Overview

This guide shows how to eliminate the default deadzone settings for the steering wheel (commonly the x-axis). Other games also benefit from this guide, e.g. Fernbus Simulator and The Bus. This problem bugged me for a long time, although I’ve never cared much about trying to dig into the issue, as I just play the game occasionally.

Since I could find no way to remove such deadzone using the game’s Settings UI, I decided to grasp some of the internal files. Fortunately, I now experience. The guide was tested with my own steering wheel (here), which has only 180 degrees and was severely impacted by the game’s default 25% deadzone. Hopefully, it may also be of use to those with more sophisticated devices, e.g. G27, G29, and the like.

How to

1. Search and create a backup for the file DefaultInput.ini, then open the original file using a text editor. The file is located in the folder:

   Tourist Bus Simulator\TouristBusSimulator\Config

2. Search for the

   [/script/engine.inputsettings]

3. tag and look for all gamepad axes entries that contain a non-null value for the deadzone parameter. For example:

   -AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName="Gamepad_LeftX",AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.25,Exponent=1.f,Sensitivity=1.f))

4. Edit the deadzone parameter to

   0.f

   or any other value that you find appropriate for your device.

5. Repeat step 3 for every line that has a non-null value for the deadzone parameter.
6. Save the changes and open Tourist Bus Simulator. Evaluate whether these edits improve your gaming experience or not..
