Post by Barnio »

Hi all, Someone ever tried this with forza horizon 3, I mean can it work for having a th8a shifter along with a g25 wheel and being recognised as one device in that damn game?

Yes it's possible. Zero7159 got it working with FH3, albeit him and Mat are still trying to get GIMX to deliver proper FFB to his wheel. Everything else(ie multiple controllers/devices) is working fine:

Since you already own a G25 you're actually one step ahead of the game ;)

Yep, I am playing Forza Horizon 3 on my PC using my Accuforce direct drive wheel, Main Performance PC Simpedals, Thrustmaster THR8S H and Sequential shifters and my Fanatec Formula rim. As isamu mentioned, I do not yet have FFB, but I am working with Matlo on that and in the meantime I just added some center spring to the wheel's firmware via the Sim Commander 4 software. I have an Arduino adapter that is flashed with the G27 PC firmware.

Hello,

I wanted to upvote this thread.

I am trying to emulate G27 on my PC to play PC games which support G27, but not my wheel, pedals and shifter.

I just received GIMX adapter from the GIMX store. I also have TIAO adapter.

Latest EMUG27PC firmware
Latest GIMX

Both give the same result.

Everything works, but no forcefeedback in any PC game. I can play FH3, GTA 5 (With mod), and Sebastien Loeb. I can steer and accelerate/brake, but no FFB.

I also cannot test FFB in the logitech profiler.

Is this normal for the current state of the GIMX firmware?

I have OSW direct drive wheel with MMOS firmware. I believe Isamu reported he can get FFB to work on his Bodnar wheel. Any tips? Can you test FFB in the logitech profiler?

Hi,
You'll find some instructions here about how to provide useful data about your wheel:

I need this information to figure out what adjustments have to be made for your wheel.

That is a very good and informative guide! Everyone interested in this should read it.

Zero how did you get the Accuforce working? I am not able to get it to work. I host GIMX on my windows 10 laptop and it appears to connect properly and it shows up as a G27 on my desktop that runs the games but no input is output in the games. The PC specific firmware is installed on the GIMX board. I am using just an Accuforce pro with button box and Heusinkveld engineering pedals. Games tried F1 2017 and Project cars.

Any advice you can give me I would be very grateful of.

birdy, you need to map the controls in the GIMX software and then save the profile. The Accuforce should output such that when you turn the wheel left or right, it should show up in GIMX.

Thanks Zero.

Just to confirm as well the Logitech gaming software only gets installed on the PC that is running the game itself, not the machine that is running GIMX?

Thanks for the advice!! :D

birdy, I don't use the Logitech Gaming Software at all. I do not see why it is necessary.
