Scania Truck Driving Simulator Brake and Accelerator switched in controller pedal

I got the Ferrari 458 Italia Racing Wheel for XBox360 and PC and hooked it up to my PC to play Scania Truck Driving Simulator

This may work for any steering wheel controller for this game

However, after starting the game, I found that the accelerator and brake are swapped. ie; Press the brake in the pedals and the truck go forward. Press the accelerator in the pedals and the truck will break and stop.. and press it further, it will go reverse!

To make it work, I had to make the following changes.


  1. Run the game and create a profile
  2. Start any game (example freeform driving) and then press escape to find options
  3. Make sure Keyboard + controller is selected and in the controller selection, click and press your Brake and Accelerator to register under Acceleration Axis and Brake Axis. The both should register as Joystick Z axis.  Also you can notice that see that they work opposite
  4. Now quit the game 
  5. In windows go to the following location :- C:\Users\\Documents\SCANIA Truck Driving Simulator\profile\44696E. Note that 44696E may not be the profile you see.. if you have only one profile in the game, there is only one folder here. 
  6. Inside this folder you can see file controls.sii
  7. This is a text file, so open this file in your favorite text editor, example notepad
  8. Locate the following lines in the file
    • config_lines[124]: "mix aforward `normalize(sel(c_jcombined, -j_throttle?0, (-j_throttle?1 * -0.5 + 0.5)), c_throt_dz)`"
    • config_lines[125]: "mix abackward `normalize(sel(c_jcombined, j_brake?0, (j_brake?1 * -0.5 + 0.5)), c_brake_dz)`"
  9. Change -j_throttle to j_throttle and j_brake to -j_brake
    • config_lines[124]: "mix aforward `normalize(sel(c_jcombined, j_throttle?0, (j_throttle?1 * -0.5 + 0.5)), c_throt_dz)`"
    • config_lines[125]: "mix abackward `normalize(sel(c_jcombined, -j_brake?0, (j_brake?1 * -0.5 + 0.5)), c_brake_dz)`"
  10. Save the file
  11. Run the game again, and now the throttle and brake should be working as it should be!
