Re: [PC] Fanatec CSR Issues
@Straatford87 No I don't have issues with binding buttons* my issue is with not having the ability to bind buttons to certain functionalities. Take an Xbox controller as an example. Left Bumper and Right Bumper (LB and RB) have default functions. However, if you go to customize your controller's button layout you will notice there are no functions listed that are paired with the RB and LB buttons. Say, for example, my controller had broken LB and RB buttons, because the functionality associated with them cannot be remapped to other buttons I wouldn't be able to use that specific functionality.
In essence, this is what is happening on my wheel. The functionality (on a keyboard the functions would be on the Page Up and Page Down keys) is default mapped to buttons on my wheel that don't exist. Since I cannot map new buttons to that functionality, I am unable to use that functionality.
Basically there are four functions (by default on a keyboard they are mapped to Enter, Esc, PGUp, and PGDown) which cannot be remapped in ANY of the menus. All of the functions (respectively) are Menu forward/select, Menu back, Enter Garage/enter race/confirm challenge, and answer phone. I have not entered the wrap editor with my wheel, so some functionalities there may also be mapped to buttons that don't exist and may also be un-mappable.
From a game design standpoint, solutions to this would be either 1) allow the functions to be mapped or 2) tie the remapping of those functions to the keys/buttons of other functions (say nitro and handbrake or something like that). The only reason im the only one talking about this issue is probably b/c im the only one (or one of few) who is experiencing it since keyboards and controllers all have those functions mapped to buttons that exist so they don't need to be remapped.
***in the first paragraph, i technically have two buttons on my wheel (the two lower orange/red buttons on the face of the wheel --see pic below) that don't seem to do anything. Clicking them to remap functions too doesn't actually do anything. This is also a similar issue to my Sequential shifter. Granted, neither of those is necessary for gameplay so it doesn't necessarily need fixing. https://www.fanatec.com/image/cache/data/wheels/csr/CSR-1000x666.png
On the subject of wheel support:
Fanatec made an 'Elite' version of the CSR which had a similar wheel face, but shared a base with the clubsport instead of sharing the same base as the normal CSR. This can be seen in the photographs above. This leads me to believe that the CSR Elite IS default supported (since it probably works the same as the clubsport) while the CSR (which has Fanatec's older wheel base they used on some of their old Porsche wheels) is not supported. Not that this is justification for not having CSR support when it is clearly listed, but if my hypothesis proves to be true then it would make the mistake understandable. I can't really test my theory since I don't have nor know anyone who has an Elite...
