CountersteerLFS

This is a work-in-progress script, that implements GTA or BeamNG-like Steering Correction to LFS by adding a Virtual XInput gamepad, reading a real gamepad input and correcting its output based on slide angles. Also features a rudimentary TC and Brake Help (ABS-like) feature.

How does it work?

1. Reads XInput Gamepad in slot 1
2. Creates Virtual XIput Gamepad in slot 2
3. Reads car information through LFS OutSim
4. Gets input from Gamepad 1 and outputs corrected Steering through Gamepad 2

Requirments:

• VigemBus
• Any Xinput gamepad in Slot 1
• Written and tested on Python 3.9, requires XInput and vgamepad libraries

How to set up:

• Either set LFS_cfg_location in default.cfg and to your LFS cfg.txt loctation or manually set the LFS cfg.txt Outsim section to the following:

OutSim Mode 2
OutSim Delay 5
OutSim IP 127.0.0.1
OutSim Port 30000
OutSim ID 0
OutSim Opts 80

• Make sure you have VigemBus installed and a gamepad in slot 1
• Launch CountersteerLFS before LFS
• In controls, bind Steering, Gas, Brakes and Handbrake to XInput Gamepad 2
• Currently, Gas and Brakes are hardcoded to the Triggers, and Steering to the left Joystick

Planned Features:

• Error Handling
• Better LFS cfg patching
• Standalone EXE release
• Better profile handling
• More configurable options
