First off here's an over view of my g27 mapping.
Wheel buttons:
Left 1: DRS
Left 2: Push to Talk Team mate
Left 3: Fuel mix rotation
Right 1: KERS
Right 2: Car Status
Right 3: Look back
Paddles shift
This is how I set mine up, you don't have to set yours up this way at all, but for the sake of simplicity I'm just going list how I did it.
Step 1: Go into the game then go to your controls set up and view/customize controls. Find the "quick menu" assignments (default on the g27 is the dpad) and reassign these to key board keys - I used wasd but you can use any of them (buttons like ctrl, alt, delete, esc, f buttons, lock buttons should be avoided to ensure compatibility) W is assigned to up, A to left, S to down, D to right. now exit this screen and exit the game, make sure to save.
Step 2: Ok now on to setting up your commands in the profiler. First open the profiler then go to Edit>Assignments>Commands
The "Commands" dialog box will pop up, and you'll see a couple of empty boxes.
Step 3: click on "New.." button beside the 1st box
The "Edit Commands" dialog box will pop up with "New Command" typed and hi-lighted in the Name field, type something here so that you'll know what your command will be, I typed "Fuel mix 1 lean"
Now click the options button (Record Command Options dialog box will pop up) and select "Record Pauses" then click OK, now back at the Edit Commands box, we're ready to record our macro. Click the "Record" button then type "d, w, s". you'll notice the length of time you held the key down and length between key presses is recorded. I held each key down for .1 seconds and waited .3 between each press, this seems to work well but you can try to go quicker if you want. (this may cause problems in game though as the quick menu isn't so "quick")
Now you have you command for selecting the Lean fuel mix programmed, you can now assign this to any of the buttons on the G27, pretty cool.
For the rest of the fuel and tire commands repeat step 3 using names of your choice and using these key strokes:
"d, w, s" for Lean fuel
"d, w, d" for Standard fuel
"d, w, w" for Rich fuel
"d, d, w" for Prime tires
"d, d, d" for Option tires
"d, d, s" for Intermediate tires
"d, d, a" for Wet tires
Now you should have commands for every option in the quick menu, you can now assign all of these commands to any of the buttons on the G27 by going to the main profiler screen and clicking a button of your choice, a drop down menu will pop up, hover over "select command" and a pop out menu will appear with all of the commands you've already recorded. But assigning every single command to a different button would take up 7 buttons, that's hardly useful on an already crowded wheel/shifter.
Step 4: On the main profiler screen go to Edit>Assignments>Cycle Commands The "Cycle Commands" dialog box will pop up, this should look sort of familiar
Click on the "New.." button and another box will pop up, type "Fuel Mix Cycle" in the name field, you should also see a list of commands you've recorded on the left
Select the command "Fuel mix 1 lean" then click the "> >" button in the middle, do this for the other 2 fuel mixes as well. then click the OK button.
Now you have a cycle command that performs the other commands you've already recorded in a sequence - 1 press will perform command 1, another press will perform command 2, another press will perform command 3, and another press will perform command 1 again.
you can now go to your button of choice in the main profiler menu (button 23 for me) and click on this, hover over "Select cycling command" and select "Fuel mix cycle" you're now good to go, but you need to do something with the tire commands, because hitting the keyboard during a race might not be an easy thing to do.
Step 5: I set up the different tire choices to diagonals on my dpad or as the profiler names it, POV 1. Click on this, hover over "select assignment" and click "New POV Assignment.." the menu that pops up is pretty self explanatory, just name it and assign the tire commands to the diagonal directions using the drop down box.
You're good to go if you've followed all of these steps correctly, just go in game and test it to make sure. as always make sure to use the buttons on the shifter to start the game and navigate the menus so that the controls stay correct.
