Use modern Xbox controls on MTM2 through Steam!

Post by Cale »

The breakthrough of the century, no more fighting with Logitech Profiler! If you have Steam, you can add MTM2 as a game in the Library, then enable "Steam Input" in the Settings menu for the game in Steam. Then, right click the game, choose Manage -> Controller Layout, and select "Controller". Load up the game, choose "Joystick/Wheel" for controls and enable Throttle Control. You should then be able to use a standard, modern Xbox style controller with the game and the triggers as throttle and brake. An actual game changer in my view - makes it way more enjoyable.

This clip from LinusTechTips explains it visually:

Bah gawd! Now this is just as good as a controller profiler, with much input detail too! Guess I'll be done using AntiMicro to map keys to gamepad, this is just 10x better, plus the added joystick and trigger axis makes driving a lot more engaging!
