How to enable G29 force feedback using Simple Controller plugin (UE5.5)

I’m on Unreal Engine 5.5 and trying to use the Simple Controller (Advanced Input Device) plugin with a Logitech G29 steering wheel. My goal is to use this plugin for both inputs (steering and pedals) and force feedback.

What currently works:

  • The G29 is calibrated in Windows and force feedback works correctly in other games.

  • In UE5.5, the Simple Controller plugin detects the wheel:

    • Find Controller by Device Index with index 0 returns Found = true.

    • Steering and pedal input from that device drive my vehicle correctly.

  • The Raw Input plugin is disabled, as recommended by the Simple Controller documentation.

  • Logitech software (G HUB / LGS) is closed while testing.

For force feedback, I’ve added a small Blueprint section (circled in red in the screenshot I’ll attach):

  • Key press → Find Controller by Device Index (Device Index = 0)

  • Pass the returned device into Rumble Wheel with reasonable strength and duration values

However, the node reports that rumble/FFB does not exist for this device and the G29 never rumbles, even though input from the same device works perfectly.

Hi, this is the developer.

This is an SDL issue. The solution is to use the latest plugin version and the latest version of SDL3.dll (3.4.2).
