 LOWER+DEADZONE=0.25
TRUCK_STEER_RIGHT              JoystickAxis         0 1 UPPER+DEADZONE=0.25

Increase the 0.25 value.

I've tried increasing it and decreasing it and now I can control the steering more precisely but it's still incredibly easy to spin out unless I'm extremely careful with the joystick. This would help if I was just sim driving and obeying traffic laws but in stressful racing situations it doesn't seem to really help, is there maybe some way that I could just make the analog input smoothing increase the faster I go and decrease the slower I go?

Unfortunately no, speed coupling currently only applies to keyboards.

Oh! Alright, I guess I can just try out my steering wheel instead, thanks!
