Force Feedback and DirectInput and XInput interface

Bus Simulator 16 has been optimized for steering wheels which support the DirectInput interface. If your steering wheel supports DirectInput, you can enjoy all force feedback functions of your steering wheel. XInput devices will offer rumble functions only. If your device doesn't support DirectInput, you can of course still play the Bus Simulator 16 without any problems.
In case that you do not know if your steering wheel supports DirectInput or XInput and you are unable to find any information about this in this thread, we recommend to get in touch with the maker of your steering wheel for further information.

German

Force Feedback und die DirectInput bzw. XInput-Schnittstelle

Der Bus-Simulator 16 ist für Lenkräder mit der DirectInput-Schnittstelle optimiert. Unterstützt dein Lenkrad diese Schnittstelle, dann kannst du in den Genuss aller Force-Feedback-Funktionen deines Lenkrades kommen. Bei XInput-Lenkrädern stehen dir unterdessen lediglich die Rumble-Funktionen zur Verfügung. Ist dein Lenkrad nicht DirectInput-fähig, kannst du damit natürlich trotzdem damit den Bus-Simulator 16 problemlos spielen.
Wenn du nicht weißt, ob dein Lenkrad diese Schnittstellen unterstützt und du keine Informationen dazu in diesem Thread findest, kontaktiere bitte den Hersteller deines Lenkrades für weitere Informationen.

I think toy cant fix it
At least when it started on my computer you could not fix it

Weirdly enough, When I reinstalled the game, the actual gearbox functionality started working again.

Really? Cuz i'm stuck with "reverse thingy" when i push break... damn it lol

Switch off "enable driver helper" in the game options menu should stop you reversing when braking.

Really? Because it's annoying. I would prefer to manually engage the reversing as on a real automatic car.

I found out that if I push the breaks really hard and keep the pressure on the ♥♥♥♥♥, my bus would completely stop and not reverse. I have to remove my foot and press again to make it reserves. I guess it could be better than nothing. Just sometime, I try to break and it seems like the break is not working very good. When i release, the bus start to move forward again. But I was afraid of keeping my foot on the ♥♥♥♥♥ as this is the same ♥♥♥♥♥ to go in reverse and I didnt wanted to take a chance to hit the cars behind me.

I'll try what you said. They surely need to work a bit on the driving part of the software. It's not that fantastic compared to Euro/American Truck simulator. I just hope StillAlive will keep working on the game for years. I would prefer they release DLCs to expand the game instead of releasing a new game next year as they are doing for Farming Simulator, etc. Would be so much better to have one bus game and they work to improve it and sell DLCs with new nice content to make their money... that would lead to make an improved amazing bus sim just like they did with the truck sim. It's because SCS kept working on same project for so long that they made a great one. I prefer 100% buying map expansions and stuff like that and they keep working on the same game than having to buy every year a compltely new game. Thnk about it StillAlive. People would surely prefer this business model. Because the market truely lacks a good bus sim.

The support for the Logitech G920 is horrible. No .. it's non-existent! For shame.
Is there anything that could be done to make this wheel work normally? The wheel itself is OK, but the pedals, OH the pedals, they work from 50% detent and even then they apply FULL POWA. So not only do I have to push the pedals half way down, even then I have just what seems like full throttle/slam brakes.

If you have teamspeak maybe later i can help you,mine seems to work kinda lol.
Send me a PM if you want and al send the teamspeak3 details over

[WazCool]

i have thrustmater tx and it desnt work....only an alphanumeric code showing up instead of wheel name and cant bind anything.

[Dragon]

Yea is yours showing as a B677 ?
Am hoping maybe tomorrow i can do a youtube video on how to set thrustmaster up as there is little to no support,
But if you wanted me to talk you through before just let me know buddy and i will try my best for you :)

[rakaS .`,]

Yep Dragon, i have a B677 or similar number. The steering wheels work, but dont work OK. For example, doesnt have FFB.

You can ADD ffb in others steering wheels? create a tutorial, or addme pls.

If you can't add FFB, StillAlive need support this Steering Wheels, and Psychocow dont response.

[Bus-In-Da-House]

yeah i have the thrustmaster t150 too, and yeah, also shown up as something like b677 or so, however:

go in settings and select the b677 thing, then align the buttons for "Forward" and "Reverse".

As the menu say: "press now the button on device" , then you press the ♥♥♥♥♥ you want to use for that, press it full, and the alignment will show something like: "axxis xx ---"

after you did all correct, the wheel and pedals work very fine. it makes fun to drive with them.

BUT.. yeah, there is NO Force Feedback for thrustmaster at the moment.

so, you can not use ffb, but the wheel and pedals work fine..

i still hope, they will add thrustmaster FFB-Support soon.

^^psychocow is not the important person.

" .quelch. " is the competent / relevant programmer, but he also answer not often

mmm...
I think not respond, it is a lack of seriousness. Do you really expect these programmers to recommend this game? Studios StillAlive what do you expect? I do not think I will spend a single euro in this German company.

A simulator really have a great support for steering wheels.

[Dragon]

The FFB does work i made a video of it.

Sorry about bad sound best i could atm

[sdaf13]

please, add support for Logitech G25. I haven't money to buy G27 or somthing else, i love my G25!

[PsychoCow]

The G25 should work fine with the game. Did you install the latest driver as mentioned above?

Users of older steering wheels (like the Driving Force GT and G27), which are not recognized by LGS 8.x, please install the Logitech Gaming Software 5.10.127 which is available here: http://support.logitech.com/en_us/software/lgs#previous-versions
