This way you can also control the cab controls in the vehicles. If you click the left stick (keyboard CTRL) ingame, you’ll activate the known UI interaction mode. Go to the options / controls, and use the new input profile “Radial menu” to adjust the controls. Instead of simply offering a few fixed choices for the controller support, we designed the system as flexible as possible, so you can assign the controls as you use the UI to a joystick, steering wheel or any DirectInput device. By pressing the left controller stick you get a mouse pointer emulation, where the controller the keys (A, X and Y) are equivalent to the (left, right and middle) keys of the mouse. With our new control concept, we wanted to avoid long iterations through list menus. The game can now be started and played using the Steam Big Picture mode. The previous UserAction menu on the right side has been switched off by default with this update, but can be reactivated via the options if required. We wanted to make sure the user has full and fast access to the numerous vehicle functions and that you don’t have to remember too many key combinations. The radial menu is a new control concept which was actually developed for the controller support, but is also easy to use with keyboard and mouse.
With today’s v0.5.0 update we have made extensive changes to the gamepad controls, introduced a new radial menu system, upgraded to PhysX 4.0 and fixed several bugs.
