What is Your DS3 Button Map?

[Nismo GTi]

I'm surprised at how different everyone's button maps are. This is my core set-up:

Left Analog steering
Right Analog accelerate/brake
L2 & R2 gear shifting
Δ reverse
O handbrake
L1 look behind

The rest are set up for RA functions and some useless functions that I should really get rid of. Most annoying is the horn for L3 and wipers for R3, which results in me clamping down on the horn during really tight corners and putting the wipers on when braking hard.

I have exactly the same set up & annoyances as Windle.

It does, only reacts according how much pressure you do to the stick. Just wonder if the driver moves his head

Brilliant, thanks. Though I think I'll have to move my gear change set up, will get a bit strange when I'm trying to look around and dropping gears.

I don't think L1 and R1 will work if L2 and R2 are my Brake/Accelerator. That'll get messy too...

Pretty much the same

X Accelerator
[] Brake
O Handbrake(E-brake)
Δ Reverse
R1 + gears
L1 - gears
L stick, steering
R stick unused
L2 Look Behind
L3 Horn

Additional i have flash lights on the digipad


Funny is, everybody who asks me and i answer i play with x and [] wont believe me first
I tried the right stick for acc and i tried R2/L2. But it doesnt work for me.

Try using square for downshift and triangle for upshift, its much more simple than using RS to shift.

Also, can anyone tell me how to make shapes like triangles or squares without having to spell them out?

My button map? The stock one, and I'm surprisingly good with throttle control with the X button.

How do you change gear?

I could tell you how to make an x....

Default, with the exception of left and right steering input on the D-pad changed to left look and right look. I think I may have used the D-pad for steering a grand total of 3 minutes in all of my GT5 gameplay, and that was ages ago.

Thats interesting, so you use both your middle fingers and pointer fingers, but not your right thumb (well not for common racing actions anyway)

The way I figured it was the less fingers I use, the more accurate I can be with the ones I do use. It also took me a while to learn how to relax my right thumb against the pad, not have it stick out till it got numb.
