Setting up your controls
Now, all you need to do is assign your controls in-game. As this is a personal preference, we won’t go too much into detail here, except for how it is done.
- Launch BeamNG.drive.
- Navigate to “Settings” -> “Controls” -> Bindings
Here you will find multiple categories of controls, such as “vehicle specific” to “General”. Simply go through each of them and set them up one by one.
- Click the control you want to set up.
- Use the input you wish to assign (push the pedal/click the button).
Now that you have set up the force feedback, enabled the telemetry, and assigned your controls, you are ready to hit the track. Happy racing!
