How to enable Edge Panning and Cursor-Focused Zoom & Rotation in Planet Coaster 2.
Step 1: Close Planet Coaster 2
Ensure that Planet Coaster 2 is completely closed before you edit the file. This is necessary to prevent the game from overwriting or ignoring your changes.
Step 2: Locate the Correct Configuration File
- Open your Windows user folder in the file explorer
- Go to
Saved Games > Frontier Developments > Planet Coaster 2
- Open the folder with your unique player ID, a random looking long number.
- Inside, open the Config folder.
- In the Config folder, look for the file named Controls_remote.config.xml
Step 3: Open the File in a Text Editor
- Right-click on Controls_remote.config.xml file.
- Choose Open With and select a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++.
Step 4: Modify Camera Settings
Once the file is open, locate the block that starts with
<Camera preset=”Custom” version=”4″>
Its near the bottom of the file.
In this block we need to change three lines to enable the advanced settings.
Enable Edge Pan
Change the line
<EdgePan>None</EdgePan>
to
<EdgePan>Circular</EdgePan>
Enable Cursor-Focused Rotation
Change the line
<RotateFocus>Center</RotateFocus>
