RacePad button mapping guide

-) RacePad allows input from a button on the controller or keyboard to cycle through the different views. This is very convenient while racing to avoid having to tap or swipe the iPad or iPhone.

-) Two different buttons can be assigned to cycle through the views: one to move to the next view and one to move to the previous view. rFactor and rFactor 2 can be configured separately.

-) The idea is that you select an in-game control in RacePad (e.g. "Quick Chat #06") and then assign a button to this control setting. Whenever you press this button, RacePad switches to the next/previous view.

-) Go to the RacePad settings by tapping the settings button in the main menu. By default no controls are assigned.

-) Tap on the button to configure and select the control you wish to use.

-) In the game, assign a keyboard or controller button to the control you selected in RacePad.

-) That's it! When you are in a session and press this button, RacePad switches views!

Note:

Ensure you have enabled hardware support in-game.
We have only made a subset of all possible controls available. Some controls, like Throttle and Brake don't make sense to assign.
Where possible, when you press the button, the actual in-game function of the button is disabled. This works well for some, but not all buttons. E.g. if you use the Horn as button, this will still sound the horn if the mod supports it.
Using the "Quick Chat" buttons works well, but ensure to set empty chat in the PLR file to avoid actually sending the chats.
The "Custom Plugin" buttons in rFactor2 appear useful, but (at the time of writing) the assignments aren't stored when exiting the game! You have to reassign them every time you launch the game.
