IMPORTANT!!!!
Please remove the JCB_3CX_V1 Mod and the Backhoe Buckets Mod before installing this Mod to avoid conflicts. Also, if you are using this mod in
a savegame where the JCB_3CX_V1 mod had been used, you may need to clear your inputbindings file for that savegame to avoid conflicts.

User Info:
- This Mod is not MultiPlayer compatible

- Basic information is available in the srandard HUD (Ignition, RPM, Speed, Backhoe Control Pattern and Joystick Mode indicator)
- For more controls, press 0 on the Number Pad for the full HUD screen

- It is possible to control the backhoe (back actor) using joysticks or the analogue thumbsticks on a joypad. Currently, I have mapped the
drive X/Y axes and camera X/Y axes to the joystick controls since it is not possible to create custom axes. For this reason,
when you are in joystick mode, the drive, steering, and camera are frozen so they don't move while you operate the backhoe.
This does not apply when using the keyboard to operate the backhoe.

- To use the joystick/joypad for the backhoe, point the camera where you want it and press 'V'.
- There are multiple control patterns available, press the period key (.) on the number pad to select the one you want.
For advanced users, you can fully configure the mappings in the xml files.

- There is also a joy2key compatibility mode, so you can use that to configure any input devices to the backhoe controls
as you wish. Joy2Key is a free application that allows you to map the actions of various input devices (mouse, joysticks) to key presses.
- To use Joy2Key, you should create 2 Joy2Key configurations. One will map the input devices to the appropriate keys (see moddesc.xml for the keys used).
This one will be used when controlling the backhoe using other input devices. The second configuration should be a dummy which has no mappings, this one
will be used when not using the backhoe. Assign a button in each configuration to switch between configurations. PM me for sample configuration files.
- Once you have created the configurations, start the game with Joy2Key running.
Press . on the Number Pad until the JOY2KEY control pattern is selected (see HUD in top left).
To drive the machine without using the backhoe, make sure you have the dummy Joy2Key configuration selected
(use the button you assigned to switch between configurations). Alternatively, select the DISABLED control pattern.
To operate the backhoe, ensure the JOY2KEY control pattern is selected, point the camera where you want it, press V, then switch to the main Joy2Key configuration.
