Hello Matlo how are you?! It's been a couple years since we've corresponded. I've juste been made aware of what you've been up to and I am absolutely
FLOORED by the progress you've made mate!!!! I remember corresponding with you in another thread about 2 years ago regarding proper FFB wheel support and you were already very enthusiastic about learning how to get it properly implemented. Now we see you have accomplished your goal and I know you must be proud, as are we all! Pat yourself on the back because you have made HISTORY my friend!
I'll be honest with you, after talking to Jefferson(owner of the TitanOne), I honestly thought HE would be the first one to come out with proper FFB wheel support. But Matlo you have beat him to the punch. I know Jefferson is working hard on it and wants to get it done too though.
Anyway Matlo, just a few comments and questions my friend....
First, tell Edu we all thank him for posting the Youtube videos. We can all clearly see from those vids that this is actually TRUE force feedback effects, not just rumble!
AMAZING!
1)My first question is, and please correct me if I'm wrong....am I correct in assuming that this new FFB feature now allows GIMX users to use virtually *ANY* PC Force Feedback wheel on the PS4, or just ones from Logitech? If only Logitech wheels so far, are you working on getting *any* FFB PC wheel working?
2)I noticed you have only mentioned PS4 in your development blogs. But does this new FFB feature allow ffb wheels to work on the PS3 as well? Or just PS4 for now? Can I, for example say, use the OSW Direct Drive FFB wheel I'll be getting soon, which is a very strong Windows Direct Input HID USB device, on my PS3?
3)If yes to number 2, then what wheel does the GIMX emulate on the PS3? Does it emulate the G27? What are all the wheels emulated so far for the PS3? I'm hoping for PS3 support more than PS4 since there are tons of games I have always wanted to play with my PC FFB wheel but can't because the OSW wheel I'm getting doesn't work on any consoles
4)Is Xbox one FFB steering wheel support something you are interested in exploring as well? What wheel are you looking to emulate there? Logitech G920? Thrustmaster TX 300?
Oh and just for further info, here is the FFB wheel I am referring to, I expect to have everything I need to be racing on the PC once again after a 3 year hiatus.....
This direct drive wheel is a
beast with 30NM of raw force and is capable of serious injury at max power. Certainly not for the faint of heart, but I still would give anything to be able to play Gran Turismo 6 on PS3 with it
Anyway looking forward to your replies. Thanks again and congratulations on this history making event!
