Proper wheel support or no buy

[moparhippy420]

I dont care that this is more on the arcadey side. So is the horrizon series. If this game dont have proper wheel support, and multi input support, then its gonna be a no buy for me. Dont really matter how the rest of the game is.

Simply put, after strictly using a sim rig for over a decade, playing any driving game on a controller is just not fun.

+1 Forza Horizon have wheel support but its bad (force feedback is weird). I'm hoping that TDU will do it better.

I agree vs an actual sim its, very basic and not great, but at least support is there, and its not as bad, or straight up non existent as it is in say, need for speed.

So, if you look at it for what it is, for an open world arcade racer, its serviceable at least.

If KT Racing game no wheel support is super funny.
I hope they don't do funny things.

As someone who played in a few of the beta tests, exclusively with a racing wheel, I can say it worked perfectly with it. The wheel I used was the Logitech g920 Driving Force.

FH5 is very good imho. Off it's not assetto corsa, but it has decent phycysa and good ffb, also multiple devices support. In SC demo you can use only single device, so that's not a good starting point) Also I can't even check phisycs and ffb(

You got the force feedback to work with the G29??

My G29 has no tension, wheel is to loose. I don't feel the curbs or things I hit!

Force feedback working just fine with Wreckfest.

Purple44 theres plenty of force not much for feedback but when i hit a curb it definitly has feedback heres my settings if you wana try them just no its not a sim so full feedback is not gona happen tho i hope it gets improved
overall force 100
self aligning torque 30
tire load 100
self centering 30
wheel recentering force 0

HMM, those are in-game TDUSC settings?

I have tried adjusting the FFB settings. They are set to 100%. I have lower the sliders and change audio language to French to show me a save has been done when I go out on to the road. I come back into Options? Controls. All the FFB sliders are back to 100%. :(

i set them then just backed out of options and everything saved

[JoeS79]

also the latest patch seems to have fixed the nasty clunking that self aligning torgue gave my wheel so now 100 feels good

I Just tested again and still no FFB or tension. :(

In my pic above, it says: Preset - *Logitech G29

Is that what your Preset is set too?

Update, bought TDUSC on Steam 50% sale. Fired up TDUSC and tested my G29 wheel.

Grrr, no improvement! still no FFB, no tension in the wheel. :((

Now will have to find another drive around\ explore\ go off-road racing game.

At least I got Wreckfest 2 early access to look forward too, March 20. Bugbear does a good job at supporting wheels. :)

You may need to reinstall your logitech ghub software. The preset is fine, but the issue is not the preset it most likely rests with a corrupt install of the logitech gaming software, ghub, etc.

Just so others know, the wheel support is very good on almost every other wheel (Moza, Fanatec, Acuforce, etc.) although you may need to reduce rotation to 360 degrees or fiddle with the steering saturation to compensate. The single most important factor for the wheel consists of removing the deadzone by using left shift on the keyboard to access the advanced control menu for each binding that you want to adjust.

I actually use a motion platform in addition to direct drive wheel, handbrake, off brand shifter, etc., and it all works very well together. That said, it still took a loooooooooong time to get it set up correctly.
