PS4/DS4 Controller axis Trigger/Brake Mapping (MAC)

[Guggen]

The time has finally come! I have been trying to figure out how to turn my triggers into axis for litterally years now, and mostly thanks to this older post: http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26586, I was able to figure out how to do this and of course will work on a MAC.

All that is needed is to locate your config file open it up with Text Edit and replace these lines (Depending on how you installed MXS on your MAC, your config location will differ.)

Code: Select all

throttle_key=(k)Joystick0 button X
front_brake_key=(k)Joystick0 button X

with this (Axis 5 on my computer is R2 and Axis 4 is L2.)

Code: Select all

throttle_key=(-1.000000,1.000000)Joystick0 axis 5
front_brake_key=(-1.000000,1.000000)Joystick0 axis 4

Note: This only worked for DS4 controller and not DS3. I tested DS3 but had no luck.

Let me know if this works for any of you MAC users. My setup is currently using Wineskin and my controller is connected via bluetooth.
