Hi,
I'm not sure about this wheel. It may use a specific protocol.
The only way to know is to try. If you plan to try it, let me know and I'll provide you some test software.

Usb adapter parts just ordered.
Meanwhile, i've connected the wheel to my lubuntu 14.04 box and here is the results from dmesg:

Hi there,

I've already built my DiY usb adapter and all is working correctly.

I've sucessfully configured my DriveFx wheel to work with GIMX in linux, and PS4 Project Cars.

I had to manually configure the wheel's buttons and axis, and it works (although no Axial Feedback, as it existed in Xbox360).

Thanks !

Hi,
I think axial feedback is not the same as force feedback, which means this wheel is not compatible with the G29 feedback.
