Enabling Logitech driving force GT wheel force feedback

[skatn0635]

Hi

 

Is there a way to enable force feedback function of my logitech driving force GT wheel?

 

It seems that DCS do recognize DFGT wheel as force feedback joystick but

 

the trim function does not apply to its wheel and the wheel keeps its original center not

 

changing its center position using trimmer button when the wheel axis is selected as any of

 

roll, pitch and rudder axis.

 

And is it possible to connect two or three same DFGT wheels in one computer, recognized as

 

different joystick in DCS and PC?

 

I want to covert my DFGT joystick into DIY joystick or even DIY force feedback rudder

 

since it has pretty much decent force feedback ability also having high resolution plus push

 

buttons etc.... unlike MSFFB2, which is just 8bit and hard to find.

 

So has anyone tried this?

Make sure you turn off centering spring in the Logitech profiler.

Also there may be a problem with Logitech drivers and DCS FFB commands. The Logitech drivers don't respond to a zero value for constant force: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=99350&page=6&highlight=g940+ffb

 

So it is not as straightforward as it could be.

Oh thx aeliusg

hmm what do you mean by dont respond to a zero value?

and also i couldnt find producer.cfg in my config folder

do i have to download this file???

You shouldn't have to do anything with producer.cfg. That's only to enable/disable FFB. Try switching your axes in the FFB tune pop-up.

 

The zero-value that post is referring to is probably the resting FFB value. If the resting value is not read properly by the Logitech drivers the wheel will center to its default position. At least I think that's the case. That post referred to a fix, that which I don't know has been implemented in 1.2.8. As it is my G940 centers well enough though the trim does not turn off or reset.
