I can’t find much info about doing this process, which is surprising. There’s a few things about older versions of UE4 but nothing I’ve seen that works with 5.1 or the in-built driving simulator game.
The G27 is an older system of force feedback wheel, perhaps it’s too old?? But wanted to put my “in development” details on here if anyone else is curious.
In the IMC_Default blueprints, I’ve added Generic USB Axis to IA_Throttle, IA_Brake (break?!) and IA_Steering in addition to the existing controls.
After a handful of hours of messing around, I’ve set throttle to Generic USB Axis 1, brake to Generic USB Axis 5, steering to Generic USB Axis 2. I haven’t added anything to the Inputs option in the Project Settings, because its telling me they’re deprecated.
Accelerates with the accelerator pedal, otherwise comes to a stop. Has a slight right turn to the wheel, and only turns right by the steering wheel. I’m still messing around, but this is so far the closest I’ve come to getting it to go forward. Perhaps this’ll help someone else by saving them a few hours.
I’ll keep updating this if anyone’s interested.
