Stream Deck For Sim Racing - The Best Button Box You Can Buy

[@christophertcraig]

My last PC died unexpectedly and had to rebuild StreamDeck profiles, found this video again and had to say Thank you for the second time, great video!!!

[@andrewjones7353]

Great video. Very helpful, right balance of detail. Looking forward to checking out more videos. Thank you very much!

[@andrewjones7353]

Thanks

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I just built a total custom button box with ignition , toggles you name it. Love it. But I had a stream deck laying around my kids don’t use anymore. Hands down wish I never made the button box and had instead just bought a second XL stream deck. It’s just so much better and so much more versatile

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

yes they are especially for like adjusting mirrors in assetto corsa etc

[@pumassg]

Thanks for the video on this! I picked up a stream deck to use as a button box and I thought it would be that easy to set up. The hot key switch feature is going to be a lifesaver in endurance races!

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

They are awesome mate

Youve sold me on this as my 1st button box. Thanks a lot!

How are you mapping buttons to the stream deck on AC? It doesn’t seem to want to work with keyboard keys as a hotkey binding I’m totally lost. Thank you for the help!!

[@rologti]

Thanks buddy! is there a way to program a series of actions with one button? For example, Open Flypt sw, load a specific profile, connect it, and start it (for motion platforms), or maybe some sort of recorder of actions that can be done while you are racing?

[@williambaker6630]

Hello just got me the new XL. And trying to learn it now. Can you send me buttondeck icon pack? Any thing else you might have for this stream desk for IRacing. Thanks!

[@MrJDMmills]

With the stream deck I'm guessing I can have multiple screens for each game as I play a lot of farm sim, euro truck sim and dirt rally,and I could have a page for each set of controls?

[@YUR09201]

What are your bindings for content manager I can seem to map the rest and go to pits

[@jordanszoko6767]

Great overview of the features, I’m interested in getting one even more now. Could you please confirm if it’s possible to launch for example Assetto via sim hub to get bass shaker effects? Then in game is there a way to navigate the UI to enter and exit.. trying to eliminate the need for a mouse when playing Assetto and other racing games. Thanks.

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

You can launch assetto corsa from the stream deck, or simub for example.the settings for the bass shakers, do you mean the gain?

To exit a game I use alt +f4 mapped as a key labelled "exit game"

How do you set up (for ex. ACC) so it opens the ACC profile in Stream deck, and automatically runs Steam and the game ACC, and others (ie. Realheadmotion, Simhub), with single press to that profile? Is it possible?

[@PTRRanger951]

May have missed it. But is there a way to make the switch latching. Meaning it stays on after it’s pressed. I want to use it as a gear shift selector. But the game (ATS) needs it to be latching and not momentary. Assigning it to a regular key, you can press it, but once you release it, the vehicle goes back into neutral. It needs it to latch so when you press D, it stays until N or R is pressed.

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

I'm afraid not, they are momentary switches. But you may be able to use a "hot key switch" and map the same keyboard letter twice

I am having the most damn trouble mapping my brake bias to my stream deck. Keep in mind I’m racing on iRacing. Can anybody help me figure this shit out? I’ve gone into the controls for Iracing and mapped brake bias set to 4 and 5 on num key and also mapped it in stream deck. But still, I can’t adjust while in my car (Porsche). I know how to change it within the black box but I don’t really wanna jump through hoops in the middle of a race, all I want is a button.
