Hi Barrydingle, really cool implementation of controls. I have a few inputs if its ok though:
-Force feedback is too strong. dialed it down to level 4
-Force feedback from power hotkeys is a bit weird. Its better if its like a jolt of vibration, rather than a sustained one. I dont know if Pinnacle supports that though.
-I removed force feedback on right bumper (use/sprint/etc) because its really weird to have force feedback from there.
-Is there a way to also put the use key on button a? although that would be 3 buttons now: use, and 2 hotkeys.

Anyway, really great job. I love th sensitivity settings of the analog sticks. ZThanks Barrydingle, keep it up.

Thanks Aarroyo, I'm glad it's been working well for you.
You are totally right about the force feedback issues though. It was my first time ever messing with it and some of it didn't work out too great at first. I'm not sure when you last downloaded my profile but I did update it a few days ago and it has felt pretty good for me.

As for using A as use, that is really easy to do. You simply click on game profiles>edit configurations>A button>Standard Commands>Movement>Use/cover/sprint.

I've labeled all the commands so that it is easy to change the layout, and all the commands match the default ME2 keyboard bindings except moving is mapped to arrow keys instead of AWSD.

I originally tried using A as use because I wanted to match the 360 controls as much as possible, but it made conversations slower/more cumbersome, made button layout awkward/confusing, and it took away camera control during the heat of battle. If it works better for you though, give it a try.

You might need to download and install the PGP 5.0 beta here:

Other than that, I'm not sure.

Pinnacle Rob, any ideas?

[barrydingle]

I'm pretty sure that to use this file, you have to actually download the PGP 5.0 beta and install it. If you simply update pinnacle you will still be at version 4.9 which does not support many of the features of this profile.

I'm pretty annoyed with bioware for making us jump through all these hoops, but I actually prefer this button layout to the actual 360 layout now because I can do things in combat, on the fly, that 360 users can't. And the ability to customize the quick slots before each fight makes every battle unique and quite bad ass.

If you guys are using PGP 5.0 and the profile is not working, please let me know and I'll see if the Pinnacle Administrators can fix this.

Barry thanks very much for the quick reply.

That was the problem - All working now

I find it unbelievable that games companies are still not adding native controller support to games. Just comes accross as being lazy 2 me!

[barrydingle]

Just a heads up. I've been tweaking the rumble settings and the right thumbstick (mouse) settings. Up until now, I felt that looking around in the game felt too snappy and jerky. I found out that the default setting for mouse acceleration is too high and it was messing things up. I've lowered it now and the right thumbstick feels really good and natural. I'm still testing a couple things out but I'll probably post the new file later tonight.

Cheers,
Barry Dingle

PS. I would love to hear feedback and opinions on how the profile is working for you guys, and if any of you have played ME2 on xbox, how does this profile compare.

[barrydingle]

Okay Peeps, I updated the profile so that aiming is now silky smooth. Enjoy!

As of Feb 10th, the .pin has been replaced with a new one that will allow you to quick save your game by holding the start button.
