Force feedback support is available for all Logitech wheel emulations:

  • EMUG29PS4: G29, for PS4 (does not work with PC as target)
  • EMUG27PS3: G27, for PS3 (does not work with PC as target)
  • EMUGTFPS2: GT Force, for PS2 (may work with PC as target)
  • EMUDFPS2: Driving Force, for PS2 (may work with PC as target)
  • EMUDFPPS2: Driving Force Pro, for PS2 (may work with PC as target)
  • EMUG27PC: G27, for PC

There are two force feedback conversion methods: direct translation and OS translation.

Important note about compatibility mode

This concerns at least the EMUG27PS3 firmware.
The G27 is supposed to switch to compatibility mode (behaving as a Driving Force) when in the XMB. GIMX does not do this. As a consequence the controls do not work correctly in the XMB.
To work-around this issue, start the game with a Dualshock 3, and then reassign controllers.

Direct translation

It works for the following Logitech wheels:

  • Formula Force
  • Formula Force GP
  • Driving Force
  • Driving Force Ex
  • Momo Force
  • Momo Racing Force
  • Driving Force Pro
  • G25
  • Driving Force GT
  • G27
  • G29

It also should work for all Fanatec wheels that have a Logitech compatibility mode.

OS translation

  • Windows: any wheel supporting force feedback over DirectInput should work
All PC/Windows-compatible force feedback wheels should work.
  • GNU/Linux: any wheel with force feedback support at driver level should work
Currently only the G29/G920 wheels have good support at driver level on GNU/Linux, with Linux kernel 4.6+.
The G29 has direct translation, and the G920 will have OS translation from GIMX 6.3 (with Linux kernel 4.6+ only).
